With the new academic year just underway, I wanted to collate together what I think are the top 5 apps for PhD students or, indeed, anyone undertaking a postgraduate course of study.
There is an endless amount of software out there that can help to make your postgrad life less stressful and boost your productivity. These are what I've found to be the 5 essential apps I use in my PhD.

01:00 Scrivener (Thesis Writing App)
03:40 Bear (Notes App)
05:33 Endnote/Mendeley (Reference Manager)
08:06 Things 3 (Task Management App)
09:59 Toggl (Glorified Stopwatch)
