WWDC Demo: Flogger, a flight logger for iPhone

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (RSS feed) on Jul 13th, 2009


We're winding down the last of our WWDC video demos this week, and today we're looking at Flogger, a simple but powerful flight logger for iPhones and iPod touch handhelds (despite a name that might make you look twice). I'm not a pilot, but some of the features sounded pretty nifty, including a method for exporting your logs to Google Docs, right in the app. Other nice options include a huge database of airport codes, the ability to flag entries as simulator flights, and a fast method for adding crew members from your Address Book.

Flogger (iTunes link) is currently $9.99 in the App Store.

Win one of 10 copies of Logbook

by TUAW Blogger (RSS feed) on Oct 15th, 2008

Cory took a look at Transmissions' Logbook app last week. Designed for your Logbook on Backpack:

The application gives you a simple user interface with which you can update your status and add completed tasks. If you're having a hard time remembering to update your Journal, have Logbook remind you every x number of minutes, and only between certain hours. In addition, you can set a keyboard shortcut for showing/hiding the application in the menu bar.

Now, courtesy Transmissions, you can win one of 10 licenses for Logbook. Just drop them a line at contest@transmissionapps.com to enter.

UPDATE: fixed the email address, sorry folks!

First Look: Logbook for Mac

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Oct 7th, 2008

If you frequently use 37Signal's Backpack web software, then chances are you don't like having to open a new web browser tab/window each time you wish to update your Journal. Logbook hopes to ease your woes by updating your Backpack Journal directly from your Mac OS X Menu Bar.

The application gives you a simple user interface with which you can update your status and add completed tasks. If you're having a hard time remembering to update your Journal, have Logbook remind you every x number of minutes, and only between certain hours. In addition, you can set a keyboard shortcut for showing/hiding the application in the menu bar. Your updates are sent using 128-bit SSL encryption.

You can purchase Logbook from the developer's website for $12.99. A demo of the application is also available.

Tip of the Day

To get an instant map to any address, just go to your Address Book and right click on the address field of any one of your contacts and select "Map Of." The address will then be revealed in Google Maps on Safari. You can do the same if a data detector determines there is an address in an e-mail in Mail.
