This week we find a nanny for our kinds, read Twitter on our Apple Watches, restore animations to our Live Photos, and more.
Enliven: Re-Live Your Photos
Enliven, from the developer of the amazing AudioBus, does one simple but essential thing. It restores Live Photos animations to images that you edited in other apps.
If you edit a Live Photo using the built-in editing tools, then the animation remains intact. However, if you use something like Snapseed or Focos to make an edit, the original animation gets overwritten in your Photos library. Enliven adds back that animation. This is especially good in iOS 13, where Live Photos animate automatically when browsing your photos.
Price: Free with in-app unlock

Chirp for Twitter
Chirp is a full-featured Twitter app — for the Apple Watch. You can do pretty much anything you can do in an iPhone app, only on your wrist (on a display too small to see all those cat GIFs and baby-goats-in-pajamas videos). It does DMs and replies, but it also supports lists, videos and even search. The only problem might be holding your wrist up long enough to check all your replies.
