Apps for Academics

The Chronicle of Higher Education‘s ProfHacker blog featured a nice post yesterday about the best applications for academics. After going through the list, I decided to install f.lux, which adjusts the color of your computer’s display depending on the time of day and (supposedly) helps you sleeps better.

Otherwise, my favorite apps are Read It Later, Freedom (which is well worth the $10 price when deadlines are approaching), and Evernote.
