😸 Track Elon's satellites

good morning, afternoon, and evening world-changers and welcome back to the Leaderboard. In today's digest, we're taking a look at a flight radar but for space, a notes-app that's actually useful, and a podcast tool that requires no podcasting.

RealmTrack is a real-time space traffic monitoring tool that tracks 25,000+ satellites and space debris with high-precision 3D visualizations. Whether you’re in aerospace, research, or just fascinated by what’s floating above us, it gives a clear, live view of orbital movements.

🔥 Our take: For something we rely on every day—GPS, communications, weather tracking—Earth’s orbit is a lawless mess. Thousands of satellites, tons of debris, and no traffic lights. RealmTrack lets you actually see who’s up there, what’s moving where, and how close we are to turning orbit into a demolition derby. If space really is the final frontier, it’s looking a lot like rush hour.

Twos PALs is an AI-powered note-taking tool that actually does something with what you write. It detects tasks, pulls in product links, grabs locations, and even reminds you about things before you forget them. Less clutter, less digging, more getting things done.

🔥 Our take: Most people don’t have a note-taking problem, they have a finding what they wrote down problem. You jot down ideas, random links, things to remember—then never see them again. Twos PALs tries to fix that by organizing your chaos for you, without making a big deal about it. If you’ve ever found an old note and had no idea why you wrote it, this might save you from yourself.

Jellypod 2.0 is an AI-powered podcast studio that lets you create fully customized, visual podcasts in minutes. It handles voices, guest cloning, audiograms, cover art, and distribution across Spotify, YouTube, and more—all from your phone, no mic required.

🔥 Our take: Everyone has thought about starting a podcast. Few actually do—because editing is a nightmare, finding guests is a hassle, and no one wants to hear themselves talk. Jellypod removes the usual excuses. AI can now generate voices, visuals, and even fake guests, which means the only thing stopping you is figuring out what to say.

Most apps give you a blank page and expect you to do something with it. The best ones don’t wait. They pull you in, mess with your brain, and make you create whether you planned to or not.

That’s what Jake Crump asked. What apps actually push you to create? Turns out, the best ones all use a little trickery.

Some turn it into a game. Hipstamatic throws out challenges, stamps, and golden hour prompts so taking photos feels like collecting loot instead of just snapping random shots.

Some remove every excuse. Obsidian makes note-taking effortless. AgBr makes film photography fun instead of a technical headache. The easier it is, the more likely you are to keep going.

And then there’s AI, which taps into pure curiosity. MidJourney and DALL·E have people throwing in ideas just to see what happens. Suddenly you’ve lost three hours making surreal cat art.

So what actually gets people to create? Maybe it’s the right challenge. Maybe it’s killing friction. Or maybe the best creative apps just don’t give you a choice.
