Diet tracking app ‘Calory’ now tracks water, subtracts burned calories, more

Image
The excellent calorie tracking app ‘Calory’ has a welcome update out with useful new features just in time for the new year. Calory is similar to other apps for logging meals like MyFitnessPal, but with a modern design and deeper platform integration. Calory works with Dark Mode, Siri Shortcuts, and includes great apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac (my favorite Mac Catalyst app). The concept is simple. Set your daily calorie goal like 2000, then log your calories throughout the day to try to stay within your goal. Calory works with HealthKit, too, so you can view historical data logged in Apple Health. more… Check out 9to5Mac on YouTube for more Apple news: The post Diet tracking app ‘Calory’ now tracks water, subtracts burned calories, more appeared first on 9to5Mac . source https://9to5mac.com/2019/12/31/calory-apple-watch-dieting/

A decade of podcasts: Top 10 best shows of the 2010s

Image
The decade has come and gone, and if there is one thing that was a massive change for me over the past decade, it was how much time I spent listening to podcasts. I change podcast apps like I change my socks. I subscribe to new shows like other people read magazine articles. As we close out the decade, I wanted to take a look at my favorite shows from 2010 to now. During that time, I’ve seen my friends start new shows, friends start new companies , and have seen major media companies open their eyes to the opportunities that exist in the space. If I don’t list links to subscribe, it means the show is retired. So let’s get to it. Here are my favorite shows from the 2010s. I’ve left out all 9to5 shows on purpose, but I highly recommend our entire network .
