Leslie Poston · Accepted Answer

It helps to ensure I'm fasting for at least 13 hours a day, and building a "streak" out of this good habit. Super easy to use, too!

Kevin Lou · Answer

It's almost unfair how beautiful the UI is; I love, love, love this app for tracking my life.

A simple, no-nonsense workout tracker. Define your workout regimen, add your weight/reps and you're done.

Again, this helps with habit stacking. It encourages me to get up on time, work out, read, meditate, etc.

Aidha Shaikh · Answer

I really enjoy the variety of meditations (short/long/type of outcome) and the visuals / music that you can have accompanying you during the meditation. Also has streaks :)

Kunal Bhatia · Answer

I find the content on Furthermore to be generally informative and very helpful in all areas–health, fitness, and mindfulness. I also subscribe to their newsletter (and I generally avoid these types of non-work related newsletters). Check it out!

Paul Shapiro · Answer

Found the fewest number of frustrations among all the strength training apps I've tried. It has a huge catalog of exercises and explanatory videos about to do them. The social element is also nice.

Vinh Pham · Answer

I started using Meditation Studio about a month ago and have been pleased with it so far. They have audio guides that talk you through different topics that focus on uncovering happiness, overcoming bad moods, mindfulness, self-compassion, and a couple more.

Michael McBride · Answer

I've only just started running but this app is great. You can keep track of a number of performance metrics (distance, pace etc), and view your performance in each of them over time, allowing you to spot trends and track progress.

There are also 'Segments' which allows you to compare your times to other users who have run the same route.

The in-ear audio prompts are fantastic too, telling you key information as you run.

On top of this, the interface is clean and responsive, recording activity is super simple, and the additional features I searched for were all there (e.g. good privacy settings, lock touch screen during your run).

Finally, you can send a 'beacon' text, which is a security feature that allows select people to view your location as you run.

MindFi is an easy-to-use app for busy humans to improve your focus and attention with a super-convenient meditation system, where you train with YOUR EYES OPEN. MindFi content is displayed in a daily timeline that consists of your daily routine like meals, commutes and breaks. For productivity geeks , we also baked in a handy Pomodoro timer so you can spend your 5-minute break wisely, with meditation!

Paul Gosnell · Answer

Aggregates different activity trackers and devices into one feed. Currently iOS but Android on the way. You can follow other users to see their activities appear in your main feed. Converts calories and/or distance into points which you can spend on fitness rewards. There's also a B2B / workplace wellness version which also has some features for nutrition, mindfulness and sleep. These additional features will also go into the B2C version very soon.

PS... I'm the maker so biased

There can't be a day without Fitbit charge 2 for me. I love the sleep and walk tracker. I really wish I could make more sense of the heart sensor.

Protip is I use the interval tracker for my Yoga. 60 seconds for an asana!

Ksenia Borisova · Answer

A fun little app to track daily water consumption. Love that you can earn achievements (try 5 different types of drinks, etc.) and enter different types of drinks.

J. Pablo Fernández · Answer

It's good for any health goals as well as other goals. Losing weight, strength training, etc. Something that I like about Beeminder is that you don't need to do activity X on a given specific day to match your goal. You just need to do enough over time, so, it's flexible and adapts to a busy complex life style. Didn't go to the gym on Tuesday? just go on Wednesday, Beeminder doesn't mind.
