  • PAXitis 2.0 ($10) allows users to enter times and penalties and then calculate resulting PAX/RTP times. PAX times are handicaps assigned to cars based on their make/model/year and level of modification and are used to judge performances at the national level. The application can compare entered times and show position and the real time behind first place.

  • Streaks ($3) is a productivity and motivation tool that encourages users to mark days on the calendar when a certain task is accomplished. The ultimate goal is to get on a streak of good habits so that they become second nature. Users can set up several calenders for tracking different streaks and each includes notes on the current streak and the longest streak to date.

  • Theseus ($1) provides a new spin on the traditional maze game. The player takes on the role of Theseus and must reach the end of the labyrinth while avoiding the Minotaur. The player guides Theseus around one space at a time but players must plan each step carefully as the Minotaur gets two steps for each of Theseus'. The game features over 85 levels of increasing difficulty and can provide hints if a player ever becomes stumped.

  • MySongbook ($1) is a tool that songwriters can use to mange their journal of songs. Users can enter songs and then add chords by manually typing them in or using the built in chord dictionary to find the desired chords. The application can also import ChordPro files that have been uploaded to a website and then downloaded and entered into the users catalog through the applications built-in browser.

  • Dog Whistler (free) is a utility that can simulate various dog whistles. Users can select a frequency to use and then train a dog to associate that pitch with an action. Users can set up a series of preset frequencies so that the commands for a trained dog are always accessible.
