Fountain, Jellypod AI, Amie, and other apps to check out this weekend

Apps of the week

There are only a few things certain in life: death, taxes, and an Apps of the Week roundup on the weekend! This week we have some great selections for you, including a podcast player with a social twist, an AI app that will read your emails to you, and a new calendar/task manager. And as always, we've selected a fun new game for you to check out.

The Eufy P2 Pro Wi-Fi smart scale is 50% off right now

Earlier this month, Amazon had this scale on sale for $45 as part of a Lightning deal, but today you can get it even cheaper. It's the Eufy P2 Pro smart scale, and it has Wi-Fi connectivity for automatic data syncing, it tracks 16 body measurements, it's compatible with Apple Health and other applications, and right now you can pick one (or several) up for just $41.

Get a 2-pack of 6.6ft braided 100W USB-C cables for just $5

This is just one of those deals that is nearly impossible to pass up: Amazon has a 2-pack of USB-C charging cables on sale at a ridiculously low price. The cables are six and a half feet long, so you can use your phone in bed while it charges, they are nylon braided for added durability, and they can fast-charge at up to 100W. Now they aren't great for data, and they don't support video, but honestly neither of these things are deal-breakers when you can get 2 of these cables for $5.

Act now and get $15 off Logitech’s MX Master 3S for Mac wireless mouse

I've been using a Logitech MX Master (2S) for years now, and I'm a huge fan. The ergonomics are perfect, the scrolling is smooth, the battery lasts forever, and of course the accuracy is always on point. The only real downside to the mouse is that it's expensive—it typically retails for $100. But today, you can grab the latest MX Master 3S for Mac at a solid 15% discount.

This ESR 10000mAh magnetic battery pack w/ kickstand is down to $34

esr iPhone magnetic magsafe battery pack cheap

As an iPhone user, I am always on the lookout for deals on MagSafe-friendly battery packs. These magnetic power banks can attach to the back of the iPhone, and wirelessly charge it, so you can continue to use the handset while it powers up. Typically, they only have about 5000mAh capacity, meaning you'll be lucky to get one full recharge out of them, but this one from ESR has double that, a built-in kickstand, and today it's down to an all-time low price.

This powerful 12-in-1 desktop docking station is $65 off right now

When you need more than a USB-C hub or dongle to add ports and functionality to your desktop setup, you get something like this: The Anker PowerExpand 12-in-1 docking station. It has an upright, standalone design for heat dissipation, tons of USB A and C ports, both Ethernet and HDMI ports, and right now we have a coupon code that knocks 55% off the price.

Memoru, HEY Calendar, Clear Lists 2, and other apps to check out this weekend
