So ladies, delete those photos of your ex or the 200 Hannah Montana songs you haven’t listened to since 2009 because you’re going to want that storage back. And don’t worry, these apps are all free.

Todoist

This app is perfect for the girl who’s so busy that she’s always forgetting something. That homework assignment, to switch the laundry, or take her birth control pill. That’s where Todoist comes in and saves your life. You start on the app by picking a theme, I use the dark theme because it matches the rest of my display. Make sure you allow the app to send you notifications. You’re going to want these reminders to pop up on your home screen because well, how else would you remember them? This app is so helpful as it lets you chose a date and time to remind you as well as how urgent the reminder is.

Sleep

Sleep is great for those who have trouble falling asleep at night, or even just relaxing. Say goodbye to counting sheep and turn to the gentle sounds of Sleep. There are so many different options within the app to ensure you get the best night’s sleep possible. Listen to bedtime stories where a soothing voice and read you stories to help you drift off, or listen to sleep sounds such as a fireplace, thunder, an airplane or chose from any of the 80 other options. There’s also a bedtime reminder to persuade you to get to sleep around the same time each night for a more refreshing morning.

Workout for Women

Ever go to the gym and just have no idea what you’re doing? I feel that because I was in that exact place before downloading Workout for Women. This app is extremely helpful when trying to achieve your fitness goals. Pick out your workout based on what you want to work on. Some great workouts I’ve had through the app are the “7M ABS,” “BIKINI BODY,” or the “BOOTY SHAPER.” A virtual woman walks you through each workout, showing you how to perform each move as well as scheduling times for breaks. On the in-app calendar, you can keep track of all of your workouts, as well as seeing how many calories you’re burning with each workout.

Waze

If you’re a traveling college student or just left to take weekend trips, this app should be on the first page for you. Waze is the best GPS navigation app in the entire app store. With the help of Waze, you get exact arrival times, as well as alerts of traffic delays or options for faster routes. While driving, the app will warn you of nearby potholes, roadkill or any other danger you need to look out for. Driving over the speed limit? Get updates and locations of any nearby police on your route. I wouldn’t dare try driving up to school with any other app. Waze also provides nearby food, gas stations and how far off the route they are. This app is every traveler’s BFF.
