(For more cool apps and gadgets, check out our inaugural post\u00a0in\u00a0the Weekly Roundup\u00a0series\u00a0featuring\u00a0products that help bring piece of mind<\/a>.)<\/p>\n The art of the meeting is one we\u2019re still learning to master. With seemingly endless\u00a0apps<\/a>, services and TED Talks<\/a> doling out advice on best practices, it\u2019s really hard to implement\u00a0any of it before we\u2019re told it\u2019s all wrong. But even in our incessant meeting fascination, one thing that hasn\u2019t gotten enough play is how we schedule them.<\/p>\n Vyte.in<\/a> is a simple enough concept, which is what makes it so immediately necessary. Just\u00a0choose your invitees and see when they\u2019re available\u00a0\u2014 they don\u2019t even need to use the service. You can make suggestions of times (and even places) for the meeting and after a quick vote, your invitees are notified with a final confirmation.<\/p>\n Google Calendar<\/a> may suffice if the people within your team are already using it, but to avoid much back and forth between outside companies and clients, this is a fluid, democratic choice that eliminates the need for a slew of one-lined e-mails back and forth. Don\u2019t worry: Your invitees won\u2019t see that you blocked out 18 hours on Black Friday to wait in line at Best Buy. Vyte.in simply shows that you\u2019re busy … just cross your fingers that you don\u2019t end up on the news.<\/p>\n There are definitely a ton of calendar apps out there, so we\u2019d love to hear if there are others\u00a0that have similar scheduling capabilities.<\/p>\n You can start using the service <\/i>now<\/i><\/a>.<\/i><\/p>\n How expansive is your internet of things? With all of the smart stuff hitting the shelves on a daily basis, before you know it we\u2019re going to be living a life so intuitive that on\/off switches will become relics of the past just like buttons. Remember buttons? No? Okay … moving on.<\/p>\n Even if you don\u2019t have to communicate with your appliances much anymore, the world would be a better, simpler place if they communicated with each other and Yonomi<\/a> is a great start for that. You can connect all of your devices be they wearable, portable, or plugged in with one app and get them speaking the same language to make you fluent in getting stuff done.<\/p>\n In the demo video, you see Yonomi wake a man up. When his Jawbone reads that he\u2019s awake, his smart coffee maker starts his brew, his lights turn on and his thermostat goes up. When he leaves his house, all of his lights and home devices turn off and all he did was have his morning coffee and get dressed.<\/p>\n We\u2019re always on the lookout for what makes a product truly necessary these days and one thing is for sure, it shouldn\u2019t need much help from you. It should run in the background of your life making your day easier without making a big fuss out of it, or needing the self-gratification of \u201csharing\u201d anything. Yonomi seems pretty effortless, which means you can put more effort into getting to work in the morning instead of just trying to get out of the house.<\/p>\n The iOS version is not yet available, but you can <\/i>download it now<\/i><\/a> for Android.<\/i><\/p>\n This is not Dropbox<\/a>. This is not a hit-and-run service to send large files. It\u2019s your new relationship with file sharing, and if their past versions are any indication, Minbox<\/a> could really spare your computer from the violent shaking that you unleash on it when it doesn\u2019t go fast enough.<\/p>\n Minbox has been around for a while, allowing you to share files large and small right from your desktop at Bruce Lee<\/a> speed. (That means it\u2019s fast, for those of you who are not familiar with the speedometer of martial arts.) But their latest version is even more beautiful and even easier to use. From the few hints dropped in their epic teaser demo,<\/a> you\u2019ll be able to use Minbox with existing cloud services like Dropbox, Adobe<\/a>, Evernote<\/a> and Google Drive<\/a>. You can even invite multiple people to view files and comment on them.<\/p>\n Unlike Dropbox which has an interface reminiscent of your cluttered Finder<\/a>, Minbox looks beautiful and so simple it\u2019s just begging for you to share everything. The layout is visually-based which means less scrolling, less digging and quicker recognition, so you can find what you need and send it in a snap, even on mobile. You can get a better peek at the capabilities of previous versions in this video<\/a>.<\/p>\n Minbox 3 will drop early next year, but you can r<\/i>equest beta access<\/i><\/a> if you\u2019re on the edge of your seat about it.<\/i><\/p>\n When it\u2019s time for your hourly social media check-in, Twitter<\/a> can be an accidental time suck. Sure it\u2019s entertaining, but it\u2019s also informative and if you\u2019re not careful, you\u2019ll end up on a one-hour detour tracking a story from one tweet through the entire Internet. Or maybe instead you Pocket<\/a> the article … and never read it again. Any of this sounding familiar? Muna<\/a> reminds you of your reading list every morning so you don\u2019t forget.<\/p>\n Upon your morning scroll through Twitter, instead of clicking links, Muna effortlessly connects to the \u201cfavorite\u201d function. Just favorite the tweets you want to read later, and Muna will remind you the next morning with a list of articles curated by your own click. If you get a little favorite happy and don\u2019t want links to Kanye<\/a>\u2019s latest antics showing up in your morning Muna (or anywhere … why did you click that again?) you can opt to just use the bookmarklet to add content you want to read later.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re like me, and Pocket is a your go-to, you\u2019ll be happy to know that Muna will soon work with services like Pocket and Instapaper<\/a> so you can get reading reminders without breaking your read-it-later routine. In fact, hopefully it helps you to start one.<\/p>\n Over on Product Hunt<\/a>, Muna\u2019s creator says that we can expect offline and mobile capabilities soon so the app can easily hold its own in the market. It will also allow you to prioritize your content so you can read the most important stuff first. As a person who\u2019s not reading anything longer than 140 character before 10 a.m., I\u2019d like the option of scheduling my daily Muna during my afternoon lunch break instead, but it looks like this service is quickly amping up with new features to make reading online as easy and convenient as it should be.<\/p>\n You can register for Muna <\/i>right now<\/i><\/a>. The first month is free and after that, it\u2019s only $18\/year.<\/i><\/p>\n Sometimes the most distracting thing at work can be wondering what\u2019s going on at home. Camiocam<\/a> puts that curiosity to rest without you having to rig up your house with hidden cameras.<\/p>\n Just leave any device with a camera and an Internet connection (iPhone, iPad, Android phone or tablet, Mac, PC, IP Camera) open and pointed in the direction you want to record. Hit record on the\u00a0Camiocam app, and any time there\u2019s movement in the area, it\u2019ll upload the footage so you can check it out from your mobile device. You also get alerts of anything possibly suspicious happening. And you can\u00a0share your feed with family and friends so if your dog is about to get into the trash again, a nearby neighbor can go stop him.<\/p>\n While this service is mainly meant for security and peace of mind, you can also share fun moments like this one from the Camiocam team to ProductHunt<\/a>.<\/p>\n Camiocam is free to record with one device. Viewing is <\/i>always free<\/i><\/a>, but recording with an additional device is $9\/month. <\/i><\/p>\n Have you tried any of these products? We’d love to hear your thoughts on how they did (or didn’t) improve your productivity!<\/b><\/p>\n![\"vyte.in\"](\"http:\/\/d1vqbpto5tbbz0.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/vyte.in_.jpg\")
