As someone who uses the ipad pro and iphone x max constantly for school, I tend to dab around looking for the perfect apps to suit my needs and hobbies. If anyone wonders what apps I use for school, here are some “fundamental apps” I pertain to.

schedules and lists:

  • Calendars 5 - Calendars 5 is complete re-imagining of what the best mobile calendar experience should be. Calendars 5 is smart, excels in both tasks and events and runs on any iOS device you might have. It’s the calendar app you have been looking for.
  • Taskade - A great organized app that helps you organize your tasks or write simple notes.
  • Minimalist - a minimalist themed app that lets you list tasks very simple with other functions such as music and scenery to help you focus on those tasks.

timing, relaxing, and focus:

  • Clock - This is the default app that comes along with your ios device. I would say the functionality in it is very helpful to maintain alarms and a steady sleep schedule with the sleep function!
  • Tide - The tide app is an amazing peaceful app that lets you choose a time setting for how long you will work with soothing sounds playing in the background. The sounds really do help me focus and I highly recommend this app.
  • Flat Tomato - This app helps you split your time and measures it. For example, you would work for 25 minutes and then you would have a 5 minute break. This app really helps me with splitting my time and my tasks accordingly.
  • Forest - The forest app is absolutely great if you need help with staying away and off from your phone. The app grows a tree for up to two hours of constant studying which you would grow your tree in the meantime. If you do go on your phone and switch the app, the tree dies.
  • Flora - This is an alternative if you cannot or do not want to buy the forest app. It sort of works just like Forest, but you have a small 2D garden rather than a square terrain you see your trees grow on.
  • Oak -  Oak helps the monkey-minded decompress by transforming meditation practices from experiments into habits. We support you from your first session to your 500th, with mindful, loving-kindness, and sleep meditations as well as unguided sessions and breathing exercises. Individualize your meditations by duration, and customize with silence or calming background sounds. Oak tracks your progress and encourages you to continue building a healthy meditation practice.

drawing and art:

  • Procreate - My absolute favorite app that works so well with art. I draw most of my art work in there and occasionally make headers and calligraphy with it.
  • Ibis Paint X - This app is the pro version of another art app which has a few advantageous functions than procreate, but nonetheless helps a lot with making some really fine art.

titles and notetaking:

  • Over - The Over App is perfect to made headers and titles that are easily transferred to the goodnotes app.
  • Phonto - The Phonto app is another perfect app to make the titles with, but it isn’t easily transferred to the goodnotes app and you would need to save the image as a png to upload it to the page, but there are more fonts you could and you can add a lot of your own fonts as well.
  • Keynote - I use this app to make folders and planners and this works as a powerpoint but for apple of course. There are a lot of great tutorials that help with making cool planners and notebooks with this app.
  • Docs - Helps download videos and documents off online through mobile devices and organize files accordingly
  • Goodnotes - One of my favorite apps I use to take majority of my notes. It helps me organize my courses into different notebooks all in one app.
  • PDF Expert- I use this app in order to view my textbooks straight from the drives I use and occasionally edit and note take directly on my PDF books.

resources and flashcards:

  • Chegg - College resource with a flashcard app as well.
  • Course Hero - Upload documents to open documents related to the courses that you may be taking! Free when you upload your own documents, so try it! Great place to get accurate study guides.
  • The Khan Academy - App to take practice tests and get guidance on material related to your courses. Great app to get you on track and help you focus!
  • Quizlet - great app to organize flashcards and practice tests
  • DuoLingo- A wonderful language app that helps me keep a streak and maintain my language learning.
  • Periodic Table - This app is what it says it is. The periodic table. As someone who’s major focuses on Chemistry, I really do need this app and hopefully this app is useful for you all as well!

photos and editing:

  • VSCO - My favorite app that filters and edits images to make them look vintage or clean.
  • Snapseed - Another editing app with more controls and settings to help edit the images and color in areas to make them brighter or dimmer.
  • Afterlight 2 - A great editing app that helps add effects and details to images
  • PicPlayPost - an app that helps with organizing my images into collages or video cropping to make my images look neater. I also use it to edit my watermarks
  • Analog Seoul -  Analog Seoul is the eighth app of Analog Film City Series. With the specially created Analog Seoul photo filters, you can edit your pictures as if they were taken in Seoul.

printing, scanning, and storage:

  • Printerpro - A great app that helps with printing wireless from your iPad.
  • Scanner Pro - Scanning documents high quality and upload them to cloud
  • Drive - The best and foremost easiest storage to use and because I go to school/ university I have unlimited space for my files!
  • iCloud Drive - I only use this for photos or back ups, but occasionally it works well when I need to transfer files through apps that only use this form of storage.
  • Dropbox - Another storage application, but I usually use this for items I don’’t really need unless there’s an emergency. I use it to store mostly audio files and heavy files for keynote

entertainment and reading:

  • Netflix - To watch all my favorite movies and shows
  • Crunchyroll - I watch all my animes that I can here on this app
  • Kissanime - of course an alternative to crunchyroll is kissanime if you want to find animes for free (there are ads though)
  • Youtube - I mainly use this app for tutorials and guides to homework and projects
  • The CW - I watch all of my favorite local shows like the Flash, DC Legends, and Riverdale on this app for free.
  • MangaRock - I read most of my mangas on this app
  • iBooks - the installed app by apple where I transport a lot of my books into for reading and entertainment
  • VLive - For all my kpop friends, you know what this is for.

Spent yesterday talking to my brother about animal crossing journals... so I made printables this morning. I really can’t stop thinking about new horizons I don’t even usually keep journals!

Feel free to print these out if you like them! And cover or cut out the sloppy parts (my handwriting is a mess)

Don’t feel pressured to plan your island if you don’t want to! Planning it is fun for me personally even though I know it won’t end up exactly like how I planned

cedarsprout’s guide to editing photos

yay. since i’m getting a lot of asks about how i edit photos i thought i’d do a little tutorial thing. 

i’m gonna be using this screenshot:

i know a lot of people use miiverse to take screenshots but that process is too long for me and i’m lazy so i just say whatever and use the L & R buttons on my DS and inject the SD card into my laptop. tbh i could never tell a difference anyways.

the first thing i do is go to waifu2x and enlarge & reduce the noise with the settings for noise reduction on high and upscaling on 1.6x. you can do upscaling to 2x, personally i feel like it’s easier to point out mistakes on a bigger picture so i stick with 1.6. though 2x is good if you wanna close crop the photo.

after that you press submit and it’ll open up in another tab with your edited photo. instead of saving it i drag it straight into photoshop from the browser window. so now i’ve got a screen that looks like this, and a slightly lumpy enlarged screenshot.

now it’s time for more noise reduction! waifu2x does a good job smoothing things out but it leaves it really lumpy so to counteract that i reduce the noise even more in photoshop to make it not look so awkward.

those are the general settings i use for noise reduction. depending on the screenshot i’ll adjust them until i think that it gets rid of any weird imperfections without losing detail.

after that i use these super cool adjustments on the side to get the desired color editing that i want done:

image

the ones i use most are brightness/contrast, curves, exposure, and photo filter to add an orangey tint. finally i add a grain filter to give the screenshot a lil more texture. so that is under the filter tab, to filter gallery. i believe grain is under the texture category all the way at the bottom. and these are the settings i use:

yay after that i have a rly cute screenshot. now you save it (i use png file format) and upload <3

after:

This is really useful ! Thank you.

When I came back to reboot the blog for ACNH, this was the last post I had on the blog before I first left. I know everyone will be taking pictures and sharing them (like me!) I wanted to bring this guide (from cedarsprout) back because I thought it’d be super helpful to the community because we’re all going to want to see everyone’s amazing islands come to life.

100% TRUE

Pro tip: If you copy and paste a link that said “no free articles” into a private/incognito browser, it will let you read the whole thing.

also if u press the “esc” (escape) key on ur laptop before the page fully loads, it won’t load any pop-ups blocking u from reading. if the article has images, then this method sometimes does not u see them. but! the words will be fine :)

Animal Crossing dialogue font

For a while now, the Humming font has been extremely difficult to get a hold of, kind of why I ended up just making my own by combining images together, it works, but it’s not perfect..

However, after digging into the files for Amiibo Festival of all things, I managed to find a clean version of the humming font, already in .otf format!

Please enjoy, no credit is needed!

Animal Crossing Blank Amiibo Card

Here’s a blank Amiibo card I made for anyone that wants to use it! It’s quite high resolution (when you view it in full size), so hopefully will be high enough quality for you guys to use. It’s useful for custom villagers you may design, or even for making an Amiibo of your human characters by drawing them or cutting them out from screenshots!

Don’t worry about the “Animal Crossing QR Designs” on it, your villager will most likely cover it if it’s in the same proportions as a normal card. The only reason why it’s on there is that the background took a long time to make, so I didn’t want people redistributing the background on its own without credit.

If you use it to show off your custom designed villagers, feel free to tag me to show me! I’d absolutely love to see them!
