Forest
Procrastination is everyone’s enemy when we need to get things done. Fortunately, there are apps that do not only help in focus but also teaches accountability. Forest is a paid app that plants a tree when you want to get deep in focus. For example, you set a timer for an hour and once you’re done, you’ll get a grown tree! However, the tree dies if you get distracted.
Forest costs P99 on iOS but is free on Android.
Goodnotes 5
If you have loved ones who own a tablet and a pencil, they’re probably taking their notes digitally. Goodnotes5 is a popular note-taking app in the study community that allows you to create virtual notebooks and write on paper. It can also open PDF files, which is perfect for highlighting downloaded reading material from professors.
Goodnotes 5 is only available on iOS for P399.
