Daily Deeds2011-05-24 22:48:17 Very helpful, simple app that reminds me of all the daily tasks I want to do to take care of myself each day. I feel rewarded in multiple ways when I check off behaviors that are consistent with my health and happiness. It's a cute app, well designed.

MoodScope2011-05-24 22:48:17 Moodscope was very helpful in my initial stages of mood tracking. I learned how much my mood varies from day to day, and started to see that on down days, all I had to do was wait and my mood would go back up. Ingenious cards help you evaluate how you're feeling each day.

LocationSwap2011-05-24 22:48:17 This app shows my kids when I'm on my way home, helps me feel safe that loved ones always know where I am, and increases a feeling of connection to my friends.

PhotoWednesday2011-05-24 22:48:17 This is a really fun way to share a visual timeline with a friend - no words, only pictures. Only on Wednesday. I'm a fan!

TallyZoo2011-05-24 22:48:17 This is a very light-weight tool I use to track my work hours on different projects. I like that it's single-click tracking, and colorful, too.

RunKeeper2011-05-24 22:48:17 RunKeeper was super useful while I was training for my first 10k run (which I completed!) I used it mostly for helping me figure out how far I had run, so I could stick to my training schedule. It was fun to look back and see maps of all my routes, and how my time improved as I kept training.

Equanimity - Meditation Timer & Tracker2011-05-24 22:48:17 This is probably my favorite iPhone app, because it has helped me establish a daily meditation practice. And having that practice has had many positive effects on my life. Equanimity has a beautiful, calming gong sound to start and end the session, a simple, elegant design, and a peace-inducing purpose. It will become your mindful friend.

DailyBurn2011-05-24 22:48:17 I used DailyBurn for about a year when the iPhone app first came out, to keep track of everything I was eating. It helped me to build a keen awareness of where my eating was off balance, and make more conscious choices. Now I don't need it anymore because the intuition has been implanted in me, but it was very useful.

Basecamp2011-05-24 22:48:17 Basecamp is incredibly simple and useful for collaborating on projects. Although Google docs does a pretty good job too.

Health Month2011-05-24 22:48:17 Healthmonth is a fantastic implementation of a simple gaming platform for monthly behavior change. I used it for a few months and was able to start and keep some new healthy behaviors. I found my tendency was to give myself harder rules each month though, which made the self-critical voice louder. If you use it, make sure to keep your rules super easy to meet!

Withings Wifi Bodyscale2011-05-24 22:48:17 The Withings scale is super sleek, and feels almost magical as you see your weight appear on the screen in a different room. The reason to give it 4 stars was that I found myself stepping on it twice a day, and becoming overly concerned about weight fluctuations. So I've switched back to just weighing myself at my yearly doctor checkup.

Khan Academy2011-05-24 22:48:17 I use Khan Academy myself, as brain exercise, and my daughters use it in their homeschooling. The videos are clear, short, and entertaining, the exercises are compelling and rewarding, and I feel very grateful to have this tool.

CureTogether2011-05-24 22:48:17 I can like my own website, right? :) But on a personal health level, I was able to completely end my migraines by following the gluten-free diet suggestion I found on CureTogether (almost 1 year migraine-free now!) Thanks to all the patients who are sharing data to help each other.
