The Best Productivity Apps You Should Download On Your iPhone In 2024
Are you as productive as you can possibly be? Maybe, maybe not — but one thing is for sure: if one of your New Year’s resolutions is to be a more productive person, there are plenty of iPhone apps that can help. Whether you’re longing for more efficiency at your work-from-home job (so that you spend less time on social media) or more accountability in your fitness goals or even your reading goals, these apps will help get you there.
Here are some of the best productivity apps you should download in 2024.
Freedom
Freedom is a distraction-blocker app that allows you to permit your phone to block all of the most distracting apps so that your work day is as productive as possible. This means, if you feel like social media sites like Facebook or TikTok or most distracting to you, you can personalize Freedom to block access to those sites during certain times of the day. You can filter categories like News, Politics, and even Messaging and Search Engines. Freedom is free to try but costs $8.99/month or $39.99/year. With this subscription you can also set the app to play focus sounds that may boost productivity.
How many times has someone sent you or you’ve come across an interesting article and you’ve thought: I have to stop everything and read this or I’ll lose it/forget to read it later? Well, Pocket is an app designed just for this need. It allows you to save articles to your Pocket account so that you can read them at a later time, when you aren’t so busy. Pocket is free to download, but you can upgrade for $4.99/month to permanently save articles.
1Password
Are you really able to remember all of those complex passwords you have to create for every single website and app? If not, download 1Password for free (it costs $2.99 for individual accounts) and the secure site can serve as your personal password manager. Problem solved.
8fit
Few things in life are as challenging as committing to a healthy lifestyle and fitness goals. But the 8fit app can really help. This app offers personalized diet and exercise programs based on your goals. The free version provides some workouts, but when you pay for the Pro plan ($79/year, $39 for three months, or $24.99 per month) you really begin to see benefits like personalized meals, shopping lists, and more workouts.
Basmo
It’s not uncommon to start off with a list of books you want to read in a year, and then watch that number dwindle as life gets in the way of reading. A reading tracker app like Basmo is a good solution because it helps you keep tracking of your reading habits and improve them. You can create reading lists, take notes, create reading schedules, and set your reading goals.
Productivity apps are perfect for getting your life in better order this year — and they’re fun to use.
