Work Smarter With These capSpire Tech Tricks

You can classify most of our “capSpirians” as tech junkies.  We sure love our gadgets, apps, and technology toys! Here’s a fresh batch of capSpire-approved tech tricks to help you save time and effort at home, in the office, and everywhere in between.

1.  Nest Learning Thermostat

Saving energy is a beautiful thing — and a smart move in the office. This energy-saving gadget can learn your company’s heating and cooling patterns and adjusts itself accordingly. Adjustments can even be made to temperature readings via a smartphone app. ($249 at nest.com)

2. Mophie Space Pack Battery/Memory Case for iPhone 5s

What’s your number one complaint about your iPhone 5s? I bet its battery life. Not only does the Mophie battery case double your phone’s battery life – it also serves as local storage. ($149.95 for 16GB, 179.95 for 32GB, mophie.com)

3. Addappt

The best way to lose touch with your business contacts is to not keep up with changes to their email addresses or cell phone numbers. Addappt solves that common business problem by making your plain, old address book into a “living address book”. Contacts are able to update their own email address and cell phone number changes straight to your mobile device’s native contact list. (Addappt via iTunes)

Meeting running long while you’re away on business? Available in cities across the US (including Fayetteville, Arkansas!) PayByPhone alerts you when your parking meter is about to run out, lets you pay through your phone, and emails you the receipt.  (Paybyphone.com)
