We are living in a world where small boxes in our pockets can find us dates, call us deliver our groceries, and also control our T.V.'s. These are crazy and amazing times we're living in, fellas. All of us know about the Twitters, Spotifys, and Ubers of the Earth, but what about these lesser-known gems? What about the more recent programs that have made quite massive waves from the very small ponds they are in--the programs we did not know we could not live without? Here are the best programs/apps you have never heard of.

Skiplagged

There are loads of travel programs out there that'll help you plan your trip itinerary, book your flights, find you a hotel, etc.. However, where Skiplagged is different (and totally amazing) is that it searches a little-known area of reservations called "Hidden City" flights. Basically, these are flights which may be reserved more inexpensively than normal since they happen as layovers to other destinations. It is a complex process, but essentially, Skiplagged sifts through all the possible combinations so as to get customers the cheapest flights possible. Apple | Android

Here's a hypothetical: You are in the movie theater and did not lock your door but you do have a sleek doorbell camera to watch who comes and goes so you forget your worries and plan on getting the big Coke with the big popcorn, but it was actually just a buck more than the regular, so you're like, "WOW, WHAT A BARGAIN!" Before the previews are over, you have already downed half the pop. Now you are filled to bursting with high fructose corn syrup water, and the picture's about to begin. You require a bathroom break, but you do not want to miss any of this action. What is a man to do? BOOM. RunPee.

You will never miss an important spectacle . It is essentially the program since Tinder. Android

Cool Substance's "Creepiest But Also Pretty Cool App of the Year" winner, Wakie is basically a wakeup call support. You decide on a time to be given a call, go to bed, and allow the program do its thing. But here is the weird part: When you reach your "wakeup time," a random stranger calls you and speaks to you till you are ready to begin your day. Is it a Lithuanian school teacher working on her English? Will it be a new york garbage man on his lunch break? Possibly a prostitute that is Danish? You'll just need to download the program and find out for yourself. Android
