We all know that iPad apps can be a major distraction. But, believe it or not, there are thousands of apps that will help, not hinder your productivity. So we’ve undertaken the mammoth task of sifting through Apple’s catalogue of apps to bring you our top five applications for the web design and development niche that inspire, boost productivity and organise ideas. These apps are guaranteed to help you get the job done.

iMockups

The must-have mobile wireframing and mockupp app for your web, iPhone and iPad projects. Draft wireframes in one easy-to-use interface with intuitive functionality and a multitude of colour options, text styles, borders and backgrounds. Better still, iMockup allows you to export your work via email.

Adobe Ideas 1.0

This app will become your digital sketchbook, allowing you to capture and explore your inspiration on the go with vector-based drawing tools, zoom control, brushes and layers. The ideal companion for the Adobe desktop suite, the app allows you to save your files as PDF, vector or raster file formats to edit in Illustrator or Photoshop later.

Air Display

Wish your screen was just a smidgen larger? Rather than investing in a new monitor, simply use your iPad as a wireless display for your Mac OS X computer. The app allows you to situate your iPad next to your computer screen and drag windows onto it, as you would with a secondary monitor.

Gusto

Gusto is a full-featured and usable web development application, combining code editing and FTP access. You can design, create and publish your entire website within the app, or connect to your server and use Gusto to download files, edit or preview pages on the go.

Ego

Suitably named, Ego compiles all of your statistics in one place, including the number of visits to your website, feed subscription totals, Twitter followers and more. Completely customisable, supported services include Feedburner, Ember, Google Analytics, Mint2, Squarespace, Tumblr, Twitter and Vimeo.
