I’m on the go pretty often, which means I’m living from my cell phone often as well. Today I’m sharing some of my very favorite apps for iPhone, sorted by category.
Communication & Social
I don’t use a ton of social apps outside of the big 4, but these are helpful.
Unum
Free instagram planning and scheduling tool. Has neat drag-and-drop interface.
What’s App
I use this to communicate with a lot of my out-of-country pals. It’s slowly being replaced by facebook messenger.
Food, Health, & Shopping
Instacart
Groceries from your favorite stores, delivered straight to your door by trusty shoppers. Get $10 off if you use my link.
DoorDash
Food delivered from your favorite restaurants, straight to your door. Get $7 off your first delivery.
MyFitnessPal
I use this to track meals and calories. Syncs with my Withings app (see below).
PetNet
Ok, so this is pet food, but we use this app with it’s matching auto feeder to feed our cat.
Withings
App syncs with my Withings Activité Steel fitness tracker to record activity, sleep, etc.
Games & Family
Bubbles!
A very simple app that allows you to create bubbles by tapping or dragging your finger, then popping them as well.
Smash Hit
In this game you use your finger to tap, throwing metal balls at glass sculptures. Various objects get in your way, so you have to smash them. A hit for adults and kids alike.
UrbanSitter
Perfect community for finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter when you need one. I’ve found many favorites through this app! Get $35 off with my link.
Entertainment & Tech
Arlo
App we use with our security cameras to keep an eye on the house.
Sonos
Controls our music and speakers in the house.
Spotify
Music, please.

Though I hate to have to use it, this app can be a lifesaver for navigating traffic-congested areas.
