Insanely Cool Tools - Substack Edition #14
Best tools in your pocket! 📱
Hello! 👋
Happy Sunday! Or should I say, “snowy Sunday”? It’s almost May, and it was snowing here in Vilnius, Lithuania 🇱🇹 …. 🫠❄️
Here is the video from a few hours ago:
Also, need a recommendation. 🙋♂️
I’ll be in Budapest (Hungary 🇭🇺), from April 29th to May 4th. If you have anything to recommend or if you’re based in Budapest, let me know too. I might have some time to grab a coffee. I’ll keep an eye on my email.
This issue is slightly updated.
I’ve added 10 mobile apps for iOS and Android users. I hope both sides will be happy with it! 🤞
You’ll also find a new section called “Friends.” As I promised, I’m coming back with a few companies that offered better deals for our community.
Without further ado, let’s dive into this week’s issue.
Just want to remind you that I really appreciate every like ❤️ and comment and email you sent me!
Thank you for reading and for your support!
You can find me on LinkedIn & X. Let’s connect!

📱Mobile Apps
Both (iOS + Android)
📍Lexie
Snap a photo of your notes, and it reads them and builds a practice set from them. Not just flashcards from your highlights, but actual questions an exam would ask: multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, and open-ended questions where AI evaluates your answer and tells you what you missed.

📍Mindspend
It tracks how you feel about each purchase. Every expense gets one of three emotion tags: worth it, okay, or regret. No categories, no bank linking, no complicated setup. Just one simple question after each purchase: how did that feel?
📍GitFit
Snap meal photos or describe them, and AI tracks only the nutrients, exercises, and activities you care about each day, with clean, shareable progress charts. You can also ask AI questions about your data and build real-time, dynamic dashboard widgets that show the stats that matter to you, exactly how you want them.
