There are apps available that can help take your daily stresses away, get you organised and keep you fit at the same time.

Hive
No one likes to get home to a cold house because they have forgotten to set the time on their boiler before work. It’s an easy mistake to make, but a mistake that you don’t have to make in the future. If you invest in Hive Active Heating you can control your heating whenever and wherever you are. The system requires a wireless thermostat, hub and receiver but once set up, you can enjoy money and energy savings throughout the year.
If you forget to set the timer before work in future, fear not! You can switch your heating on and off from your office desk. You can leave work knowing you’ll be welcomed by a warm, cosy house.

Simple scan them via your smartphone camera, and the app will organise them into a digital bank of information.

Out of Milk
Organising the grocery shop for a full household isn’t always simple. It can be tough to organise who is buying what, or to let the other know when something needs replacing.

It is available for Android smartphones, putting an end to shopping mishaps. The lists can be updated almost instantly, meaning you’ll never find yourself out of milk, or with enough milk to last a lifetime.
