Los Angeles, May 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Calgo, a forward-thinking technology startup, has officially launched its flagship mobile application, now available for download on both Android and iOS platforms. The app is designed to tap into unused processing capacity from smartphones, while plugged in and idle, to support low-impact, energy-conscious computing initiatives.
In an era where sustainability and efficiency are at the forefront of tech innovation, Calgo offers a novel solution that leverages the latent potential of devices already in users' hands. Instead of relying solely on high-energy infrastructure like data centers, the Calgo platform introduces a new way for users to support future-focused computing without disrupting their daily phone usage.
Turning Everyday Devices Into Purpose-Driven Tools
'Our mission is to unlock the untapped power of mobile devices and channel it toward meaningful, responsible applications,' said a Calgo spokesperson. 'With over 6 billion smartphones in use worldwide, we see an opportunity to create a smarter, more sustainable digital environment by connecting people through technology they already own.'
Once installed and running in the background, the Calgo app operates only under optimal conditions, such as when the device is plugged in and not in active use. This ensures the app doesn't interfere with the user's regular phone activity or battery life.
Early Access Program Now Open
To celebrate the launch, Calgo has introduced a limited-time Early Access Program. New users who join during this phase will receive enhanced performance settings, exclusive in-app features, and priority access to upcoming updates.
This initiative is designed to gather early feedback, reward early adopters, and further refine the platform's impact potential.
Practical Use Cases and Future Development
While the current app focuses on low-power background activity, Calgo's future roadmap includes:
Tools for individual users to track their performance contribution and usage stats
Optional features for participating in digital efficiency programs
Secure participation in low-resource data handling tasks
A rewards system for long-term contributors
Collaboration with sustainability-focused initiatives and nonprofits
The long-term vision for Calgo includes building an ecosystem where mobile users can passively contribute to global digital efficiency efforts while maintaining full control and transparency.
Available for Download Now
The Calgo app is now live and available here:
Android: Google Play Store
iOS: App Store
Users are encouraged to explore the app, take advantage of the Early Access Program, and help shape the next generation of sustainable mobile computing.Media Contact:Calgo Support Teamsupport@calgo.io https://calgo.io

Are you booking or designing travel?
Richard Turen Looking back, I know that I would never have opened up a travel consultancy had I not worked the supplier side for quite a while. And I certainly would not dare write about our industry had I not walked both sides of the street. They are very different, even though they might be in the same neighborhood. I worked for one of the largest cruise lines, starting out on the West Coast. I visited travel agencies four days a week. I was a director of sales, and my job was to drum up business. But my reality was that our ships were starring in a little TV series called "The Love Boat" then, and they were sold out much of the time. I might have been a lousy salesperson, but no one knew it, and I was promoted to be vice president of the East Coast and the Midwest. Now I was responsible for 26 states; lots of agencies to visit. So starting on the West Coast and then taking on the East Coast and the Midwest, I was in and out of more agencies than I could count. During every visit, I was looking forward to discovering dozens of new business models. It would all be so stimulating. But it usually wasn't! There were precious few unique business models, and innovation was rare. Everything was sold on some sort of airline-owned CRM system. Airline sales made up just over 70% of a typical agency's sales. It was always the same scene. Two chairs in front of a desk with the client facing the back of the computer. And so it was for about four decades. Technology improved, and we noticed our clients searching online instead of seeking out a storefront. We were no longer booking robots; that could be done online. We started evolving into advisors. ASTA, an organization I feel has always had the collective backs of the membership it represents, caught on and went so far as to change its organization's name, with that last "A" now standing for "advisors" rather than "agents." We are now advisors -- sort of important to the families we serve. I see us as financial advisors, except our role is less about showing our clients how to grow their money and more about advising them on ways to dispense with some of it. Which leads me to an April article by Julie Bogen in the Washington Post. She explores the growth of the trend for agents to describe themselves as online travel "designers" who concentrate on creating truly personalized itineraries, travel troubleshooting and providing luxury perks. The article explains how contemporary consumers want to hire a "designer" instead of an "agent." The concept of a travel "agent" is now dated. Several successful designers are profiled in the piece, including one who created an itinerary with perks she felt would meet the needs of four prominent influencers. Sure enough, they liked the presentation, and it started being circulated on Instagram. Of course, a true travel designer has to be an FIT specialist, and some of you will surely feel that FITs are unusually time-consuming and less profitable than booking brochure programs. A travel office where every journey is custom-designed to meet the guest's profile may be fashionable, trendy, hip and always personalized, but I can't help but wonder what a travel design firm would need to charge guests in order to be profitable. I actually like the "designer" designation. I also like "travel architect" and "dream creator." It is possible that, at our best, we listen and then design what is best suited for the client instead of trying to sell them a program without taking into account their unique profile. But will we have to start spending more on our business attire if we start describing ourselves as designers? Will we need to be a bit more flamboyant? If we "flamboyantize" our industry in the months to come, I'm just not sure that my blue blazer will survive.
