Khaberni - The Apple Watch is no longer just a tool for tracking fitness or heart rate, but has turned into an effective personal assistant capable of improving daily productivity, especially for those who are easily distracted by their smartphone.
While the watch comes with basic applications like reminders and calendar, third-party applications add broader capabilities that make task completion faster and easier, according to a report published by "Tech Crunch".
Here is a list of the best Apple Watch apps to increase productivity, with a simple explanation of how to use each one:
Todoist
Todoist is one of the top task management apps on the Apple Watch, especially when you do not want to pull out your phone.
It allows tasks to be created and organized within projects, set reminders, and mark tasks as "completed" directly from your wrist, whether through voice commands or the keyboard.
Your daily progress can be displayed directly on the watch face, such as the next task or the percentage of completion.
The app is free, with a monthly subscription of $4 for additional features such as custom reminders and an artificial intelligence-powered assistant.
Drafts
With the absence of a notes application on the Apple Watch, Drafts serves as a practical alternative for quickly jotting down ideas.
You can enter notes by voice, or through Scribble, or the keyboard.
The application displays the number of drafts and important notes, and opens by default on a blank page to record any idea immediately without interrupting your thoughts.
The app is free, with a monthly subscription of $1.99 for advanced features.
Focus
If you prefer the method of working in short sessions, Focus is an ideal choice.
The application relies on dividing work into focus sessions, reminding you to take regular breaks.
Using the watch instead of the phone reduces distractions, as a quick glance is enough to know the remaining time in the focus session.
The app is available for $7.99 monthly.
AutoSleep
Good sleep is the foundation of productivity, and here AutoSleep stands out as one of the most popular sleep tracking apps on the Apple Watch.
It offers a precise analysis of sleep quality, heart rate, and regularity of sleep times.
The application displays a readiness index that estimates your mental and physical readiness for the next day and suggests the best time to sleep.
The app is available for a one-time fee of $5.99.
Streaks
Streaks helps you build positive habits by tracking your achievement streaks.
You can keep track of up to 24 daily or weekly habits, and see what you have accomplished with a quick glance at the watch.
The app is suitable for those who like visual motivation and daily commitment, and is available for $5.99 as a one-time payment.
Fantastical
Fantastical is an advanced calendar app that allows you to create events and reminders and follow them directly from your Apple Watch.
It offers several views, such as "next," "list," and "tasks," incorporating the weather status.
You can also view your schedule through a smart widget on the watch face.
The app is available with a monthly subscription of $4.99.
Things 3
Things 3 is one of the most popular task management apps, helping you organize your personal and work life in separate areas.
It supports reminders, automatic task repetition, and integration with the calendar.
Managing tasks from your wrist makes planning easier while on the go.
The app is available for a one-time fee of $9.99.
Structured
Structured combines calendar, tasks, habits, and reminders in a single timeline.
You can browse your entire day from your Apple Watch, quickly jot down ideas, and divide projects into subtasks.
The basic version is free, with a monthly subscription of $6.49 for additional features, including AI-powered tools.
If you own an Apple Watch, it is capable of being more than just a smartwatch.
With the right apps, it can transform into a powerful productivity tool to help you organize your day, reduce distractions, and accomplish more, all with a quick glance at your wrist.
