We've selected nine apps for iOS and Android that will make anyone a little better. The collection includes applications related to meditation, achieving goals, learning new skills and gaining knowledge.
Blinkist
became one of the first services for which I did not regret giving money. There are about several hundred summari (summary of the book) on various topics, from business to self-development and art. The service is paid, but there is a free period. A few months ago, when I was buying a subscription, the code giveitatry was in effect, which gave a 50% discount. Give it a try: I think it still works.
Daily curiosity
As a child, you probably read the Do You Know column in newspapers or magazines. In fact, Daily Curiosity is an analogue of such a rubric. Five new and almost always interesting facts about everything in the world appear in the application every day.
Weekly
One of the best apps for introducing good habits and breaking bad habits. The training is built in the form of a game. Weekly helped me develop habits for about six months. Then, when they got accustomed, I stopped using the application, but I think that it played an important role in the process.
Words
You probably know about Duolingo and LinguaLeo, so they will not be on this list. But languages just need to be learned in the modern world. Words have about ten workouts to improve vocabulary.
Forest
One of the most entertaining and unusual applications that I have come across. When starting any task, you can plant a tree in the Forest. If you don't quit the app to distract yourself and finish the task, the tree will grow. If you open Facebook or something else, the tree will die. In this way, you can create a whole forest, if, of course, you work without distraction.

Habitica
Habitica's goal is the same as Forest's: to give the user the motivation to complete tasks. But the approach is different: each completed task is crystals of experience for your hero in the application. With the help of experience, you can pump your character, dress him in new armor and buy weapons. For RPG lovers, it is the most it.

Lumosity
We recently discussed whether brain trainers work. There is no definite answer, but some independent studies are inclined towards a negative answer. But this does not detract from the merits of Lumosity and the millions of users around the world who believe that the application still works. Try it and come to a conclusion yourself.

Headspace
There are meditation apps, and there is Headspace, which stands out among others. The main feature is, of course, the creator of the application and the person who teaches the lessons - Andy Puddicombe. His voice magically brings you into a pleasant meditative state. From you with each lesson will be required less and less effort.

Moodnotes
The attempt to replace the psychoanalyst with an application looks strange to say the least. However, judging by the reviews in the App Store, Moodnotes helps people figure out internal problems and try to solve them. Of course, it is better to consult a specialist, but for various reasons this cannot always be done.
