5 lifesaving apps for your everyday life
5 Lifesaving Apps For Your Everyday Life:
The smartphone is my daily companion - I can often no longer imagine myself without it. But where telephoning is the basic function of the device for many, it is becoming more and more of a secondary importance for me.
Lifesaving Apps For Your Everyday Life:
Rather, thanks to smart apps, I use my smartphone to organize my daily life and to make everyday life easier for me.
Everything revolves around this small screen, but without some of the apps installed on it, I would probably be stuck many times. Which apps are my lifesavers, you wonder? Here are my top 5!
1. Splitwise (available for: iOS, Android and as a web version):
If you are like me to those who like to keep an eye on their expenses, then I can recommend Splitwise to you. What I particularly like about the app is the fact that it is super practical and easy to use.
In short, Splitwise helps to share expenses with someone else so that you always have an overview of who is owed what amount to whom.
An example from the pre-Corona period: A friend and I are flying to New York. As it is, in the excitement surrounding the trip, everyone on site pays for public transport tickets or dinner or whatever else arises when traveling. “It will balance out” is often the motto, because at some point you lose track of things. With Splitwise, splitting bills is precise and easy.
Together we open a new list and everyone enters their expenses. The app automatically calculates who owes whom and how much. The amount is reset by clicking on "Pay off debts". Incidentally, I also use the app very often in everyday Corona: namely to distribute the household costs fairly and equally with my partner.
2. A1 Internet Optimizer (available for: iOS, Android and Huawei AppGallery)
Hardly any other app deserves the title “Lifesaver” as much as the new A1 Internet Optimizer app. Because we all know: Nothing works today without WiFi! Especially in times of home office, home schooling and the like, you are really in a fix without a fast internet connection.
And because it is often not that easy to get the best out of your existing Internet at home, there is now the Internet Optimizer. What I appreciate about the Internet Optimizer is the simple and intuitive handling.
Without having to have a lot of technical knowledge, the app guides me step by step through the process in order to be able to set up my WLAN easily. I can also easily change the password or share it with guests. With regard to disruptions and speed optimization, the app is for the first time a comprehensive assistant that measures the WLAN strength directly from the line or from the modem and can determine exactly where exactly the Mbit / s are "lost".
Once the problem has been identified, the app will give a direct recommendation on how to fix the problem. This means that slow internet and connection problems will be a thing of the past.
3. Notion (available for: iOS & Android):
Notion is the next-level app for all types of notes, tables, lists, etc. I recommend it especially to all self-organization junkies, because the possibilities in this app are almost limitless. You can create different lists on individual pages within the app.
Anyone who is a fan of nested systems can also create subpages and link them in turn. In addition, the app is in no way inferior to programs such as "Excel". You can even insert formulas and do standard calculations. Scheduling is also child's play with Notion.
Another benefit: Since the app is available across all common platforms, I can easily call up the lists and pages I have created on my Mac or PC.
4. Calm (available for: iOS & Android):
All apps presented so far help me to be productive in everyday life or to keep track of things. But it is just as important for your own productivity to treat yourself to regular breaks and time-outs. As paradoxical as it may sound, my smartphone helps me even when I switch off. More precisely, the premium version of the Calm meditation app.
I love to listen to the different, relaxing background noise (my favorite: rain on leaves). The so-called Daily Calms are also available every day. In the course of each episode, you get clever tips and anecdotes for more mindfulness and slowing down in everyday life. For those who have trouble sleeping, Calm may also pay off.
Because there are numerous bedtime stories for adults and children in the app. Do you sleep peacefully and wake up relaxed? No problem, thanks to Calm!
5. Keepass (available for: iOS & Android):
Shopping, banking, networking, training and more: As you can easily see when reading this article, I use it.
