After asking ChatGPT for the best iPhone productivity apps, the author selected three picks that earned a permanent spot on their home screen. ChatGPT initially recommended the pre-installed Notes app and Shortcuts app, along with other apps like Todoist, Notion, Fantastical, Superhuman Email, and PDF Expert. The three apps that stood out and now take up space on the author’s iPhone are Opal, Focus To-Do, and One Sec, which are comparable to Forest. The author notes that their iPhone has become less of a miniature distraction gadget and more of a positive habit-building machine thanks to ChatGPT’s endorsements.
