Groceries for iPhone

Written by

Groceries is the quickest way to compose shopping lists on your iPhone and iPod touch.

Just start typing – Groceries will instantly suggest the items you are looking for, and even detect amounts and units. Got a product that Groceries doesn’t know yet? Just add it to your list once, and you’ll never have to type that product’s title again. Composing a shopping list is just a matter of a few taps!

I really like the apps that Sophia Teutschler makes, Groceries included.

Project Amy integrates App.net with Messages for Mac

Written by

The people you follow will be shown in your buddy list. Double clicking one will open a new chat window and start a new private messaging session like you would see on Omega. Sending and receiving messages happen very fast, usually within a second. You can drag files into the chat window, and they will upload to your account’s App.net file storage and be sent as part of a message.

I haven’t tried it yet, but it sounds interesting.
