Oct 31, 2025

Explore 10 fun and practical apps every VIS student should try to study smarter, stay focused, and build creativity, your digital toolkit for success.

Being a VIS high schooler is a whirlwind of excitement, care-free fun, learning, and growth.

Between academics, co-curricular opportunities, and planning for the future, VIS students are constantly figuring out the balance of it all. So, what if it were possible to harness technology to make life a little easier and a lot more enjoyable?

We have compiled a list of ten must-have apps for all VIS students to consider while being organised, creative, and ready for the future:

1. Notion - Your Digital Planner!

   At VIS, students enjoy being organised, and Notion takes organisation to a whole new level!

   Notion can be used to plan out your projects, assignments, goals, and notes - all in one place! You can even create a study dashboard that has an aesthetic as beautiful as your Instagram feed!

2. Forest - Focus the Fun Way!

   Studying for that big exam or finishing that Media essay? Open up Forest. As long as you have the app open, a virtual tree grows every minute you are focused on studying or writing.

   The longer you stay focused, the greener your forest gets! It is focus - gamified, does it really get better than that?

3. Khan Academy – Learn Anything, Anytime

   Whether it’s getting refreshed on Physics before your test or browsing any art history because you’re interested, Khan Academy is the answer.

   Their easy-to-watch, helpful videos make learning out of the classroom extremely fun.

4. Quizlet – Smarter Revision

   Create flashcards to remember difficult formulas or historical dates, then quiz yourself or your friends.

   Quizlet gamifies revision and helps you remember everything better – perfect for those last minute, late-night CBSE prep sessions.

5. Google Keep – Short Actions, Big Difference

   Are you taking notes and have an idea from a discussion in class, or need a note of when you need to do a project tomorrow? Write it down in Google Keep.

   You can colour-code, use voice notes and share with your peers – it’s as efficient as it can get.

6. Grammarly – Write like a professional

   Whatever it is, essays or debate scripts, Grammarly is helpful for cleaning, confident, and effective writing.

   It makes sure that you sound your best for every piece of work you need to turn in.

7. Wolfram Alpha – The Genius Calculator

   Not only do calculations, but Wolfram Alpha also explains concepts step-by-step. From equations to scientific theory reformulation, it’s like having your own tutor available 24/7.

8. Habitica – Learning as a Game

   For VIS students who enjoy a challenge, Habitica converts daily habits into a quest. Just set your study goals, check them off when they are complete and it rewards you, productivity with a twist of fun.

9. Calm – Mindfulness Moments for a Busy Brain

   The VIS philosophy is to nurture well-being, as well as academics. Calm will help you take mindful breaks, meditate, or decompress before a big exam. A couple of minutes on Calm can make for a great day.

10. Canva – Design made Fun

    From creating presentations for MUNs, to designing posters for a school event, Canva can make it fun and easy for students at VIS, to show off their creativity.

Final Thought

We believe at VIS Sector 10 Dwarka, that technology does not just have to be a tool for learning or productivity, it can also be an enabler of creativity and discipline, and balance. These apps showcase that thinking, and can help our students learn smart, manage better, and be confident.

So go on, discover, experiment, and create new ways to make your school life exciting with the greatest digital tools.
