Our OhAppy Day! series gives you the scoop on the coolest apps from some of the coolest people anywhere. This week, Chef Daniel Boulud shares his favorites. And he had trouble narrowing them down!

“I am just starting to try the Sleep Cycle App because my daughter loves it and insists I have to use it. It tracks everything about your sleep cycle and judges your REM cycle so it can wake you up slowly just at the end of your REM cycle so that you won’t be groggy and tired. I just love the idea of having more control about my sleep time.

I also love the Songza app. [Also for Android.] It’s like being your own DJ, and so fun when you don’t have time to think about what songs you listen to. I have music on all the time.” – Chef Daniel Boulud
