These days, there’s an app for pretty much everything – including keeping an eye on your indoor air quality. With just a few taps, you can monitor pollutants, check humidity levels, and even assess EMFs (electromagnetic fields) in your home. But with so many apps to choose from, where do you even start?
Now, I have to be upfront – I don’t personally use these apps, haven’t tested them out myself, and haven’t asked anyone to trial them either. But since there are so many apps out there, it’s definitely worth talking about. So here’s a rundown of a few popular ones you might want to explore.
But before we dive into the details, just a reminder: as handy as these apps can be, they’re tools – not the answer. Nothing beats your own senses or that gut feeling that something’s off in your home. Apps can provide useful insights, but they’ll never replace your intuition when it comes to creating a healthy, comfortable living space.
1. AirVisual – Indoor Air Quality
A top choice for monitoring both indoor and outdoor air quality. AirVisual gives you real-time data on air pollutants, temperature, and humidity, and even provides a forecast, so you can plan ahead.
2. My AcuRite – Humidity and Temperature Tracking
This app lets you track your home’s temperature and humidity in real-time and sends alerts if things go out of your comfort zone. Perfect for maintaining a balanced indoor environment.
3. EMF Detector – Measure Electromagnetic Radiation
Worried about EMFs in your home? EMF Detector uses your phone’s built-in sensors to check for electromagnetic radiation around devices like your router or microwave.
4. Water Tracker – Monitor Your Drinking Water
Water Tracker helps you keep an eye on your water quality and usage. Great for those concerned about contaminants or relying on older plumbing.
5. NetSpot – Wi-Fi Signal Strength
While this app focuses on Wi-Fi, it’s useful for checking if EMFs or poor ventilation are impacting your connectivity. It’s one more way to manage your home’s overall health.
6. Tody – Clean, Organized
Tody helps you manage cleaning tasks, making it easy to stay on top of dust and allergens in your home. It’s a great tool for keeping your air fresh and healthy.
7. Gardenize – Indoor Plant Care
Gardenize lets you manage your indoor plants, which can help purify the air. Track watering, plant growth, and ensure your green friends are working their magic for better air quality.
8. Google Home – Smart Home Manager
If you have smart devices like air purifiers or thermostats, Google Home is a one-stop app to control them all. You can manage your indoor air and climate with ease.
9. Nest Thermostat – Temperature Control
Want to keep your home comfortable without overdoing the heating? Nest Thermostat lets you adjust your home’s temperature remotely, ensuring you maintain optimal comfort while avoiding dry air or overheating.
Wrapping it Up So, that’s the list! If you feel like trying one of these apps, I’d love to hear what you think. Let us know what you found in the comments below. And remember, while these tools can be helpful, I’m not married to apps. I’m present in living, loving, sharing, and caring, and that’s where the real magic happens. Trust your senses first, and use these apps as an extra layer of support for a healthier home!
