iPhone Sleep Tracking with Nights
Nights records how many hours you sleep each night.
Your sleep log is displayed on a simple scrolling timeline making it easy to see how much sleep you’ve been getting.

Firefox to Safari History Converter
History Converter lets you import your entire Firefox 3 history into Safari 4 on Mac OS X.
Firefox stores history in a file called places.sqlite, located in your Firefox profile directory. This file is a SQLite database which cannot be directly imported into Safari.
History Converter queries the Firefox database for history, including the view count, date, url and title of site. The history is exported from Firefox 3, converted and automatically imported into Safari 4.
Cycles Period Tracking for iPhone
The first COHAUS iPhone application has been been approved by Apple and is available in the App Store now. Cycles is a period and fertility tracking app for the iPhone and iPod Touch with design and ease-of-use at it’s heart.
There are other menstrual cycle / fertility applications for iPhone, but they do not appear to have any usability or design consideration thought about while being made. Many seem to have gone the route of making all parts of the application very pink and very girly. Cycles is aimed at a more mature user that wants a discrete, easy to use application that works with their monthly cycle.
Cycles Awaiting Approval
After a busy last week I’m happy to say the first COHAUS application ‘Cycles’ has been submitted to the App Store and is awaiting approval. Cycles is a period & fertility tracking application with design and ease-of-use at it’s heart. The total project duration was 4 weeks exactly. I’m now focussing on getting the web side of things in place with screenshots, feature descriptions and possibly a video demo.
