most of these apps should be available on ios, android, and on the computer. some of these apps might cost money on some phone operating systems, though.
productivity, school & focus:
forest - super cute app that plants trees in your forest. it makes sure you don’t use your phone while doing your work.
todoist - my FAVORITE to do list app by far! the design is so beautiful + simple, and it detects due dates really easily as you type them in. you also get karma by completing/creating tasks which helps motivate you to do more.
dropbox - the best app to store all of your files, you can access your files through any of your devices
google calendar - self-explanatory, but it’s just a calendar to keep track of upcoming events
inbox / gmail - this is another self-explanatory app, but it’s just your e-mail to get emails from school or personal ones. inbox is a more simplistic version of gmail that i love to use, it has to-do lists/reminders and more!
drive / docs / all of the google apps! - another great way to store files for school or personal stuff!
clearfocus (android) - a pomodoro timer!
camscanner - you can take pictures and turn them into pdfs

afterlight - this is a pretty good app to edit your photos with! it has many filter options and i love the light leaks & dust effects
clue - the best period tracking app that i’ve ever used. it tracks more than just your cycle like your sleep/skin/well-being, etc! it is also very beautifully designed!
runtastic - if i ever bring my phone while i run, i like to use this app to track how much/long i’m running (for).
sleepyti.me (apple/android) - this is a great app to help you wake up at a certain time. it is based off of sleep cycles, so you don’t feel tired when you wake up.
stop, breathe & think (apple/android) - i love using this on the computer & my phone when i’m stressed. it is a free meditation app that helps me relax and think
headspace - another meditation app but after a few sessions you have to pay

spotify - my personal favorite music app! you can discover new artists, follow your friends, and create your own playlists

fliqlo - flip clock screensaver that basically everyone in the studyblr community has
grammarly - it’s an app where it corrects your spelling and grammar whever you go on the web :)
neko atsume (android / ios) - a really cute game where you collect cats by feeding them and filling your yard with toys! the best part is that they come to your yard when the app is suspended/you’re not using it.
pakka pets - a cute game but requires a bit more attention. it is basically tamagotchi/animal crossing/pokemon in one! the graphics are so cute :)
little alchemy - you just combine a lot of elements to make things
