Top 5 Free Apps Used by OSMedia for Business


There are many tools in the old toolbox that design firms, freelancers, and business owners, in general, use every day. Today the OSMedia team has made a list of the top 5 apps we use today to manage our time management and marketing and finances. So buckle your seatbelts.


1. Trello

Oh baby, this app has got bite. This project management app is packed full of goodies. It resembles the most organized sticky note system you’ve ever mustered. This app allows you to make multiple boards where you can save tasks in order of priority, add team members to collaborate with and upload documents directly to boards. Great for team-based project management. This app also has a mobile version, new desktop version and web version. Also, it’s free.



This invoicing software packs a punch across the board with mobile app version, and web version. And accompanying app for recording recipes for expense tracking purposes. Wave has mobile payment options as well. We use this app every day.


3. Buffer

Buffer is this great social media marketing app with scheduling capabilities. The free version supports 5 accounts which include all popular social media platforms. The reason we like this app is the cost of the Awesome version and its simplicity Awesome version allows 10 profiles and 100 scheduled posts a month, but you can go ahead and find what features work for you. It has a mobile app version, desktop version, and browser extension making it easier to share from your browser. Other programs like HootSuite, we feel, has a bigger purpose in that you can use it to advertise for other clients. But to market your own company we feel Buffer is the best.



As some of you might imagine, some of us around the office are big fans of Adobe CC. One of the reasons, Adobe Spark Post. This app allows you to make branded posts for many social media platforms with access to royalty free photo assets, auto-sizing for different platforms as well as some other helpful sizes. As well as cool filters like simple animations of photo filters. It’s packed with fonts and supports Live Photos. So many features. Give it a shot. Note: tap the #adobepost watermark to share and remove the watermark.


5. iCal

Now I know you guys are thinking boo! Well, stop. iCal is just our favourite. We’re apple everything up in here. That’s not to say we don’t use PC’s but only when we want to play games! iCal has particularly good compatibility and reliability. Its features are reliable and integrated seamlessly into MacOs and iOS platform devices. Without a doubt, this app is our friend. Is suppose in general we mean calendar apps as they really keep you in check. Not to mention you can add virtually any type of calendar to any kind of app today. But we choose iCal because of compatibility with the hardware we use.

Branding Your Restaurant

What is a brand and why do I need it in today’s market? Even though today the term branding is well known, there is still much confusion by many as to what branding means and how to achieve it. I want to talk about branding in restaurants specifically as it is such a competitive industry with companies thriving and failing each day. According to Toast Lab, there are over 600,000 restaurants in the U.S. not including fast food franchises. With them included the number spans past a million. This is without a doubt the only evidence a business owner needs to understand the importance of standing out and telling the world what’s unique about their company. Branding at a Glance When many think of branding the first conception is a logo. This, of course, is a component of a brand, however, it doesn’t even scratch the surface. Picture an iceberg, however massive it might be in your imagination, all you are seeing is the logo. The real magic takes place below the water. The mas
