Being organized means so much more than keeping a file folder with some old receipts under your bed. In 2011, your iPhone can be the best tool you have to keep your life in order. You don’t need big file cabinets, California closets, or other expensive niceties. You just need a few good apps. Try these out and see if you don’t feel a little more put-together at the end of the day.
Organizer + ($2.99)
Nothing says “organized” like color-coded to-do lists, which means Organizer + is, at the very least, true to its name. It’s essentially an extension of the standard Calendar app, except you’re given a lot more options to sort your appointments. You can arrange tasks by either their distance from you or the priority they have in your life. The app is also integrated with standard iPhone apps like email, SMS and the phone itself so you can add an app icon next to your reminder to call your best friend and save yourself an extra step in the process.
SWAGG (Free)
SWAGG is the perfect app if your wallet is currently full of way too many gift cards. The app lets you handle important gift cards for over 500 supported merchants, meaning you can leave the plastic at home and keep track of how many cards you have at the same time. SWAGG also offers users additional discounts for the stores it supports, essentially giving you a few coupons just for entering in your gift card info.
iWardrobe ($0.99)
If you ever find yourself wanting to explain an outfit to a friend but don’t want to bring it over, iWardrobe is the sort of app your disorganized life requires. You can add clothing individually or outfits as a whole and keep your entire closet available to look at right on your iPhone. Congratulations, you’re a real life Ken or Barbie doll!
iPresents ($0.99)
Buying things for people is stressful business. iPresents tries to ease the difficulty by helping you keep track of what you’ve bought for your friends, family and work during your holiday of choice. You can keep a budget and then spend away on your loved ones and the app will keep track of just how much money you’ve got left to give out as you enter in the purchases you make. Now when little Timmy asks why he didn’t get the gift he wanted, you can point to the cold hard facts that there was just too many other gifts to get for everyone.
Doodle for iPhone ($2.99)
Doodle for iPhone is a quick way to organize gatherings. Whether you need to schedule a business meeting or just want to get your pals together for a night on the town, you can invite your friends with this app and then plan away. Everyone’s email stays clear of the endless clutter that scheduling can create and you get an easy way to keep track of your social or business happenings.
