Price: 4,99 €+

I understand that you can’t get away from your phone no matter what you do. Apps that will prevent you from using the phone are annoying, I know that too. But hey, there’s always a way out. Forest is a great app that will keep you free from using the phone while keeping you engaged in case you want to spend 10 minutes looking at a screen where a plant grows into a tree and does nothing.

The app has more than 30 species of trees to grow with white noises that will keep you well-composed and calm when the app is working under the hood blocking your access to the phone.

 

2. Productive

Productive


If procrastination and laziness is something you look for, you need something to stay motivated and productive. That’s why the app “Productive”. It is easy to use a to-do tool that lists tiny tasks such as clearing the inbox, eating vegetables, walking for a minute, and so on as you can configure it. You can create reminders for any time of the day for any period. The app is fully customizable where you name the ‘habit’, set time and when it goes off, you can do the stuff and mark it done.

Productive is a healthy time management app that doesn’t stress you like any other app. You can track your wins through Lie Log that shows perfect streaks, tasks done, and so on. Users can add location-based reminders with the app in case you want yourself to do something at a particular location like cashing in a check.

 

3. Robinhood

RobinHood

You can learn almost anything there is to learn about investing in the app itself so that you can make your financial decisions independently. Manage your account and investments with real-time market data that you can check out.

The app has become a sensation thanks to its uber popularity in metropolitan cities around the world. It makes investing in cryptocurrencies, dividends and other options easier than ever so that your money grows over time. The plus point is its no commission fees policy that makes it a must-try app this month so don’t miss your chance here.

The app is backed with GPS to track the movements and miles covered. There’s a coach that you can select within the app to talk to you when you are working out which is basically a feature it uses to track and train users and keep them motivated thoroughly.
