When you lead a company, you don’t have any days off. You eat, sleep and breathe your business, with life squeezed in edgeways, if you’re lucky. No matter how many trusted employees you may have, that need to be in control and on top of every crisis, however small, is inescapable.

But does that mean CEOs really have no life? I can vouch that’s not the case for the ones that I know personally. In fact, I’ve found that the folks in the C-Suite tend to be the sharpest guys in town, figuring out ways and means to achieve the proverbial work-life balance in style.

Know a CEO who needs some respite and a helping hand? Show them this list of apps that will give them the gift of time and smarts, both at the same time.

1. Manage ideas.

Most CEOs have a million-and-one things on their minds at any given point in time. So what do you do when you have that game-changing eureka moment in the middle of an important meeting? Note it down for posterity on Evernote, of course.

Not only can you store your ideas in the form of notes or save an interesting clipping from the Internet inside Evernote, you can also share it easily with coworkers via email or social media. The built in chat option allows quick discussions on items shared on the go. The premium version of Evernote offers a host of exciting features like turning notes, scribbles and clippings into presentations in one step. It even allows you to scan business cards and add them to your contacts automatically.

2. Manage information.

If there ever was a threat to Flipboard and its roaring popularity, it’s Inside. Inside is a news aggregator app with a difference. Instead of bringing you hundreds of articles arranged by interests, Inside brings you the top news stories in short 200 word snippets.

No one has the time to read through a 2000 word article only to find that it was utterly useless. Inside first shows you the top 50 stories of the hour in snippet style, in a single feed. Besides the main feed, users can customize their feeds with topics they care about. They can read a story in depth by swiping left on the snippet. Like most other news apps you can share news items, comment on them and upvote them to propel them into the top 50 list.
