Link Bubble
Managing different links across several apps on a mobile is quite a challenge. Imagine the amount of seconds to minutes wasted for opening a link and then adding it to a bookmark. Link Bubble solves all your worries in the background leaving you a floating disc on the user interface to tap on. Once the Link Bubble is set up, all you have to do is click on the link to load it in the background and continue using whatever app you were enjoying.
The same link gets loaded in the background which can be accessed and even shared/saved to Pocket account. A must have application for avid mobile web surfers and users on Social Networks.
TypeMachine
Several times we lose out on text, notes and email due to app crash or sudden reboot of the device. TypeMachine is like that auto-saving robot that saves all the text you type automatically and seamlessly. You can save all your drafts, notes and SMS in TypeMachine without worrying about losing them forever. Also, there is a capability to blacklist apps so that TypeMachine does not pick text from them. While it runs in background quietly, the app also offers PIN locks required to access the history. For the word-play lovers, the TypeMachine will never let you lose any typed word again.
This app is the only exception in this list costing Rs 129.
