Top 5 Apps for Creating Healthy Habits – Supported by Science

Speaking of social psychology, how are you with habit apps (I love habits!)?

I have recommendations for a few.

– Presently: Free. A beautiful and simple gratitude journal interface. In any case, this app is for the ones who prefer to keep it simple.

In my work life, I am focusing on altruism rather than positive psychology. Still, as a user, I think that conversing about what you are grateful for with a friendly AI like Pi (because of its inherent optimism) would do a better job.

– Seven: Offers around 200 workout videos with clips, notifications, and streaks (consistency – meaning you need to not break the "chain", that's what works for me) – in just 7 minutes. Paid.

– Headspace – Backed by science, it offers many types of meditations with streaks starting at 3 minutes per meditation. Paid.

– Fabulous -Last but not least, an app of apps based on science from Dan Ariely's lab has a beautiful and rich visual interface. Rest assured, all the social psychology interventions were applied to you (defaults, framing, streaks) to ensure you stick to your habits. Paid.
