Want to make it easier to travel, lock your doors and remember to do small tasks?

Find out how with this roundup of the latest in technology for busy advisors:

Travel buddy

Keep all your travel plans in one place with the help of TripIt, an app that streamlines itineraries for easy on-the-go access. Once you’ve booked your travel plans, simply forward flights, car rentals and hotel reservations to the app (or auto-sync through certain email providers). The app then creates a master itinerary that can be shared via text, email or social media with contacts of your choosing. It even integrates driving directions, weather and maps for travel prep that really is next level. Or opt for TripIt Pro, which offers additional features like real-time flight alerts, or TripIt for Teams, which simplifies travel planning for groups of all sizes. Free to $160 per month for 100 users, tripit.com.

Lock it up

Keys are officially a thing of the past. Or at least they will be, once August Smart Locks take the world by storm. This keyless entry uses your phone to auto-unlock your door as you approach and auto-lock when you leave, and it even allows for remote control of your lock when you’re not at home. You can also grant keyless entry to friends, family and household help without having to worry about duplicating keys. Plus, August is compatible with Siri, Alexa and Google Home, so your house can be smarter than ever — and you’ll have one less thing to remember when you leave home. $280, august.com.

One and done

The number of things that need to be done every day means it can be easy to forget at least one of them. Not with It’s Done, a smartphone app that helps you confirm whether you’ve completed a routine task like taking your medication or turning off the stove. The app lets you save everyday jobs and check them off as you complete them, providing an audible reminder that boosts your confidence. And unlike other calendar and task apps, It’s Done focuses on task completion rather than reminders. $3, itsdoneapp.com.
