This week’s Android apps are all about organisation and giving you the tools you need to find that inner peace we all so desperately crave. Whether it’s keeping you up to date on news or giving you a notification centre you’ve missed, we’ve got you covered.

Congress: Just as its name might suggest, Congress let’s you keep track of what’s going on with US Congress. You can contact legislators, read up all the legislation that will never ever see the light of day, and gives you background information from the non-partisan Sunlight Foundation. Of course for the app to actually be use, Congress is going to have to, you know, do something. [Free]
Pearltrees: Already existing in a web and iOS form, Pearltrees’ brand of “social curating” (I’m sorry) is finally making the jump to Android. Referring to itself as a social library, Pearltrees allows you to collect and organise all your various interests in a visually legible way. And now that Android users can hook it up to their handsets, the app will be able to pull from all your other apps, search and sharing throughout them as you so please. [Free]
