I'm currently working on an iOS app to address this issue exactly. There's still plenty of improvements I want to make but this is the app so far:

Basically I wanted an app that let me quickly add and organize items into different time periods.

I've also recently started using Sketch as an Illustrator replacement (for basic icon/design work, I'm not a professional graphic designer). I've really enjoyed using it so far.

I have the Sharp 4K monitor that Apple sells in its stores and it's incredible. I run it at retina resolution at 60hz (now possible on Mac OS 10.9.3+) with a Mac Pro and it looks amazing.
Very pricey, but in my experience, worth every dollar.

That's fascinating. Kind of makes me want to practice lucid dreaming now. Makes a lot of sense though, with regards to how rested you felt after giving up lucid dreaming. Writing complex algorithms in your dreams does not sound restful.

That's exactly why I love this TED talk about the history of the universe in 18 minutes:
Understanding where we fit on the timeline of the universe is quite amazing.

"Most people I know use other, free apps to transfer files to/from the device and to listen/watch audio/video."
Perhaps, but I'm willing to bet Apple funnels a significant amount of music sales by having an easy, visible route to purchase legal music. It's not like anyone is forced to use the iTunes Music Store, but can you really expect them not to promote it in their OS?

I like Newsstand a lot too. Another really great example is Sound on Sound magazine (http://www.soundonsound.com/). It really captures what an iOS-magazine experience should look and feel like (dynamic content, interactive diagrams/pictures, easy navigation, etc).
I guess it would work just as well as a stand-alone app, but there's something nice about all my magazine content being located in a single location.

Just started playing with the beta and I have to agree, it is something you must experience to judge accurately. Using iOS 7 feels good. There will definitely be refinements to come, but I think it's a huge step in the right direction. The stock apps, especially the App Store app, feel much nicer to use.
Although I have to agree with the OP about the app icons. I just don't think they look that nice.

There are a bunch of interval training apps on the app store.
This is a good free one I use myself:
