Self-help apps are growing in popularity and even more so now as we traverse through such uncertain times. Self-care and self-help are two powerful terms that have had an impact on many lives. We must keep ourselves physically and mentally healthy. But sometimes we need help to do that. We get that help from our therapists, support groups, friends and families and from various self-help books. Thanks to the digital world we live in, we can get help from different self-help apps as well.
Self-care can mean meditating, doing yoga, exercising, running, or any other thing associated with more positive experiences, helping us relax and leading to overall well being. These apps have made self-care more accessible and affordable for users. They are useful for busy people as well as for those who desperately need help but cannot afford a therapist. Besides mental wellbeing, they also help in productivity, accountability, managing finances, and career goals.
One amazing feature of these apps is that they cater to a broad age group. The need to stay healthy, remain mentally active and happy, be productive, and maintain work/life balance is universal. Keeping in mind these myriad needs and the wide range of apps out there, we have collated a list that covers most areas. We have reviewed many apps and then listed them here. They are not ranked, but their ratings and price information have also been listed.
