How to Clone an App on Android — and Why You Might Want To

Sometimes it's handy — or even necessary — to have two versions of the same app on your phone. For example, maybe you want to use Telegram with two different phone numbers, run both work and personal Instagram accounts at once, or play a game from multiple profiles. While some apps offer account switching, it’s not always convenient — especially if you need to do it often. That’s where cloning comes in. It lets you create a second, independent copy of an app. It runs separately, with its own settings, notifications, and data. This can be useful for keeping work and personal stuff separate, or for gaming tricks and multitasking. Here’s how you can do it.

When it comes to note-taking apps, most people immediately think of familiar names — Google Keep, Evernote, Notion, OneNote. Some prefer Simplenote — a simpler, lighter option. These apps work just fine, but there's an important catch. And for many, it’s a matter of principle.
The issue is that in most mainstream apps, your notes aren’t stored with you. They live on someone else's servers, often in formats that aren’t easy to export. What if one day the service raises prices, limits the free version, or shuts down altogether? You’d be forced to quickly evacuate your digital memory — and chances are, you’ll lose something in the process.

And then there's privacy. Even if you don’t have anything “sensitive” in your notes, the idea that someone else could access them just doesn’t sit right with many people.

The good news? There are alternatives. These are apps that store notes right on your device. No sign-ups, no clouds, no unnecessary fuss. Here's a selection of such apps — simple, handy, and respectful of your personal space.

How to Install Windows 11 on an Old or Unsupported PC

Yes, Microsoft raised the hardware requirements for Windows 11, but that doesn’t mean you can’t install it on your old computer. Luckily, there’s a simple way to bypass these restrictions. Disclaimer: Microsoft does not officially recommend doing this. They don’t guarantee stable performance, and you might run into update issues. However, if you’re aware of the risks and still want to try—here’s how to do it.

Sometimes a single server can no longer handle the growing number of requests — the website starts slowing down, and users begin to complain. That’s when it’s time to think about scaling. The most logical step is to add more servers and distribute the traffic between them. This process is called load balancing. In this guide, you’ll learn how to set up load balancing with Nginx quickly and easily.

How to run the script to install MadeSimple

If you’ve already upgraded to Windows 11, you’ve probably noticed that the Start menu and all taskbar icons are now placed right in the center. Microsoft says this should make it easier and faster to reach your apps. But let’s be honest — not everyone loves this change. Many of us are used to seeing the Start button tucked away in the bottom-left corner, just like in all previous versions of Windows. Your hand instinctively goes there, and suddenly — surprise! — it’s in the middle. Feels a bit awkward, right? The good news is, it takes just a couple of minutes to move everything back.
