Depending on who’s doing the talking, Confide is an app that helps you cheat on your spouse, or a medium for confidential business discussions. Created by a co-founder of local news site Patch and the CEO of marketing software company Yext, Confide lets its users send private, end-to-end encrypted messages to one another that disappear after being read. It even has a feature that requires the receiving user swipe-to-reveal a message, which the company claims will prevent any unwanted screenshots. With five stars just one day in on the App Store, the future is bring for Confide—so long as it doesn’t self-destruct.
Lumosity Mobile
This sleek, beautifully-designed app will let you train your brain when you have a few moments of downtime during the day. Said to be designed by neuroscientists by its creator, Lumos Lab, Lumosity Mobile’s mini games are fun—but backed up by real concepts meant to sent your brain to mini boot camp.
Have a question? Biz Stone, a Twitter co-founder, wants to help you find an answer. His new app Jelly, which launched this week, is a question-and-answer tool that taps the power of your network to answer just about anything. Users post a photo, add a question, and send it off into the ether to be answered. I tested it with my boots (“Are these waterproof?” The answer: Nope.), seltzer water (“How many of these can I drink a day?”) and with a photo taken of President Obama at the White House. I got answers to all three questions in just a matter of minutes. While I waited, I answered a few questions asked by friends of my friends. The algorithm seems to tap into a wider pool of people than those I directly follow on Twitter or Facebook, which makes for the likelihood of getting good answers for more reliable.
