BLOG - App-solutely Essential: Exploring My 3 Most Used Phone Apps

Hey there quilty friends! 🧵❤️

You know, running a business can be hectic at times. So, today I want to share a little secret with you...three of my most used apps on my phone that help me stay organized, boost my social media game, and make editing videos a breeze. These apps have been a game-changer for me, and I think they can be super useful for you too!

Let's dive right in, shall we?

1. Trello: Your Organizational BFF

Where do I begin with Trello? This app has become my go-to for keeping my life (relatively) organized. And the best part? It's available for both iPhone and Android users, so everyone can join the Trello party!

With Trello, you can create boards for different aspects of your life or business (or both!). I personally have three boards: Open, Closed, and New. The Open board is where I keep track of the tasks I'm currently working on. I try to keep it to three tasks at a time, because let's face it, we can only juggle so much at once, can't we? 😅

As I finish a task, I simply swipe it over to the Closed board. Such a satisfying feeling! Plus, there's even a confetti explosion to celebrate your progress. Who doesn't love a little virtual confetti, right?

And then there's the New board. This one's for all those new ideas or tasks that I haven't started yet. It's like a dream incubator, a place to store those thoughts and get them out of my busy brain and onto paper (or you know, virtual paper).

But wait, there's more! You can use Trello in so many creative and personalized ways. Right now, I'm also setting up boards for my 2-week, 3-month, and 1-year goals. It's like having a visual roadmap to keep me focused and motivated.

2. Inshot: Lights, Camera, Action!

Now, let's talk about Inshot, one of the many video editors out there. In my opinion though, it's one of the easiest ones to use. And we all love simplicity, don't we?

With Inshot, you can effortlessly add music, text, cut videos, add slow-motion effects, speed up clips, and so much more. It's like having a mini editing studio right in the palm of your hand! Whether you're creating content for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, or wherever your heart desires, Inshot is here to make your videos shine!

And guess what? It's completely free to use. However, I do pay a small fee to remove the Inshot watermark.

Inshot is also available for Android, so no worries if you're not team iPhone. 😉

3. Preview: The Instagram Planner Extraordinaire

Are you an avid Instagrammer? Well, Preview is like having your very own Instagram planner, and it's a total lifesaver.

The basic version of Preview is free, but there are some paid upgrade options if you want to take it to the next level. But honestly, the free version is perfectly adequate for most of us!

Preview allows you to plan all your Instagram content in advance, so you can keep your feed looking fabulous and cohesive. But that's not all! It also comes with awesome in-app photo editing tools, making it easy to enhance your shots and make them shine like a star. 🌟

But wait, there's more! You can write your captions in advance, save frequently used hashtags (because who has time to reinvent the wheel with every post?), and even schedule your posts. It's like having a personal assistant for your Instagram game - how cool is that?

Oh, and just like Inshot, Preview is available on Android too. So whether you're team iPhone or Android, you can take your Instagram game to the next level!

Now, I'm dying to know, do you have any apps that you find incredibly useful for everyday use? I'd love to discover some new gems thanks to your recommendations.

I hope you found these app recommendations helpful. Remember, they're all about boosting productivity, nailing social media, and making editing videos a breeze. Give them a try and let me know what you think!
