After digging through hundreds of different iPhone and iPad apps that went on sale on Tuesday, we came up with a list of what we believe are the six best ones that have dropped to free. Remember though, these are all limited-time sales that could be over at any moment, so definitely hurry up and grab anything that looks appealing before the price jumps back up.
This post covers paid iPhone and iPad apps that have been made available for free for a limited time by their developers. BGR is not affiliated with any app developers. There is no way to tell how long they will be free. These sales could end an hour from now or a week from now — obviously, the only thing we can guarantee is that they were free at the time this post was written. If you click on a link and see a price listed next to an app instead of the word “get,” it is no longer free. The sale has ended. If you download the app anyway, you will be charged by Apple. Some apps may have additional features that require in-app purchases.

Hatch: Mindfulness & Focus
Normally $1.99.
**2018 AND 2019 New Apps We Love** – Apple
Hatch is a mindfulness platform designed to encourage students and their families to take screen breaks and focus on other being more productive. Users set their timers in five-minute increments, which starts the process of hatching an egg with a mystery creature inside. Once it’s started, you can’t close the app or run another app. If you do, their egg will crack and you’ll lose the creature inside. At the end of the timer, the egg hatches and the mystery creature is revealed. There are many elite, legendary, and limited edition species to keep users engaged and hatching throughout the day.
WHAT’S IT FOR?
Parents
– HOMEWORK Help your kid stay on-task and focused when doing their homework, providing incentive to stay away from distracting social media apps.
– READING It’s hard for all of us to stay focused on reading with a phone nearby; use Hatch to break the habitual phone checking cycle.
– TECH MODERATION There are plenty of tools to limit tech usage. Add a daily Hatch session to your arsenal for a positive reinforcement approach.Students
– Stay on-task while studying or doing assignments.
– Keep a record of your ‘phone breaks’ and what you accomplished, to reinforce healthy tech habits.
– Listen to dope Lo-Fi Hip Hop (courtesy @CollegeMusic) beats while you study (available ONLY while running a Hatch session, for extra motivation).Meditation
– Not ready for the commitment of a full-on guided meditation session yet? Get started by putting your phone down for an hour, and use hatch to make sure you stay on-track.
– Make note of how each session made you feel, and review your past sessions using the Timeline feature anytime you need a little extra motivation.HOW DOES IT WORK?
1. Set a timer for as long as you like (start small).
2. Enter a goal for the session (it helps, trust us).
3. Don’t leave Hatch (your DMs can wait).
4. If you succeed, you’ll get a weird creature!
