Screenable turns any iPhone or iPad into a starter phone that removes distractions, keeps you in the loop, and grows with your kid. Built for busy, modern parents.
In the more than 30 years they’ve been around, parental controls have been blocking kids from doing things in apps and on devices. But they’re not working anymore – for parents or kids. And that’s a problem.
Screenable Features
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday authorized the Hearing Aid Feature, its first over-the-counter hearing aid software device that is intended to be used with the Apple AirPods Pro.
Why it matters: A hearing aid that’s built into a relatively inexpensive and easily accessible product that many people already own could help far more people get the hearing help they need.
How it works: The Hearing Aid Feature is set up using an iOS device, such as the iPhone, and the user’s hearing levels are accessed from the iOS HealthKit to customize it. Users can refine the volume, tone and balance settings after setting up the feature.
How An Apple Watch Saved One Man’s Life
Rich DeMuro talks to Montecito resident Peter Moore, who says a low heart rate notification on his Apple Watch helped save his life.
I commonly recommend the Apple Watch, mostly for cardiac monitoring and for patients at risk of falling. Great for monitoring steps and physical activity too.
“Doctors are using the Apple Watch as part of how they diagnose and help their patients manage disease—whether or not it’s been specifically approved for such applications by the Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory bodies.
My own mother, who has a history of atrial fibrillation, a heart-rhythm disorder, is one such patient. The Apple Watch SE she bought on her doctor’s advice has been, by her account, a lifesaving intervention. It allows her to send data gathered by her watch directly to her doctor, as part of the continuing management of her lifestyle and medication.”
TL: DR My two favorites: Autosleep on iPhone and Sleep as Android
In today’s fast-paced world, getting a good night’s sleep is more important than ever. To help you monitor and improve your sleep patterns, there are numerous sleep tracker apps available. My recommendations are Autosleep for iPhone and Sleep as Android. In this blog post, we’ll compare these two sleep tracker apps, highlighting their features, user interfaces, and overall performance to help you make an informed choice for tracking your sleep.
Autosleep
Autosleep is a dedicated sleep tracking app exclusively available for iOS devices. Developed by Tantsissa, it offers a user-friendly interface and a robust set of features tailored for iPhone and Apple Watch users.

Sleep as Android
Sleep as Android is a versatile sleep tracking app available for Android devices. Developed by Urbandroid, it offers a wide range of features and is known for its extensive customization options.:

Summary
Both Apps are excellent sleep trackers. Autosleep happily does not require a subscription and only costs $5.99, a worthwhile investment. Autosleep works much better if you have an Apple Watch. Sleep for Android requires a subscription or initial $40 one time payment and also works much better if you have a wearable device.

“In honor of International Day of Persons with Disabilities on December 3, Apple released a short film, The Lost Voice, directed by Oscar-winning Taika Waititi to shed light on the true value of this technology. The story depicts a sentimental bedtime tale about a little girl searching for her missing voice. Warning: Make sure to grab some tissues before watching!”
