9 apps that will change your life

Last week we asked our Twitter community a simple question — “What's an app that has changed your life recently?”

We weren't prepared for the response. 👀👀👀

But we're not surprised that people care (a lot) about the apps they use. Apps account for up to 90% of the time you spend on your phone, and that's usually concentrated to a handful of favorites.

The other thing we noticed among the many, many answers we received: the same apps kept cropping up. Here are a few of them:

Todoist is a to-do list app (that over 13 million people use). Its biggest advantage over other to-do list competitors is that it works across everyyy platform. ✅

Notion is an “all-in-one workspace.” It's really an organizational app that's Google Docs meets Excel meets DropBox. 🙌

Headspace, a meditation app, was mentioned a lot. Folks also gave shout outs to competitors Calm and Primed Mind. 🧠

Grammarly is an editing app that helps you write without mistakes. It automatically checks your spelling, grammar and punctuation, and will give you synonyms for words to grow your vocabulary. 📝

Airtable is a spreadsheet app that makes it so easy to build custom apps. 👏

Bear is a writing app that you can really make your own. It's sort of like Evernote, but more simple. ✍️

Monzo is an app-based bank to manage day-to-day spending. 💸

Gyroscope brands itself as an “OS for the human body.” It will give you an overview about yourself — like how much time you spend online. 👤

Telegram is a messaging app that's superrrr fast (and secure). 🔒
