Top Home Apps that Make Everyday Life Easier
The busyness of life calls for creative solutions that allow us to spend more time on what really matters: family togetherness, productivity, and relaxation. In the midst of jam-packed schedules, things like housekeeping, cooking, organizing, and energy efficiency need to be easier to accomplish and attain than ever. Thankfully, there are apps that make managing your home a breeze so that you can spend your time on more important things. Here are a few of the most helpful home apps out there.
The Nest app is handy for controlling your HVAC system, conserving energy, and enhancing securityâsomething we at Home Improvement Leads canât seem to live without. The Nest Learning Thermostat allows you to remotely control the temperature in your home while learning your habits and routines so that it can make your family even more comfortable and save you moneyâwithout you having to ask. It helps you stay updated with the energy that youâre saving and boasts a sleek and easy-to-use display. You can also use Nest products to keep an eye on your home and monitor for carbon monoxide and smoke.
After a busy day, the last thing most of us want to do is scramble around to figure out dinner and clean up the resulting kitchen mess. The Cook Smarts app, however, makes not only meal preparation easier; it helps you plan your meals and shopping ahead of time. The subscription meal plan service gives you the opportunity to follow a straightforward meal schedule tailored to your dietary needs and desires, while the cooking lessons help you achieve optimum levels of deliciousness that will make you excited about cooking. You can also use the app to keep track of your grocery list, explore alternative meal options (like paleo, vegan, and gluten-free), and reduce your food waste.
Lack of sleep is an epidemic in the modern world. Thankfully, the devices that are so often responsible for insomnia (ever fallen into a black hole on the internet at 2 a.m.?) can actually help you sleep better. Sleep Time+ keeps track of your sleeping habits and wakes you up at the optimum time so that you can feel refreshed rather than sluggish. It shows your detailed weekly and monthly graphs and offers soothing soundscapes that will help you fall asleep.
Home improvement projects and around-the-house tasks often fall by the wayside when more urgent daily things come up. If you tend to let projects go untouched for months, BrightNest is the perfect app for you. Organization tips, DIY ideas, and home improvement reminders complement the functionality of scheduling tasks and reminders for your home.
With the adult chores taken care of, you can help your kids focus on their chores. ChoreMonster is the perfect tool for your kids to have fun with responsibility. Parents can assign a schedule of chores, each one with a point value, providing rewards that kids can purchase with accumulated points. Kids have access to an easy-to-use interface that allows them to see what rewards they can earn by doing chores and gaining points.
Ever spent your entire morning picking out an outfit, to the point that you barely had time to brush your teeth? Stylebook eliminates this enormous time waster. You can enter all of your outfits in order to digitally mix and match, make packing lists, organize your closet, get inspiration, shop, and share your outfits. And the best part: the âwornâ list prevents you from wearing outfits youâve recently made a splash in.
