The most interesting and useful news on Google Play this month.

Applications

1. Remind Me

This app does exactly what its name suggests - reminds you of different things to do. The principle of operation is incredibly simple: you type text, set the date and time (or even do without them), and at the right time the program will show you a notification. No lists, no syncs, no calendar - just reminders. Useful for those who hate functions overloaded with functions.

2. Disable Touch

Sometimes you need to put a phone in your pocket with the screen on. For example, when you play videos in apps like YouTube or Netflix and want to listen to them in the background, without visuals. In this case, you need Disable Touch. This program makes the screen insensitive to pressure, so that the device will not turn off by itself. Disable Touch pauses automatically during calls.

3. Focustime

A quality Pomodoro timer optimized for AMOLED screens. Start a 25-minute countdown and get busy with a task without distraction. At the right time, the program will remind you that it's time to take a break.

Unlike most similar applications, Focustime not only counts down time, but also displays a colored label with the name of the task being performed at the moment - according to the author's intention, this helps to focus. In addition, Focustime collects detailed statistics so you can determine what activities you spend the most resources on during the workday.

4. NextGam

NextGam is just a godsend for avid gamers who don't know what else to play. The app tracks new game releases and contains an extensive library of titles sorted by genre, rating and release date. You can set up filtering - for example, track only actions or only projects for Playstation 5. There are also mobile games in the library. And if you are waiting for a specific title, NextGam will be able to show you how much time is left before the release.

5. PhotoRoom

PhotoRoom is a fun photo editor that can remove backgrounds from your photos. Select an object, cut it out, add a new backdrop, add a lettering or sticker, and you're done. Then the result of your work can be sent to Instagram or any other application.

6. Hopa

A minimalistic web browser specially designed for background use. When minimized, it appears on the home screen as a bubble on the side. This is useful if you frequently switch between your browser and other applications. Hopa also makes it very convenient to run YouTube videos in the background.

7.zipNship

Sometimes you need to send several files or photos by mail, but the size of attachments in the same Gmail should not exceed 25 MB. The problem can be solved with zipNship, a handy archiving program. It works like this: you select several of your files in any manager convenient for you, click "Share", and then press zipNship. The application adds files to a ZIP-archive and offers to immediately send it wherever you want through any email client, messenger or cloud.

8. Note It

Cute app for notes and to-do lists. Supports day and night modes. The leaves can be colored in different colors so as not to get confused. In addition to tasks, you can insert a picture or URL from the Internet into each post. The search bar allows you to quickly find the notes you want.
