Top 7 iPad Productivity Apps!
Ready to boost your productivity? Today, I’m diving into my 7 favorite iPad productivity apps, each one a go-to for organizing, planning, and powering through projects. These apps make it easy to stay on top of my game—let’s jump right in!
1. Notion
Everyone's heard of Notion, but it’s genuinely been a game-changer for me. I use it daily to write blog posts, newsletters, plan videos, and even outline my book. I manage all my content with a great content planner template by Easlo.
Notion’s flexibility is unbeatable; it lets you create tables, organize files, and manage data effortlessly—all for free! If you’re often struck by new ideas on the go, try Instant Notes for Notion, which adds them directly with a quick widget.
2. Dtd Playlist
Music is a huge part of my creative process, and Dtd Playlist is my go-to for Lo-fi beats. You can pick your vibe, from cozy coffeehouse tunes to upbeat tracks, and there are animated GIFs to match the mood. It’s paid, but the free version is perfect for light use, and it even includes a widget for easy access.
3. UPDF
This one’s for all my PDF needs. UPDF, from Superace Software Technology, allows you to import files, annotate, add images, insert sticky notes, and even doodle! If you handle a lot of PDFs, it’s got the formatting tools you need, plus an AI-powered GPT bot to help you generate ideas.
4. FlipClock
When I’m deep in time-blocking mode, FlipClock keeps me on track. With its retro digital clock aesthetic, I can set timers and alarms to remind me to take breaks or shift tasks. It’s simple but incredibly effective for staying focused alongside my planner.
5. Do Not Type
For idea-capture on the go, I recently switched from Voice Memos to Do Not Type. Powered by Whisper API, it transcribes my voice notes automatically and saves them for later. You just talk—no typing necessary! It’s a great tool for keeping ideas without interrupting the flow of work.

6. FigJam & Freeform
For brainstorming, FigJam and Freeform are top-tier. Both offer infinite canvases, perfect for collaborative sessions or visualizing projects. Whether it’s planning a family trip or working on a group project, they’re essential tools. Freeform is entirely free, while FigJam has a paid option for teams.
7. Structured
Finally, my absolute favorite: Structured. This planner, calendar, and time-blocker in one has redefined how I organize my day. I schedule my day by the minute, which keeps me on track and accountable. I’ve gone through countless to-do list apps, and Structured is the one that finally does it all. I’ll be doing a full review before year’s end, so subscribe to get notified when it drops!
