The Best Apple Watch Apps to Boost Your Productivity

SadaNews - The "Apple" Watch is no longer just a tool for tracking fitness or measuring heartbeats, but has evolved into an effective personal assistant that can enhance daily productivity, especially for those easily distracted by their smartphones.

While the watch comes with essential apps like reminders and a calendar, third-party apps add broader capabilities that make task completion faster and easier, according to a report published by "Tech Crunch" seen by "Al Arabiya Business".

Here are some of the best Apple Watch apps to increase productivity, along with a simple explanation of how to use each:

Todoist is one of the best task management apps on the Apple Watch, especially when you don't want to pull out your phone.

It allows you to create and organize tasks within projects, set reminders, and mark items as "completed" directly from your wrist, either via voice commands or the keyboard.

You can view your daily progress directly on the watch face, such as the next task or completion percentage.

The app is free, with a monthly subscription of $4 for additional features like custom reminders and a smart assistant powered by artificial intelligence.

Drafts

In the absence of a notes app on the Apple Watch, Drafts serves as a practical alternative for quickly jotting down ideas.

You can input notes by voice, via Scribble, or keyboard.

The app displays the number of drafts and important notes, and it opens by default on a blank page for you to jot down any idea without interrupting your thought process.

The app is free, with a monthly subscription of $1.99 for advanced features.

Focus

If you enjoy working in short sessions, Focus is an ideal option.

The app relies on breaking 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 see the remaining time in the focus session.

The app is available for $7.99 per month.

AutoSleep

Good sleep is the foundation of productivity, and AutoSleep stands out as one of the most popular sleep tracking apps on the Apple Watch.

It provides detailed analysis of sleep quality, heart rate, and sleep schedule regularity.

The app 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 payment of $5.99.

Streaks

Streaks helps you build positive habits by tracking achievement streaks.

You can track up to 24 daily or weekly habits and see what you've accomplished at a glance on the watch.

The app is suitable for those who love visual motivation and daily commitment, available for a one-time payment of $5.99.

Fantastical

Fantastical is an advanced calendar app that allows you to create and track events and reminders directly from your Apple Watch.

It offers various views, such as "Next," "List," and "Tasks," while integrating 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, allowing you to organize your personal and work life in separate areas.

It supports reminders, automatic task repetition, and calendar integration.

Managing tasks from your wrist makes planning easier on the go.

The app is available for a one-time payment of $9.99.

Structured

Structured combines your calendar, tasks, habits, and reminders into a single timeline.

You can browse your entire day from the Apple Watch, jot down ideas quickly, and break projects into sub-tasks.

The basic version is free, with a monthly subscription of $6.49 for additional features, including AI-supported tools.

If you own an Apple Watch, it can be more than just a smart watch.

With the right apps, it can transform into a powerful productivity tool that helps you organize your day, reduce distractions, and accomplish more, all with a quick glance at your wrist.
