Every wellbeing app on these lists
29 apps in total. Each line is what that app does differently from the others here — the reason it made a list rather than being a second copy of something already on it.
Allergy PlusAllergy Plus is a five-day pollen forecast next to the weather, and a notification when the level changes where you actually are.
AutoSleepTracks your sleep from your Apple Watch automatically. No buttons.
Barometric
Pressure TodaySee pressure drops coming in the forecast, hours ahead.
BearableBearable logs symptoms, mood, sleep and whatever else you suspect, then shows which of them move together.
BendBend is short stretching routines you can follow on the floor by the bed — hundreds of them, written for every age and level rather than for athletes.
BreathwrkBreathwrk is breathing patterns you follow on screen — it counts the in, the hold and the out so you don't have to keep track.
ClueClue predicts periods from your own cycle length and flow, and takes 200+ symptoms to log against them — cramps, energy, mood, skin, sleep — so a bad week can be read against where you were in the cycle. Berlin-based, under GDPR.
Dark Noise50+ ambient sounds to fall asleep to, with a timer that fades them out.
Day OneDay One takes one entry before the light goes off — text, photos, audio — in an app whose whole design is that nobody else reads it.
Decibel X PRODecibel X PRO is a sound level meter in dBA, so you can find out how loud the room you spend all day in actually is.
EndelEndel generates soundscapes on the fly from things like time, location and heart rate, rather than serving them off a playlist. Nothing to choose.
Eye Care
20 20 20Every 20 minutes, one gentle reminder to look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
HiCoffeeLogs every coffee and shows how much caffeine is still in you.
HygrometerHygrometer is one dial and one number: the humidity around you, on a face built to look like an instrument rather than a dashboard.
IQAir AirVisualIQAir AirVisual reports air quality for 500,000+ locations with a 48-hour forecast, from government monitoring stations plus their own sensors.
Marco PoloSend a video, get one back, on your own schedule. Private and ad-free.
MedisafeMedisafe is the pill reminder, with drug-to-drug interaction warnings and prescriptions imported through Health Records from 100+ US hospital systems. Whether a dose was taken, and when, is the first thing a doctor asks.
Meditation PalYour own wind-down audio in one calm player, even with the screen locked.
MigrainePalLog an attack in one tap, then see which triggers line up with it.
MoodnotesMoodnotes is a mood tracker that also asks how you got there, so it nudges at thinking habits instead of only storing a number.
one secPuts one breath between you and a scrolling app before it opens.
Plume LabsPlume Labs gives air quality where you are and where you are heading, hour by hour rather than as a daily average.
Posture ReminderPosture Reminder reminds you to sit up and to stand, on a schedule you set rather than whenever it feels like it.
RemRem works out when you fell asleep and woke up on its own, then breaks the night down. Nothing to press before bed.
SunshineDid you get morning light today? It measures your daylight for you.
Wakeout!Easy exercises and timely prompts to move, through a day of sitting.
Water tracker
WaterllamaWater reminders and a tally of everything you drink.
Water Tracker by
WaterMinder®Log what you drink; a fill level shows your hydration, and it reminds you.
WelltoryWelltory reads heart rate variability from the phone camera or an Apple Watch and turns it into a stress and energy reading. Fatigue and burnout tend to show up here before they show up anywhere else.
