![]() ![]() The service has no easy “front door”, instead being buried deep in the settings menu, which means if you need to actually find out what the random password you just assigned is – say, to log in on a non-Apple device – you’ll be clicking for a while. The feature, which is part of iCloud, will automatically sync passwords across devices, and suggest new randomised ones when you’re signing up to a site through Safari. (Where Microsoft gives with one hand, it takes away with the other: Sunrise would probably have taken Fantastical’s place here, except the calendar app was bought by Microsoft last year and will be shut down next month) Swap iCloud Keychain for 1PasswordĪpple’s password manager isn’t an app, strictly speaking – but that’s part of the reason why it’s worth replacing. If you want to take it further, you can swap in the desktop version of Fantastical too – though at $39.99, that’s a bigger commitment. It has an impressive natural language engine which, unlike Apple’s, actually works, letting you type “write a post about great productivity apps at 3pm on Friday” and get a calendar event already populated. There’s a nifty “day ticker” which lets you see how busy you are in any given day from the top level view. The app, now in its second version for mobile, has a few specific features which make it worth the £4. It handles time-zones terribly – I’ll never forgive it for making me miss the last Eurostar out of Paris on a Sunday night – but that’s about all. It’s clean, relatively fully-featured, and syncs well with third-party services. The built-in Calendar is one of the better apps that comes with iOS. Microsoft built on the app’s productivity features, adding syncing with cloud storage platforms, improving the built-in calendar, and adding support for a huge number of email services. Unlike those two, though, Accompli wasn’t shut down after its acquisition, but instead overhauled further. Like Mailbox and Sparrow before it, Accompli was a delightful stripped-down mail client, working with multiple webmail platforms and offering now-standard features like swiping to archive or schedule for follow-ups and a focus on inbox-zero mail management. Outlook Mobile is based on an app called Accompli, bought by Microsoft back in 2014 and rebranded a few months later. That might be because it wasn’t really made by Microsoft. On mobile, Outlook is really, really good. Home of recall requests that don’t work, weird proprietary smilies, and the most famous computer virus in history.
