Apps you never thought you needed

By Ahmed Wafi

Life is easier when you have an app to help!

There are apps for everything these days from timekeeping to nothing. Yes, there’s an app you can download that does absolutely nothing. If you feel like wasting storage space on your device, you can download it here.

And of course, there are apps that can do you a world of good. Some even help with things you never thought you needed help with like sleeping, online account handling, and many more.

Like these ones:

7M Workout
Want to work out but don’t have much time? Download this app and it’ll put you through what the app is called, a 7-minute workout ranging from Beginner to Advanced as well as muscle-specific workouts like abs, arms, back and more. Plus side? You don’t need a gym to do these so you can work out right at home – no excuses now!

Lastpass
Having to keep up with your different social media accounts can a pain, especially when you’re trying to ensure security is a priority and your passwords need to contain a special symbol, uppercase letter, bla bla bla. Use this safe app to store your passwords, generate strong passwords, and even safely share notes and passwords with your friends and family. Just don’t forget your password before logging in – you only need to remember one.

Calm
Having trouble getting quality sleep? Your solution could be one app away. Dubbed the #1 app for meditation and sleep, Calm aims to help you sleep more, stress less, and live better. The app contains hundreds of meditation practices, stories to help you sleep featuring celebrities like Mandy Moore, and new content that’s added regularly. If you’re struggling with anxiety, sleep or would like to take up meditation, look no further.

Peak/Elevate
Get a quick brain workout to keep your mind sharp and focused using these fun brain games. The easy-to-use interface and fun games are bound to help you sharpen different aspects of your brain including focus, emotion, coordination, memory, problem-solving and many more. The perfect alternative if you’re looking for a more helpful game other than Candy Crush or Clash of Clans (do people still play those?)

Shopback
You already use Shopee, Zalora, foodpanda and the like to get your everyday fix of online shopping. But what if I told you that you can get up to 30% of your cash back by using this app? Download the Shopback app and access your online store of choice, buy your items, and get cash back. It’s really that easy!

Todoist
