If you are one of those lucky people they have been given a gift IPad these masters, in terms of detail: may be starting to use it as a general purpose or as a hobby, but Apple's tablet It is also an excellent production tool. It doesn't matter the model: its details don't care about this kind of use because the basic model is already strong enough.
All you have to do is pay attention to the other apps available on that iPad, which are often overlooked they are excellent tools to enhance our focus if we also put power over ourselves. Let's review.
Notes for scanning documents
The iPad is a great tool for you to have paperless if you add another entity to your component. With the Notes app you can scan documents using a tablet camera, and get the most ambitious results you have with any scanner. You just need to focus the page well on good light conditions and you will have this text included in one of the iCloud notes.
From there, as we explain in this tutorial, you can submit a scan paper in PDF format and share it with anyone you need. Personally it's something that has allowed me to get rid of all the paperwork in my daily life, and to be able to carry everything I need on my iPhone thanks for syncing with iCloud. In this case we may add documents such as identity cards, driver's licenses or legal papers; things we can always protect text under password and biometric security.
Notes are installed for free on all Apple devices.
Reminders, Items or Todoist for tasks
The management and organization of our activities and projects is very important, and each person will defend whether their preferred program is one or the other. In this I will highlight three:
- Reminders as a basic operations manager, where you can list your desired output and adapt it to your favorite production methods. In this tutorial we teach you how to do it in a GTD way. It's completely free and syncs with the Apple Watch to see those functions on your wrist.
- Things It is light for GTD manager management, for those who prefer to adapt to that approach without being too flexible. He is one of the most legendary executives of the iOS / iPadOS platform and many are not tired of continuing to compliment despite their age. The iPad version costs 21,99 euros.
- Todoist It is a highly recommended manager for those who are unsure of the traditional Reminders app. It is based on the GTD system, but is very customizable and can be used in the basic form for free or for many subscription payments. the premium.
Cloud storage control files
You should change the chip and stop ignoring the Files app, on the iPad and iPhone. I already describe it as "Receiver", because it can integrate all major cloud storage services such as external drivers We need to connect to the device. Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud Drive and our external hard disk and external disks are integrated into one system so file management on the iPad will stop science fiction.
Google Docs work with flyers with documents, spreadsheets and presentations
Yes, we can use Microsoft Office or iWork on our iPad without any problems, but I'll highlight Google Docs with it its simple functionality, its obvious integration and its versatility. Divided into three programs (Docs, Sheets and Presentations), Google Docs lets us work without storing everything on a regular basis and leaving everything stored safely in Google Drive storage.
Unique and easy to use in real-time with other people: I didn't see any other way this feature works in Google Docs. And all of this for free, I need a Google user account (Gmail email) to work. And if you don't have your iPad close, you can go to the service website from any computer.
Notes or comments to draw quick schemes
We return to traditional application notes for another important function for those who attend meetings or take notes in class: freedom of be able to draw free schemes. Here the Apple Pencil is very grateful for its integration with the iPad, because by simply touching the screen it can start drawing faster.
If we want something more comprehensive and flexible, 9,99 euros in the App Store is anonymous. With it we can change our handwritten text digitally and combine all types of content into one note. For institutional or university classes it can be your new favorite program, as evidenced by a video made by Apple with the app in the past and which you can see above.
Slack group editing
If you want it edit a group For something to work, then Slack can be the key to doing it without hiding it in endless emails. It is a fast-paced messaging platform, where each member can create multiple rooms or individual conversations. It's free, or if we want to keep an unlimited history of our conversations we have to pay subscriptions based on the number of people in our group.
I'll tell you a secret: Slack has been a part of my daily life as an editor at Applesfera for years and has cleared email as our top communication tool.
Siri shortcuts to perform repetitive tasks
Finally, for those who want to get into something more complex, we can't ignore the Siri shortcuts that exist in iPadOS. Thanks to this free app we can create a workflow that performs repetitive tasks what we do on our iPad, and which can also be synced with iPhone.
If you don't know where to start, we have a combination of 37 Siri shortcuts to check the power of this tool. And if you don't have enough, here's another list with the top 21 shortcuts.
