I used to get so overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information i had to remember for exams in school!!! Endless dates and names in history, formulas in maths, essay points for psychology, the list goes on! Here are the tips i use myself to help you retain all those facts and figures you need to remember - that have all been scientifically proven to help! ❤️
Hello! Here are my top 10 free apps that I’ve used for years that have helped me tons! From organization to study helping apps!
Hi friends! Today I’ll be sharing with you a list of apps that I’ve found useful in my life as a student. I’m currently in my second week at community college and adjusting to that #collegelife. A lot of these apps are helpful for both high school and college students while some pertain to living on campus/ meeting new people. This is not a comprehensive list by any means, but I hope you find some new apps that may have some purpose for you!
Academic
Forest-
an app a lot of you probably already know about, forest allows you to set a timer for long you want to be productive and stay off your phone. In that time, a tree grows and is placed in your digital forest. If you go into another app during the time, however, the tree will die :(
Duolingo
- a well-known language learning app, duolingo is simple to use and focuses on words and sentence structure in your target language.
Memrise-
similar to duolingo, but has a larger database of words and generally more to it. try both out to see which you like more!
Quizlet-
a classic/ essential! create notecards and use a variety of methods to study them. my favorite part is that you can input your next test date and it will create a study plan for you and remind you to keep revising until you’ve mastered all the concepts.
I would also recommend downloading the app for whatever your school’s online learning platform is (if you use one). It’s so helpful to be able to quickly check what assignments you have due, check grades, and message your instructors right from your phone.
Health
Cronometer- a simple and very comprehensive food tracker that has every food you can think of and shows you every macro and micronutrient you’ve consumed. it is important to make sure you’re consuming the proper amount of nutrients and this is the only app i’ve found that is free and shows you everything. there is also a place to log your weight and other biometrics and see trends over time.
Lifesum- another food tracker that gives tips on how to be healthier. beautiful interface and easy to use, although more in depth features require a membership.
MC- my cycles is a period tracker that allows you to input your flow, symptoms, mood, and any medications to effectively track your period with a simple and beautiful interface.
Foodstand- a great app for tracking nutrition, fitness, and water intake goals. all you have to do is draw a checkmark on the screen every time you’ve taken a step towards your selected goal!
Stop, breathe, and think- a fantastic meditation app! Input how you are feeling mentally and physically and the app will generate a list of guided meditations for you to choose from.
Sworkit- strength, cardio, flexibility, and yoga workouts, many of which don’t require equipment and are dorm friendly. you can even customize your own workout with your favorite moves!
Waterminder- water and liquid tracker, there’s all there is to it!
LaLa Lunchbox- this app is geared towards little kids but it allows you to create a meal plan and put foods from each category into your “lunchbox” to create an easy and healthy meal. depending on what foods you select for the week, the app generates a shopping list as well! this is so important to me since i commute and there is nowhere on campus to buy food.
Sleep
Sleeptown- from the same developers as forest, you input your bedtime and wake up time and leave the app open while you sleep (your phone can be turned off). while you sleep, a building is constructed and added to your town. if you go to bed too late or go on your phone, the building is destroyed. it has an alarm in app and helps to develop a consistent sleep schedule.
Carrot Alarm- this app was KEY for me back when i had trouble waking up in the mornings. basically, the AI robot screams at you and forces you to perform certain tasks in order to turn the alarm off. I wouldn’t recommend if you live in a dorm unless your roommate is on board.
Sleep Time- a sleep tracker that monitors your breathing and movement to determine the best time to wake you up so you don’t feel groggy in the morning.
Social
Heyy- this is such a fun app for when you’re making connections with a ton of new people. Input any contact information and social medias into the app and when you meet someone, you select which information to share with them via airdrop. makes meeting new people so much easier!
Spaceteam- a fun game that requires multiple people to safely guide a spaceship through the galaxy. great for in the dorms when you and your friends want something silly to do, also great for making new friends!
1 Second Everyday- simply film one second of video everyday and the app compiles them into a single video so you can look back on all you did in the year.
Lifestyle
Productive- to do list and habit tracker with a simple and modern interface.
Thinglist- one list for all your tv shows, books, places, and other bucket list items.
Pinterest- find links and photos for studyspo, study tips, life hacks, style ideas, recipes, and sooo much more! you can organize them into “boards” so you can always find what you’re looking for.
Daily Budget- input your weekly income (or how much money you’ll allow yourself to spend in a week) and the app divides it among the days in the week. whenever you spend money the app deducts from that day (and the next if you spend too much) and any money you have left carries over to the next day.
Starbucks- the Starbucks app is great because it allows you to digitalize your gold card (spend $75 and get a free drink or food item) and gift cards, place mobile orders, and partake in challenges to earn more rewards.
Other
Youtube- pretty self-explanatory, but you can find so many tips for school, life, health, etc. on youtube!
Google Photos- free up phone space by automatically backing up all of your photos online.
Spotify- find and create playlists for any mood, including sleeping or studying. the free version works great but premium membership is only $5/month for students!
Netflix- obviously.
There you have it, the apps I can’t live without! I hope you find them helpful! Study hard!
I have Attention Deficit Disorder (inattentive type) and am at university. Anyone know of to do list apps or something similar free on Google Play Store? I've used 30/30 in the past but need to get something now. If you've used any or have any recommendations please let me know!
Here are a few of my favourite apps i use to help me study!! I need all the help i can get… and these apps do just that - whether it’s helping me stay focused or organised, this is how i manage it. rb with your favourite apps for studying! We’re all in this together 💪
Offline Apps for Everyday Use
No one wants to ruin their day with disorganized plans and unfinished business. So let's get started! I found some applications in Google Play Store that will help you manage your schedule and finish your tasks on time. I also added apps that will take care of your mental health after countless hours of studying and working. These apps are free and work even if you're offline.
5 handy android apps for work, school, and personal use
TASKITO: Task Manager & To-Do List with Reminder
Taskito is good for reminding you of your tasks, important events, projects, and deadlines. When you add a specific task, you can attach there the date and time, set a reminder, add a checklist, and assign tags. You can also add repeating and unplanned tasks. Taskito comes with a free and premium version. Of course with the premium version, you can use all the features of the app like importing your calendars and more customization of the app. However, the free version of it is excellent too. I tried using the free version of it only to find out that you can already do many things even if it is free.
NABI - My Schedule Assistant
NABI is just like Taskito but it offers other features like you can create memos and monitor your income and expenses. The app itself has a cute and neat interface so it will definitely motivate you to write more and organize your plans. You can also attach images, cute stickers, drawings, location, and URL links in your memo, design your calendar with free stickers, and set alarms on your schedules. Just like the other apps, the free version of NABI only offers some of the features compared to its premium version. But the features I mentioned above are included in the free version.
POMODORO TIMER
Pomodoro Timer is recommended for those who want to manage their study time effectively. The app lets you control the duration of your time as well as your breaks. It is also inclined with different color themes, sound themes, and other features. It is very helpful especially if you want to distribute your time equally to your tasks and finish them on time. I personally use this app whenever I am studying or reviewing for tests and exams because it makes me use my time effectively.
AVOCATION - Habit Tracker & Routine Planner
Avocation is an app that allows you to track your habits. I personally recommend this one especially if you're someone who wants to start or develop a habit. For the free version, you can only create up to 5 habits however, if you would like to add some more, you can avail its paid version. It is a cute app for me because by completing your habits, you can grow your own plant. Another feature of Avocation is it includes some lessons for you to read on about habit development and provide some tips on how those habits can benefit you.
MOOD DIARY-Your Mind Journal
An app that records your daily mood. It uses emoticons with different moods to help you express your feelings at the moment. Every day, it lets you record the weather, your mood, your activity, and your thoughts. You can also access your mood data, of how your emotions changed weekly or monthly. Lastly, you can also add a password for your privacy. I like this app because of its simplicity and neatness, but most importantly, it helps to release your emotions and thoughts. Mood Diary is a great companion in this tough and sad world.
Hey guys, just thought I'd spread the word about a simple app that might help with maintaining your bullet journal. You can either replace a physical bullet journal for this app, or supplement a physical bullet journal with it. I use it to keep track of stuff I might want to add to it if I can't access it at the moment, since I always have my phone. Features: × Different symbols for completion or rescheduling × Different themes to pick from × Different symbols for tasks (checkbox), appointments (triangle), and notes (bullet). × Ability to group tasks, appointments, and notes by purpose (school, work, personal, or you can create another group of your own). × Ability to reschedule - when you use the ↪ checkbox it will allow you to pick a date to move it to. It's called Fill That Bullet, it's on the play store, but I am not sure if it's available for iOS.
Hello everyone! I finally got that apps for productivity and studying thing made! Yay! This took a lot of work to make, so I hope some of you get some use out of it :3
OneNote
Android: yes
iPhone: yes
Description: OneNote is an app by microsoft. It's also available on PC. You can even sync OneNote on your PC to OneNote on your phone. OneNote is my favorite app on my computer, because it helps me SO MUCH with my studies. The idea is that it works kind of like a notebook or a binder. You can have separate notebooks, and name them whatever you like. Then within that notebook, you have tabs, and in tabs you have pages. This may sound a bit complicated, but really it's very well organized and it's easy to use, because you can customize it to use however you like. You can even share a notebook or parts of your notebook with friends, and I believe they could even edit it if you allow them to. This feature is good for group projects and things like that. OneNote has a lot to offer, so I suggest reading some tutorial blogs on the internet. There are plenty out there c: I'll eventually make a post about how I personally use OneNote.
Mint
Android: yes
iPhone: yes
Mint is an app that lets you put in your bank accounts and have an overview of them. It also has a feature to make a budget. It has charts that tell you what you spend your money on the most. It's not always 100% accurate on what you actually bought, because some things are hard to categorize in the system. Like it may say you spent money on food, but really you bought a reusable water bottle. I prefer using this app over logging into my bank's app, because this is much more pleasing to look at, and it has some great features. I highly recommend using this if you care about how you spend your money and you like to know what you usually spend your money on.
Sloth
Android: no (alternative: ClearFocus)
iPhone: yes
Sloth is an app that's basically a timer, like a pomodoro timer of sorts, but it's different in that you don't have to take breaks in between intervals, or have intervals at all. The point is just to have a simple timer that you use to do whatever you're working on for AT LEAST this amount of time. You can add minutes by 5 at a time, and then just click the play button, and off you go. I like this app because it's simple, and I use it for when I'm drawing, to help me learn to draw faster. It can be useful if you're just trying to do something quickly before the time runs out, but you can use it however you like, honestly. It has several alarm features, such as dont sound at all, nag alarm, and regular alarm. I've yet to try all of these since I just let my phone vibrate rather than ring an alarm sound.
OneSafe
Android: yes
iPhone: yes Costs $4.99
This app was released on one of those "free app of the week" events for iPhone, and that's why I have it. But hands down, it's the best password app I've ever had. I really hate the others, they just really get on my nerves and don't have as many features as this one. It's got a sleek design (which I am always a hoe for) and it has lots of nice features. It even has a feature where it will create a password for you, but I never use this because I'm afraid something bad will happen and I'll lose all of my data somehow. Of course if you don't want to pay $5 for this app, then there's always bullet journals or OneNote, and you could make a private section to save passwords in. I think OneNote even has the ability to passcode lock some pages or notebooks, but I'm not 100% sure since I havent tried it yet.
RefMe
Android: yes
iPhone: yes
RefMe lets you do citation for books easily. I've never used a book for my writing projects, but I know that some people do. So RefMe is good for that. I think you just scan the barcode on the book and then it puts the correct citation in for you. Of course you probably also have to choose the type of citation, since there are different formats, depending on what type of paper you're writing. The standard is MLA format. If you want to make citations on the computer though, EasyBib is a website (they also have an app but I prefer RefMe) that helps you make citations by asking certain information about the web page you're trying to cite c: I used this for my paper (and of course proof read afterwards) and it was a lifesaver.
to:day
Android: No (alternative: any countdown timer that you personally like)
iPhone: yes
This app lets you set a countdown timer so that you can countdown to important dates. There were many of these on the app store, but this one came out more recently, and it just looks so much nicer. Of course, some people prefer writing countdowns in their journals, but I have a hard time keeping up with countdowns, so this app is really useful!
Be Focused
Android: no (alternative: Forest)
iPhone: yes
Be Focused (previously known as pomodoro) is similar to sloth, but it's actually a timer that uses the pomodoro method (please look this method up if you don't know what it is! It's very useful for studying and has helped me so much!) This app makes it easy for you to use the pomodoro method, and you can set how many intervals you have. You can set how long the work and the break will last, and ugh gosh it's so nice when it's time for the break. I usually set my break to 10 minutes, but that was when I only had one class. Anyways, it's a nice app for using the pomodoro method, and I highly recommend it.
Rain Rain
Android: yes
iPhone: yes
This app is sooo nice. You can listen to rain sounds, and there are so many free options. Most ambience apps make you pay for their extra features, but this app has so many options that you may not even feel the need to pay for anything else. It has a lot of rain sounds (like city rain and forest rain), but it also has crackling fire, harbor seagulls, crickets, lots of river and stream sounds, and even soothing sounds like a dishwasher, a ticking clock, an airplane ride, a train ride, or a laundromat (one of my favorites. I wish I could study at the laundromat because it is just that soothing to me) You can even make a mix of two different sounds, such as crackling fire and crickets, to make a kind of outdoors sound. I highly recommend this app.
Duolingo
Android: yes
iPhone: yes
Duolingo is a language learning app, and by golly is it good. It's REALLY good and it's free. That's pretty amazing. You can also use it on your computer, I believe. There are so many available languages to learn, including basic ones like spanish, french, german, italian, and many more. They're also adding new languages all of the time. I don't think that they have any asian languages yet, but I could be wrong, since I havent opened the app in a while ^^" I'm learning french (continuing studies from high school), german, and eventually italian using this app. And it's really good about making you re learn things, by giving you a main quiz and seeing what you need to brush up on. I love this feature, it's so helpful. It also gives you grammar insights, telling you how and why the language's grammar is the way that it is. Highly recommend this app to anyone that wants to learn another language. I believe that they even teach english c: so say you speak dutch and you want to learn english or work on your english, (this is also possible with learning other languages, like spanish) you can do that easily ^u^ (not 100% sure if dutch is available, since all of the language options for non english speakers are in the native language, and I don't know how to speak dutch. It's just an example) You can also purchase phrase packs like flirting or slang.
Japanese
Android: no
iPhone: yes
Japanese is an app that teaches you culture and the Japanese language. It used to be super simple, but over the years it's been updated and teaches a lot more. I would still recommend getting a Japanese workbook at Books-A-Million or another bookstore, since physically writing Japanese is a big part of learning the language.
Eve
Android: yes
iPhone: yes
Alternative for those who don't have periods: Glow
This is an app that tracks your period and gives you insights on your health due to your menstrual cycle. And oh my goodness, it is so great. I've learned so many things about myself that I never knew. I thought that I was just a crazy person, but because of this app, I realized how much my menstrual cycle and hormones actually impacts my daily life. I was using Clue before I got this app, which is a simple period tracker, with a few health insights that you can choose to read on your own. But this app, Eve, actually tells you WHY you may be feeling a certain why. It's amazing. I just really love it, because it makes me feel so good to know what's going on with my body. I got it because a friend recommended it to me, she kept sending me screenshots of her daily insight, and I was like omg I have to get this now. Eve also has a huge community where people make posts, asks questions, things like that. I don't participate very much, but I do scroll through it. They also have groups for certain topics. There's also a daily quiz that you can take. These are just a fun thing to do. They only take like 3 minutes to do, if even that. (I just take a long time to answer questions) And if you don't have periods, then you can get Glow, and it tracks other things for, I suppose, a basic men's hormonal "cycle" but I'm not 100% sure since I havent ever used it. I'm just going off of what people in Eve say about it ^^" I think these apps would be good for couples to use though. I feel like it may help when they know what's going on with each other in their cycles. That's just a personal thought though, you can do whatever you want with them c:
Sunshine
Android: no
iPhone: yes
Sunshine is an app that basically gets to know you based on how the weather feels to you. You can put in if it's sunny, cloudy, rainy, windy, etc., or even if there are tornadoes around. You can tell it if it feels hot, warm, cool, or cold to you, and it will collect this info and every day it will say "you will feel hot today" or "you will feel cool today" and things like that. It's slightly difficult to use since it's so simple, but once you figure everything out, it's heckin easy. I'd recommend looking up a tutorial if you're not sure how to use it. You can also see other people that use the app, and what they put in as the weather for that day. If you click on their icon, you can like their update, which will give them a point and help them to level up c: This app doesn't base the weather report solely on what you or other people say. It has its own weather report for your city, and you can just put in what the weather is like wherever you are located. Like say it says it's clear skies in your city, but where you are, it's cloudy. You can update it with that, and so other people will know that it's cloudy where you are. It's just a fun kiiind of social weather app. I really like it because it's simple and I like seeing what others update their weather to be like.
Poncho
Android: yes
iPhone: yes
Poncho is another weather app, and I really like this one. Every day it will give you a nifty update with a pop culture reference or something of the sort, and it also tells you things like if it will be a bad hair day (due to humidity) and the pollen count. It also tells you what the weather is like for the rest of the day (scroll right on Actual Weather section) and a 5 day forecast. It also has an alarm option, but I don't use it since you have to keep the app open (as with pretty much all alarm apps) The app is just really cute and gives great insights. Of course if there's ever bad weather where you are, I recommend turning on the news or looking at the radar at weather.com You can also refer others and get free stuff depending on how many people you referred ^u^ I've only referred one so far, so if you get this app, please use my referral code if you could, it would mean a lot c: you can click the link below to sign up ^u^ Code: Sign up for Poncho to wake up to simple weather forecasts. Use code '23uz3r4u' when you sign up.
Link to sign up with my code!
IF
Android: yes
iPhone: yes
This app is very useful. It's an app that does something when another action occurs. Say you get a DM on twitter, it can save that to a page in OneNote, all on its own. You create a "recipe" and it's very useful, especially if you like using social media, saving things to your posts, or even turning on the lights in your house (requires certain devices in your home of course) I used to use this app for when I post a photo to instagram, I wanted it to also post it to twitter with the full photo, rather than a link to the photo on the instagram accout, which is what happens when you do instagram sharing. I get emails every time the president signs a bill into law, and I can view what the bill was called and the date it was signed. I also get an email or notification when an astronaut leaves earth to go to space. There are many pre-created recipes made by other users, if you're not sure where to start. I would recommend getting the app and looking through these recipes and seeing if there's anything that you like.
Well, there you have it, that's all of the apps that I use. If you want to see more, look up youtube videos about apps that are good for studying or productivity. There are so many. And I may make another post about apps in the future, since I didn't list all of the ones out there. There are simply too many. (This blog took me two hours to write, omg) I hope that you found this useful, and if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! Thank you for reading <3
NOTE: I would also recommend getting microsoft office apps on your phone or tablet, since they're free and easy to use. I don't have enough memory on my phone to get any of them, but I would at least recommend getting Word if you can.
