YNAB…

Monzo…

Next up is not just another money app, but the money app (and ultimate travel accessory), Monzo. The smartphone-only bank updates your balance instantly, sends intelligent notifications, won’t charge you for transactions or ATM withdrawals when you’re abroad, lets you instantly split a bill or request payments from others via SMS (whether they’re on Monzo or not) and categorizes spending by category to help you track where all your money’s going. Being more organised with your money might not make you a better person in the strictest interpretation of the word, but you’ll have one less excuse for not splitting the bill.

Runtasty…

There are approximately a bajillion healthy eating apps, but Runtastystands out from the crowd with its specific dietary filters like post-workout, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, meat-eater, dairy-free, low-carb, and high-protein. All recipes include calorie, protein, carbohydrate and fat break down, and available in video format. The app lets you mark your fave recipes so you can make them again and again, and also has helpful kitchen hacks to make your cooking life easier.

Waze…

Being late is annoying. Use Waze and get wherever you’re going on time. The world’s largest community-based traffic and navigation app, Waze lets you “join other drivers in your area who share real-time traffic and road info, saving everyone time and fuel on their daily commute.”

Funnel…

Staying up to date with what’s going on in the world is a vital part of being a productive member of society. Funnel “gives you a clear account of what’s going on in the world from a multitude of sources,” with hourly audio news summaries from outlets like NPR and the Wall Street Journal.

The Great Courses Plus…

Expand your mind with The Great Courses Plus. The app brings more than 8,000 college level videos and lectures to your fingertips for free. Learn “from the top college professors in the world” by streaming video or audio to your device, or downloading and watching them offline later.

Mobile Passport…

Travelling through the U.S.? Mobile Passport is here to streamline your journey. Officially authorized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the app “allows travelers to submit their passport control and customs declaration information via their iPhone or iPad and bypass the regular line to enter the United States, effectively replacing the traditional blue-and-white paper declaration form required of all travelers entering the U.S. by air or sea.” Because a more streamlined traveler is a better traveler.

Sprinkles…

Sprinkles automatically generates witty captions for your pics. Captions are unique to what’s in the picture, and you can choose from hundreds of Emojis, stickers, and face-detecting Smart Stickers fit your face perfectly. Will it make you a better person? Maybe. Will it make you a person with a digital mustache? Definitely.

Microsoft To-Do…

The Microsoft To-Do app is a smart to-do list that makes it easy to plan your day. The app is a tool to help you “increase your productivity and decrease your stress levels by combining intelligent technology and beautiful design to empower you to create a simple daily workflow.” To-Do Suggestions organize your day and help you to complete the most important tasks or chores you need to get done. Helpfully, the app even syncs between your phone and computer.
