Three Must-Have Apps for Every Pilot
from The Calm Cockpit Podcast · host calmcockpit
Season 2 Bonus Episode Monday Briefing 11 Your flight bag is full of tools to help you fly safely—but what about the tools that help take care of the pilot? In this Monday Briefing, we share three simple apps we think every pilot should have: Water Llama for staying hydrated, MyFitnessPal for understanding how you're fueling your body and brain, and Insight Timer for managing stress and training your nervous system. None are aviation apps, but all can help support better focus, decision-making, and overall performance. The key isn't perfection—it's consistency. Just as you rely on checklists and instruments in the cockpit, these apps provide objective feedback that makes healthy habits easier to build. Pick one app, try it for a week, and see what you learn. Small daily actions can make a big difference in how you feel—and how you fly. Links: Water Llama: Water tracker app & drink water reminder app My Fitness Pal 280 million users and counting: log food, track macros, identify nutritional content of food, track work outs, etc... Insight Timer: simple and clean interface plus guided meditations, breath work, relaxations, and meditation courses
