Let’s face it; there is a ton of apps out there. While some are new and innovative, others are almost considered to be veterans on the market – and the amount creates an unimaginable jungle where good ideas mingle with the brilliant.
Luckily, some life-hack geeks have helped us navigate our way to the ones that will make your life so much better and more organized; it may seem far-fetched, but it truly isn’t.

Here are a couple of the best ones to check out and fall in love with this autumn. Most of them are available on both iOS and Android too so nothing can stop you from reaching your goals.
Make and save money: ThredUP and Bellhops
If you’re in need of serious cash, these sites won’t do you much good. Looking for ways to clean out your wardrobe, on the other hand, and get your style ready for the next season – that’s where ThredUP can help you out. Have a look at their full site on https://www.thredup.com and download the app on iOS and Android if you’re interested.
The app is specifically designed to get rid of any pre-loved clothes you’re no longer that interested in as there’s always a happy someone who would pay up to be its next owner.
The service sends you a massive plastic bag to fill up with whatever you have lying around from a couple of seasons ago. Fill it up, send it back to them, and they’ll buy what they like and donate the garments they don’t want to a good cause. Selling your stuff can feel good sometimes.
Bellhops is another great app that may save you a bit of money the next time you need to move houses. It’s meant for small-scale moves, though, and they’ll supply you with muscly college students to lift your light-ish stuff on demand. Since they hire students who need flexible and easy part-time jobs more than any, you’re also giving them a helping hand.
Just keep it mind that it’s not meant for your heavy-weight moving needs. Shiply is an ideal service for these kind of jobs; have a look at https://www.shiply.com/removals if you’d be better off with a larger truck to transport all your furniture. These guys will compare the different moving prices as well, by the way, to make sure you get the best possible quote.
Organizing: Habitica and Schoolhub Students
Not only is this app for free but it also takes the dullness out of your to-do list. Instead of making all of those daily chores daunting and endless options of yawns, Habitica is similar to a bullet journal except that it’s designed like an old-fashioned game. Complete your chores and receive point, gear, and praise from your friends – who you can even team up with, facing those daily challenges like the kickass squad you are.
Next, you need something to use as a calendar for your studies if you’re still working to get your degree. Schoolhub Students is a must for every savvy young adult in university, and it’s even available at the student-friendly price of absolutely nothing.
Update anything on your phone or computer, and it will keep you academic life organized. When something is due, it’s kind enough to give you a quick reminder too, so you don’t miss out on anything important. It’s the kind of stuff all stressed-out students need.
The more chaos and disbelief you get out of life, there’s always a tech-savvy someone in Silicon Valley designing an app to make it a bit easier on you. And even if it doesn’t solve all our problems, at least we can browse through some pre-loved sweaters, dreaming about the day we manage to make a fortune out of creating genius sites like these.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

Good ones! I’ve never heard of Thread Up, but this seems like a great one to start with! Super easy!
Yona Williams says
Habitica sounds like something I would like – I’m more likely to complete things when it’s in competition form.
Melissa Storms says
I have been a member of Thredup since the beginning when you sent your boxes right to other users. I see where there were problems with that and still love the site though. I am going to have to look into downloading the app and definitely need to check out Habitica.
