Technology is all about making the everyday stuff simpler, and with a smartphone in your pocket, it’s now more possible than ever. There’s a whole world of digital apps out there to help you manage your life, keep track of what’s going on and save money. Here are our top 10 apps for making your life convenient.

1. BSociable

We all know how difficult it can be to organise group events with our friends when we’re all leading such busy lives. When can we meet? After work or before work? Where should we meet? At the cafe or at my place? Is anyone going to be late? Sometimes the options can be overwhelming, and BSociable works wonders with streamlining this process. The app lets you view the calendars of your friend group, meaning you can say goodbye to all those messages trying to find a date and time that everyone can come to. Other features include choosing a venue easily, RSVPs, location services so you can see where your guests are 2 hours before the event (and see if anyone is going to be late) and the ability to invite more guests to your events. This app makes it so much easier to catch up with friends, meaning you can do it more regularly… and who doesn’t want that!

2. Health Synergy

What happens when a nutritionist and a naturopath from Sydney get together to make an app? That’s the story of Jennifer Murrant and Hannah Singleton who, with the help of EB Pearls, created the ultimate in handheld healthy eating.

Health Synergy is an iOS app that showcases over 150 recipes, all of which are free from sugar. Many of the recipes are also vegan friendly and dairy free. Providing a balanced, nutritional approach to health and wellbeing, Health Synergy was designed by EB Pearls to help bring Murant and Singleton’s dream to life, and to help you get a healthy answer to the question “What’s for dinner, tonight?”

3. Keep

Love post it notes, colour coding and checklists? Google Keep is the handy smartphone app that’s going to revolutionise how you organise your life.

What starts as a series of colour coded notes where you can write reminders, create checklists, add pictures and even audio recordings, quickly opens up to almost unprecedented levels of organisation.

Notes can be shared with others, scheduled for specific dates, times and even locations, and notes that turn into long form text can quickly be turned into Google Docs. It’s all so simple and fluid that you won’t want to stop using it. Best of all, it’s also available on your computer browser.

4. Quality Time

If you’re worried about how mobile phone usage is affecting your productivity, your wallet or even your personal relationships, Quality Time could be the solution you are looking for.
