Digitize old negatives of photos

 I am sure most of us have some old negatives of photos from our parents time lying at our home. I saw some posts that we can digitize them but after trying one or two things , they seemed difficult.

Until i encountered this app called Filmbox by Photomyne . It is simple to use and was able to digitize some of the negatives i had into colour photos. 

Links for app : Android , iOS.

The app is very simple to use . Just install, it gives instructions on how to create backlight (going to their website) , just scan and hold and voila you have your photos.

How to setup hourly reminders in iOS devices

 My biggest productivity hack i believe is to setup a hourly buzzing reminder on my iphone . It brings back on path to focus. 

There is an inbuilt reminder facility that can work but it creates a task and i need to mark complete the task so that it can keep working .  For reference, there is a good tutorial on how to achieve it. LINK

I was searching for a simple app that could avoid this creating task but just give a beep notification hourly and chanced upon " Chime"  . It is plain simple and clutter free UI and does the job perfectly.
