This covers categories including Blogging, Business, Commerce, Fitness and Wearables, Connected Home, Lifestyle, Mobile, Music, News and Sports, Photo and Video, Productivity, and Social Networking. Flock has also published some recipes which would help users integrate apps into Flock. These include recipes for Twitter, Gmail, Instagram, GitHub, Flickr, Foursquare, NASA, Google Calendar, Medium, ESPN, Reddit, Trello, Dropbox, Location, and Weather. Flock, via its App store, allows integrations with external work apps and services apps such as Trello, Github, Twitter, Jira, Bitbucket.
