“Not everything is for everyone, but almost everything is for someone,” Abraham Lincoln once said, probably, and these nine mobile apps prove him right. They each do one specific thing, and most of them will be useful to only one specific kind of person.

Making a grocery list seems simple enough. People have been doing it for generations—you simply write down what you need, and take the paper with you to the store. The thing is, there are a lot of ways this can go wrong: When you’re in the living room finishing a snack on a cozy night, are you really going to shed…

In a professional bakery kitchen, you’ll see plenty of multi-purpose tools in action, and cabinets full of gadgets that are equally believable as scalp massagers or torture devices. Although there’s a time and use for all of those utensils, in my home kitchen I ditch the docking roller for a fork. You do not, however,…

Even if you’re not handy, there are certain universal projects that just about everyone tackles at some point in their lives, like hanging a towel rack or a shelf on the wall. And trying to hang stuff on your walls leads to a crucial lesson: Drywall absolutely sucks when it comes to supporting weight.

Losing your iPhone is bad. Losing your entire digital life, from photos to finances, is traumatic. Unfortunately, the latter is all too common. Journalist Joanna Stern recently published a report with The Wall Street Journal detailing how thieves in places like New York aren’t just stealing iPhones, but every valuable…

Sometimes an old piece of glassware or plant pot simply needs a refresh, or you might have a thrifted item that doesn’t quite go with your decor. Refinishing can be a hassle, especially with ceramic and glassware—but there’s a way to use a bucket of water and some paint to make your old things look fresh again, with a…

Compliments (usually) feel good. They can reflect appreciation and value, help build and boost self-esteem, encourage positive behavior, and help create a positive environment. However, even if a compliment is well-intentioned, it can easily fall flat. On the extreme end, it also has the potential to cross lines in…

It’s been a hell of a layoffs season. With this uncertainty in the labor market—not to mention the bigger picture of a looming recession—it’s natural to feel a sense of helplessness. You can’t live in a constant state of paranoia, but it helps to be on the lookout for some signs that layoffs are coming to your office.…

It’s probably not just a feeling you have: Some people really do get way more spam calls, emails, and texts than others. For every fake McAfee order email your friend gets, you get three missives from African, Swedish, Jordanian, and Australian princes trying to take your money—plus two fake package tracking texts and…

Maintaining healthy teeth is obviously important for us, but the same is also true for our cats. Although we may not think about a cat’s dental health quite as often as ours—and attempting to brush their teeth can be its own battle—cats can develop their own dental issues, including abscessed teeth, gingivitis, or a…

If you collect video games, or are holding onto a batch of your childhood favorites, chances are you have more than a few loose carts and discs in your collection. Many retro games came in flimsy cardboard boxes, and I’m willing to bet I wasn’t the only person whose family got rid of game cases in favor of those giant…

Is it possible to go shopping for a life partner? According to the latest TikTok trend, it might just be: “Home Depot dating,” which has racked up more than 6 million views on the social media app, first started as videos of single women looking for eligible bachelors among the hammers, paints, and screwdrivers in the…

I do not own a potato masher. I own a potato ricer, because it’s better at its job. Rather than chasing potatoes around the pot with a masher, I push them through the ricer, extruding them into tiny little bits that can be gently stirred into warmed dairy, reducing the amount of mashing needed, which keeps the…

Eating a frozen pizza for supper can feel a little like giving up, but you can’t deny the convenience factor, nor the nostalgic, juvenile appeal. It is, after all, still pizza.

I would never judge or belittle someone for enjoying their freezer pizza au naturel, but a little adornment can do wonders for them. Here are…

We all google, so we’re all used to Google’s quirks, sponsored links being one of the most visible. These links appear at the top of any given Google search, depending on who pays the most to be there. Even though these links can be largely irrelevant to what you’re actually searching for, sometimes they’re right on…

It’s been years since Apple launched that gimmicky “there’s an app for that” campaign, but it is admittedly accurate as catchy ad slogans go. Apps truly have become ubiquitous: You have apps to help you work out efficiently and apps to save money at your favorite coffee shop, and with spring cleaning around the…

Whether it’s a wedge of snacking cheese or a scoop of “I live alone” ganache, having a small treat available at a moment’s notice is good for everyone. The best treats taste great on their own but also play well with others for an excellent nosh. Since you can never have too many fridge-ready snacks in your rotation,…

The 9th generation, 10.2-inch iPad is selling right now for nearly the cheapest it has ever been since its release in 2021: You can get the 64-gigabyte iPad for $250 at Target and Best Buy, down from its most recent $330 price tag. That’s the lowest price these stores have sold this iPad since its release in 2021, …

After two shows that delivered mixed results (The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan Kenobi) and one that was arguably the best thing to come out of a galaxy far, far away since The Empire Strikes Back (Andor), Star Wars is returning to its OG Disney+ roots. After more than two years, The Mandalorian finally returns on March…

Whatever you think is waiting for us all at the end of our lives, there’s one undeniable universal truth: After you die, someone is going to be left with a large bill. The average cost of a burial is close to $8,000, and the average cost of a cremation is close to $7,000—in a country where the majority of folks would …
