You can brain-dump your ideas, organize them later, and create a schedule for your day by creating lists of to-dos and different folders for different topics. Things 3 is not jam-packed with features, but enough to be productive.

If you want to do more brain-dumping than creating lists, check out other Notes apps for iPhones here on Tool Finder. You could also connect Things 3 with your Apple Watch if you have one to further boost your productivity.

iPhone Focus Music

Vibes by Not Boring is an exciting focus application that uses hundreds of different soundscapes from the creator's favorite games to track your productivity levels.

If you want to focus on work you can choose focus music, if you need a bit of a boost, the music can pick up slightly. Overall, it's a great, gamified application to help improve your productivity and promote a deeper level of focus for working.

Not Boring also has other great gamified applications to support productivity, such as Not Boring Habits, an app for creating new habits. If you enjoy their aesthetic and gamified feel, use these apps in conjunction on your iPhone.
