Keep on top of Christmas with these reminder apps

Christmas can feel like one never ending to do list; no matter how many times you cross something off, another two tasks get added on the end. When you’re shopping, travelling, trying to get your work finished or navigating childcare, streamlining the things that need doing can make a huge difference. Here are a few apps that might make December a little easier to manage.

To share the load of shopping: AnyList

Do you feel like the load of Christmas is evenly distributed between you and your partner, roommate or family members, or is one person carrying everything themselves? When tasks aren’t shared, it can lead to confusion, frustration and resentments in relationships.

AnyList is a simple little app which allows you to create and share lists with others, so whether you’re shopping for Christmas dinner, presents for the kids or tree decorations, you don’t accidentally buy the same thing twice. Just make the list, share it with the people who need it, and whenever something is crossed off, everyone is informed. If you’re using it for Christmas dinner, you can even store and organise recipes in the app.

To keep track of what everyone is doing: Cozi

As well as all of those tasks that need doing, your December might look like a long list of events. If you find yourself continually overwhelmed by the amount of nativity rehearsals, pantos and Christmas parties that you have to go to (or get the kids to), it’s time to ditch the paper calendar and use an app. 

Cozi is a family organiser app that helps you manage appointments, events and tasks at a glance. Cozi tracks everyone’s activities in one place, so there’s no need to text to find out what someone else is doing. Each user can choose a colour to identify themselves, so you can see who is attending, or responsible for each appointment. You can also receive automatic notifications, and emails, so that everyone is always kept in the loop.

To remind you to take care of yourself: Finch

It’s no surprise that for some people, Christmas can be a time when mental health can suffer. Not only is there a huge amount to prepare, get ready and purchase, the expectations that we can put on ourselves, or that others can put on us can feel like too much. Meeting our own needs, whatever that looks like, can often get put to the back as we try to manage the other demands on our time

Finch is a free self-care app that gamifies taking care of yourself; perfect for those of us who are neurodivergent and struggle to take care of our needs, as well as those who just need a little extra help when looking after themselves. Choose an egg, hatch a Finch, and give it a name. Then take care of your bird by picking some goals like drinking water, brushing your teeth, and stepping outside. Finch will notify you at certain times of the day to remind you to look after yourself, and your bird will grow when you do. 


The Transcendit Way

Transcendit understand that when you choose to work with us, whether we're taking care of your IT, app or web development, you're trusting us with part of your business. So whether we're looking after your computers, phone systems or servers we always do things 'the Transcendit way'.

The whole of our team adhere to the same values, beliefs and policies - the principles that were written when Transcendit first formed in 2000. Whether you come to us for cloud services or recovery backup you can be confident that you'll always receive the same excellent service.

The Transcendit way outlines how we do business; following the same straightforward principles with every client and customer, regardless of how big or small they may be.

That means we get to know you and your business. We offer you a friendly, professional and efficient service, and we'll always be honest with you.
We understand that not everybody speaks fluent IT, so we try to explain things in a way that is simple and clear. We always spend as much time as is necessary explaining things to you.
If you need to talk to us about something, no matter how insignificant, we are only ever a phone call away – and we’re never too busy to make you a cup of tea and have a sit down with you in person.
We understand how frustrating it can be when things are late. When we schedule an appointment with you, we are there when you’re expecting us. If something prevents us from getting there, we always call you in advance to let you know.
Sometimes things can go wrong, but we never lie to you or try to cover something up. If things go askew we tell you what’s happened and how we plan to prevent it affecting your business.
We want you to continuously benefit from working with us. We regularly discuss your business and make suggestions for improving systems and processes wherever we can – but we never try to push you into a purchase.
When we quote a fixed price, that's always the amount we charge – you won’t find any nasty surprises on a bill from us. If you are paying by time and materials, we inform you if our approximations could change.
We understand the importance of privacy for your business and your customers. We respect the confidentiality of your data, and we will never pass on your information to third parties.
We appreciate it when you take the time to give us feedback. A system called CustomerSure records our client's responses, so you can trust that our reviews are from real people.

The lads are absolutely fantastic and we can’t do without them, everyone I’ve dealt with has always been so patient, lovely and never patronising with me and I’m probably hard work. I would be lost without you David Wright
