There’s the belief that gadgets prevent a person from being productive and keeping a grip on reality. However, in the year 2022 it’s impossible to deny that a smart phone can not only be a method for watching Netflix or playing NZ slots online but also a way to improve your quality of life, especially if you find specific apps that can help you improve your health and increase your knowledge. Here’s a selection of just such apps!
Dailyart
If you’ve been wanting to start getting into art but keep putting it off, Dailyart will help you finally get into painting. The concept of the app is simple – once a day you’ll receive an image of a classical, modernist or contemporary piece of art, and beneath it you’ll be given a short summary about the picture.
The app’s gallery contains more than 3,000 masterpieces of world classics, biographies of 780 artists and information about 500 museum collections. All you need is 2 minutes a day! Imagine how much more you’ll learn about art if you check out Dailyart every day.
Daylio
This app is recommended by many psychologists because with it you can track your mood, and thus you’ll become more conscious about and gain a better understanding of your feelings.
Daylio is a mood diary where you can not only check how you’re feeling during the day with different types of emojis, but also keep track of what activities you do, and most importantly, how they affect you. For each marked emotion for the day, you can write a short note, so you won’t forget what the sadness or joy was about. Moreover, after a while you’ll see how your mood has changed over time in the form of a graph.
Plantie
Plantie is a great free alternative to Forest. With this app, you can improve your concentration and stay focused on your tasks.
If you need to do something continuously and stay as involved as possible, just set a timer and start growing your favourite fruit. If you close the app or switch from one thing to another, the fruit dies. This format can help to ward off the obsessive desire to read what news has broken or checking to see what photos your friends have posted on social media.
Tappsk
You can become overwhelmed when trying to find a good ‘to-do’ planning app. There are so many of them on the market that it’s impossible to find the most useful and convenient one. Relax and try Tappsk.
The interface of this app is attractive and intuitive, but the most important advantage of Tappsk is its combination of a planner, a habit tracker, a calendar and a reminder function. It really helps you to concentrate, and not have to switch between apps that only cater for one thing. Another benefit of Tappsk is the ability to create subtasks.
Insight Timer
If you’ve been under a lot of stress lately, not getting enough sleep or generally have a lot of thoughts running around in your head, you need to try meditating. Insight Timer is the best meditation app out there.
It includes a huge number of free meditation guides that are recorded by world experts in mindfulness practices, neurobiology, psychology and meditation teachers from Stanford, Harvard and Oxford. You’ll be able to find a meditation for any occasion, because the Insight Timer media library already has over 100 of them, and it’s constantly added to. There’s also a large selection of mantras and soothing music.
