Today I'll be going over (mostly) free productivity,
organization, and study apps that I use / find helpful!
They'll be linked in the description!
I got my bunny a virtual Arwen haha
Study bunny is a free "timer app" that you can use to time
your study or work sessions!
You get coins every time you finish a session
which you can use to buy new accessories, backgrounds, etc!
The app also lets you make flashcards, to-do lists,
and even comes with background music.
So if you're a high school or college student that constantly has to cite sources at the end of papers
and do research and it has to be in the proper MLA format or APA format
then I recommend this app "cite it now"
It does a really good job of finding books and websites
and just really quickly correctly citing it in the right format that you want
and you can also make different folders.
So it's just a really convenient citation app.
I recently discovered the app "exam countdown"
which lets you have separate countdowns for your exams!
The countdown helps you clearly see exactly how much
time you have left to prepare!
So if you're a college student (or high school student also) and your school uses canvas
for the classes and for the assignment
then I recommend getting the app and downloading it into your phone or tablet
because you get the notifications straight on your devices and
you can see when someone graded your assignment or
or there's any important notifications from the class
and another thing is (as you can see here) you can transfer your canvas calendar
with all your classes and deadlines and assignment dates and you can
transfer it to your google calendar if you use google calendar by just
copying the link (I show the steps here)
but you just copy the link and essentially paste it into the google calendar
and that way you don't have to manually put in all of the assignment dates
which can take a really long time :)
Google drive is great for storing files!
ESTELLAAAAAA...
eStElLaAaAaAaA...
Uhhh yes Professor Meowgonagall?
*sigh* I'm bored.
I need something intellectually stimulating to do
while you're frolicking about making videos.
I see... well I've got just the thing for you!;)
Ah, brilliant ;)
If you're someone who struggles with math and science like me
and needs really good explanations to really understand a certain subject
or if you can't get enough of math and science and you really want to advance your skills
then the best way to actually really actively learn the material is by applying it yourself.
And that's exactly what Brilliant allows you to do!
So Brilliant is a problem solving app and site that guides you through different problems
that are then broken down into different digestible explanations
and something that I really love about it is that, if you missed a question,
they have really detailed explanations of why you missed it
and that way you can correct your mistakes which is super important for actually truly learning something
So to check out and learn more about Brilliant go to this link
and sign up for free.
Also the first 200 people that go to this link will get 20% off of the annual premium subscription!
So quizlet is a really great flashcard app and what's great about it is
that you can A. find even other people's flashcard sets that are similar to what you're learning
in your class and you don't feel like making an entire set by yourself
but something that's also great is when you're creating your own
they even give suggestions for certain words or phrases when you type them in
so it makes it even faster to make your own sets
and it's overall just a really great flashcard app that can make it really easy to learn vocabulary
So next up is notion which I've been using this past semester to organize my school files
and pretty much everything related to school
and I also use it occassionally for to do lists
and if you want to see kind of my "full setup" you can watch my
"get organize with me: online classes" video from a little while back
but I pretty much just use it to put in all my digital notes from my iPad
and just export it and put it into Notion and have it organized
and I have just some basic university information that I feel like I need and I want organized
I find it especially useful for your school life and just having everything nicely organized in one place.
So next up are two apps related to sleep. So the first one is sleeptown
and I used it for around 4 months when I was really trying to fix my sleep schedule
I haven't used it for a while but I do recommend checking it out (it's also kind of like a game format)
where every single time that you go to sleep on time and wake up on time
you get a little house or building built in your little town and you can just keep growing it and growing it
and it's just a really cool idea because it also makes it feel like your sleep schedule fixing is a game.
And then there's also the app Alarmy which is just for making it easier
for you to get out of bed in the morning by essentially torturing you and making you do math problems
the first thing when you wake up or walking or shaking it
or doing memory problems (and the memory problems scarred me xD) but
I also haven't used it lately because I've just been using my light alarm clock which really wakes me up
but if you want an app that makes it really difficult to go back to sleep then I recommend alarmy
So next up is coursera and coursera is essentially where you can access university level courses
from top universities, universities from all over the world, and in any subject from
philosophy to astronomy (a lot of you have asked where you can study astronomy)
any subject that you're interested in, they'll have some kind of course on it.
and the vast majority of them are free (you can actually pay to get a certificate but I haven't done that)
Desmos is a great graphing calculator
that has a bunch of different options and features!
Goodwall is a social media app for students
where you can find scholarships / internships,
participate in contests and win money or prizes, and
chat with other students interested in your field(s)!
Camscanner lets you "scan" your notes and
save them as digital files!
Are you going to show me how amazing you are?
You found it?:)THERE!
Munchkin's (my little brother's) favorite apps are anything with games xD
This game really stresses me out xD
