Mouse App Turns Your iPhone Into A Genius Smart Mouse Solution
A mouse can be such a time saver when you're working on a laptop or a desktop computer, especially when it's a wireless mouse solution. The trackpad has come to be an annoyance in my work.

Proximity App Auto Locks Your MacBook When You Step Away From It
