If there’s a healthy version of screen time, I think these apps do it! They connect me with art, beauty, introspection, mindfulness, puzzling, and so many things that make life sweet.
I’ve had this app for over 10 years now. I return to it often to learn about art and see the daily drops. Beautiful art to slow down my brain! Also a great guide to tell you in which museums specific pieces live
DailyArt - Your daily dose of art.
Every single game is a nice little brain warm up and break from the news :)

Social media that’s all about books — so *mostly* non toxic. I love listing all the art I experience so this is a happy appy

My life in film :) not much matters more to me than stories and movies and this is always a fun exercise in listing, ranking, and loving movies !

I have saved so much money eating in Charleston on this app!! So many great deals and earn cash value points whenever you scan a puck. NYC and LA also have it!

I love lists and recommending things :)) this app basically makes me feel like Martha Stewart

I trust these recipe developers so much! All that I’ve tried has been lovely and it’s so nice to get all my recipes from one place. Truly an abundant archive of classic and trending bites!
