Remember the early 2009 iPhone 3G ads “There’s an app for that”?
It’ll be hard pressed not to, today there are nearly 2,000,000. Naturally, there is more than one app to solve any particular need or user.

I’ve been using iOS since iOS 3, back when you had to PAY for iOS updates! (😳) I’ve had my fair share of app discovery. Over the years I have learned and used many apps, and I’m happy to share a few of my very favorites.

1. Headspace

Firstly, if you haven’t heard of it, Headspace is a Meditation app with friendly animations and a warm interface that is suitable for anyone interested in getting more mindfulness in their life. It includes meditation, mindful exercises, Sleep sounds, Focus music, along with a host of other audio and visual exercises and videos. Their website says it best:

Work stress, sleep problems, relationship woes — we all deal with so much in our day-to-day lives.

Luckily, there’s Headspace. With guided lessons on mindfulness, sleep, and simply remembering to breathe, it’s the everyday app for feeling better.
