New Android Apps and Games: The Best of January

Github

GitHub is one of the world's largest collaborative IT development services. It is known not only to programmers, but also to ordinary users - many applications are downloaded from there. GitHub has a mobile client in beta. But it already allows you to follow your projects directly from your smartphone, leave comments and edits, and discuss work with colleagues.

Microsoft Edge

Microsoft's completely redesigned browser is finally out of beta testing and has many new users. There is synchronization with desktop Edge (though not always working), InPrivate mode, an ad blocker and a new navigation bar.

Byte

Newfound TikTok killerthat allows you to publish short six-second videos. It plans to create an affiliate program to support content authors so that users can make money on their videos. Despite the fact that the application has appeared recently, it already has sorting of videos by sections, a convenient search, likes, comments and other necessary functions.

Envelope

application from Google to help you cope with your mobile gadget addiction. Install it, launch it, and then tuck your smartphone into a special envelope (this leaves only access to calls and the camera). No social media or games. So far, the app is only supported by the Pixel 3A smartphone, but Google has released the source code on GitHub, so there will probably be versions adapted for other devices in the future.

In addition to Envelope, the company has created a couple more programs to control smartphone addiction. These are Activity Bubble and Screen Stopwatch. They show how often you use the gadget so that you know when to stop.

My limit

This application will help you control the amount of alcohol consumed. You enter what you drink and how much, and My Limit shows your blood alcohol level and warns when it reaches a dangerous level. A useful thing: even though the New Year's holidays are over, we are still surrounded by many temptations.

Nude

This program can automatically find in the memory of your smartphone photos and videos in which naked people are present. You can hide them by placing them in a PIN-protected vault, or delete them. This way, you can be sure that your NSFW photos will not be seen by friends when they ask you to use your smartphone.

Barre

Application for those who are studying yoga or ballet. Contains tons of exercises and is completely free. Can not only control your workout, but also motivate with good music. Syncs with Google Fit. The only drawback is the absence of the Russian language, but at the same time, the application interface is still quite easy to understand.

gesturePlus

Owners of smartphones with Android 10, who think that the system navigation bar should be more functional, can install gesturePlus. This app will add support for gestures. There are over 35 actions in total. You can, for example, take a screenshot or turn on the flashlight with a short tap on the panel, turn on Google Assistant with a long press, and open the camera with a triple tap.

War tortoise 2

These your tanks and helicopters are yesterday, now everyone is fighting on huge turtles (apparently, genetically modified). Place as many guns on the reptile as possible, add armor to the natural shell and go into battle. The turtles are accompanied by an appropriate crew - squirrel snipers, gunner hamsters and other war jerboas. Have you already imagined the degree of madness?

Vodobanka

If you think that the work of spetsnaz is continuous firefights, chases and hand-to-hand combat, then you are wrong. The key to survival is proper positioning on the battlefield. Vodobanka is a very funny tactical puzzle game in which you can control a squad of special forces. You have to destroy enemies, storm buildings and free hostages.
