This year has been like no other, both in my work and in life in general.
That’s mainly because I’ve had some health issues, suffering a stroke earlier this year and spending six months in the hospital before being discharged and able to resume work.
Therefore, the apps listed below have become important not only professionally but also personally.
I didn’t use these apps regularly at the beginning of the year, but now I get screen time on a regular basis.

Once you get home from the hospital, being able to track your nutritional intake is more important than ever.
For me, like many people, that meant MyFitnessPal. MyFitnessPal was the first nutrition app I downloaded and it became a staple on my phone. It contained all my weight and calorie information for the past 10 years or more.
However, since the app was sold by Under Armor, it has become even more bloated. Advertising became more prevalent, the amount of information available to me became worthless, and nutritional data increasingly seemed to take a backseat to blog content.
In short, MyFitnessPal has become the complete antithesis of Foodnoms.
Recommended by a friend, FoodNoms is a native Apple app that is customizable, privacy-focused, and has a great design. A large database of foods comes standard as a beautiful widget and is integrated directly into Apple Health.
It offers beautiful widgets that make it easy to view your data instantly, and a great barcode scanner that makes it easy to bring food information into your app.
I now use it daily to ensure I get the nutrients I need.

From server setup issues to bloated apps. Due to transcoding issues…
