There’s a lot of people that are in Spring Cleaning mode and organizing their house, but what about their digital life?
There are a ton of great apps out there available for Windows 8 that will help get you organized – from the family calendar to your monthly budget!
to-dos
This free app is definitely a must! I’m constantly writing notes on my phone or post-it notes. I’m constantly on my computer since I work from home and the to-dos app is right on your Start screen reminding you of all you need to do!
All About Money
With the All About Money app, you can see exactly where your money comes from and where it goes. It will track all of your expenses, savings and income. You can even break it down by category or tags to see exactly what you’re spending in certain places. I recently started using this free app to track my earnings from my blog and I love it!
NVIN: Home Inventory
This is one app that I NEED to download and get started on. The Home Inventory app lets you create an inventory of everything in your house of value in case of a break-in, fire or storm. You can take a picture of each item, sort them into different categories and add the value. It even automatically generates an email for you to send to your insurance adjuster or have on hand.
housekeeping
If you’re looking for tips to organize your house and even your garden, download the housekeeping app! This free app is full of great tips!
AboutOne Family Organizer
As a work at home mom to newborn twins and a preschooler, I need to get organized and I need to make sure I’m communicating everything with my husband too. The AboutOne Family Organizer app is only $1.49 and helps you keep track of everything from your to-do list to photos, documents and more!

We just got Windows 8. I’m excited to try some of these apps out.
Sound like great apps! Especially the home inventory. I really need to do that. They just need to have one that also helps me keep an inventory of my freezers and pantry. 🙂
I am old school. Pen and paper! Windows 8 scares me! lol!! i’ll have to try it sometime
I think I’d rather organize my digital life and hire someone to spring clean the house.
I need to get this so I can organize my life. I am still trying to sort out my budget and work out a savings plan for the summer vacation. Thanks for sharing this 🙂
I use all things google to organize…google docs, google calendar. It just helps keep me in check and also share things with my hubby.
I’m all about lists and if I’m at home, I use my paper planner but away from home, I use apps!
These look like great apps. I’m still fairly new to Windows 8 and love finding new apps, I’ll have to check them out.
I haven’t been using a lot of apps on my Windows 8 machine, but the Family Organizer app looks perfect for us! Thanks for sharing!
I love hearing about Windows 8 apps! I use AboutOne on my iphone so I love reading about other folks enjoying it.
I have NEVER really organized my digital life :(. I need a lot of help in this area, even the list of apps gave me helpful tips!
I need to organize my digital life. Right now it is scattered everywhere! This app list will be helpful when I finally sit down and get it together!
Having been burglarized I can say that having a home inventory app is so important. We have windows 8 on our desktop and I’m going to see about downloading this.
I am loving my Windows 8 computer – thanks for sharing great apps!
I was a bit confused on how to use Windows 8 but in the long run and I learned to love it. Thanks for recommending these apps. Will definitely try them. (:
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on stress management
