gives you a good structure. Depending on your way of organising things you can divide different subjects/topics/etc into folders and notebooks. You can import scans and highlight things, annotate pdfs, you can include pictures into your notes and much, much more.

Minimalist | free version
[productivity | to-do list]
simple. Minimalistic. Effective. Offers a built-in pomodoro timer, countdown & more. Compatible with apple watch!
Microsoft Office | free for students!
[writing. calculating. presenting. basically everything]
Your school or university might offer Office for free! Just check if you’re eligible and sign up with your university email.
Dropbox OneDrive & GoogleDrive | free
If you don’t have a Mac like me try these storage apps. You can transfer files, notes and pictures directly to your laptop. I also use Dropbox for my monthly backup :)
Graphing calc/ Geogebra | free
such.an.underrated.app. You can use it as a high school student, as an undergraduate, postgraduate, whatever. It combines tools such as plotting, CAS,3DGeo, spreadsheet, stochastic tools & more. Produces great graphics and can be smoothly exported to LaTeX. + vv interactive!
Offers: ItalianxGerman, EnglishxGerman, PortuguesexGerman, SpanishxGerman, RussianxGerman, PolishxGerman and ChinesexGerman.
I think we’ve all seen their ads at this point but I still felt the need to mention it. The free version is pretty okay! Especially if you worry excessively about your spelling like me (welcome to the club lol).
Korean-English Dictionary. Even offers hanja to some words! Gives you example sentences, you can even take a picture of the word or sentence you want to translate and it will do its best to help you out. (Still a beta function but works most of the time!)
TED & Podcasts & Khan Academy | free
I use these platforms to educate myself on topics I don’t know much about or want to learn more about. Some podcasts I highly recommend are ‘the Minimalist Podcast’, ‘Not Overthinking’ and ‘The Ground Up Show’.
Endel | paid (depending on subscription)
It’s hard to describe, but in their own words: “Endel creates personalized soundscapes to give your mind and body what it needs to achieve total immersion in any task”. Basically you have four modi: relax, focus, on-the-go and sleep mode. They take into consideration external conditions such as heart rate, weather, time and location to personalize these soundscapes. I personally love sleep mode!
It’s a mental health diary but without the excessive writing and the nagging feeling of guilt when you don’t have the time to update it. It helps you to reflect and get information. What I absolutely love about it: you don’t have to write. If you don’t want to at least. They will ask you daily questions about your emotional and physical well-being, that way you’ll get a bi-weekly mental health assessment. You can learn effective methods and techniques + have a reference of your emotional state which you can share with mental health professionals.
