If you’re looking for the best productivity tools in one place, you’ve just hit the jackpot.
We did the research, so you don’t have to. Here are 25+ of the best productivity apps to use in 2022 that will help you optimize your time and get more things done while staying balanced, happy, and, you know, sane.
Apps that help you discipline yourself
DeskTime
DeskTime is a productivity app that lets you track your time, plan and track your projects, and calculate costs simultaneously.
The project cost tracking feature lets you fill in your hourly rate and calculates automatically how much you have to charge the client based on the time you’ve spent on a specific task or project.
You can also categorize the apps, websites, and programs you use into the categories “productive,” “unproductive,” and ”neutral”. That way, you’ll know how much time of your workday you spend effectively and how much time you spend on work-unrelated websites, like social media, news sites, and more.
Knowing your most time-consuming unproductive habits, you’ll know what to do to improve your productivity. For instance, you can temporarily block distracting websites while at work. (See apps for that below!)
Price: 14-days free trial. DeskTime Lite – free; DeskTime Pro – from $5.94/user/mo; DeskTime Premium – from $7.75/user/mo. If choosing the annual subscription, receive one month free.
Forest
The Forest app is built to help you discipline yourself and keep away from your phone. Whenever you need to focus, open the app, set the timer, and ”plant” a tree. Then put down the phone and focus on the task you want to get done. If you pick up your phone and leave the app before the time is up, the tree will die.
Sad. But here’s the good news:
The team behind the Forest app has partnered up with an actual tree-planting organization. Whenever you stay focused and keep your hands off your phone, real trees are planted on earth.
By now, there have been about 973,448 trees planted by Forest. Great chance to stay focused and make a real difference at the same time, right?
Price: $1.99
