Best Apps for Productivity 2019: Make Your Life Super Easy

Are you looking for the top, best free apps to increase your productivity? There are various apps on play store and app store for productivity. We have done some deep research and compiled a list of the best productivity apps of 2019. These apps are free to use and make your life super easy. So, let’s get started.

1. Todoist

Another excellent to-do list and planner app is the aptly named Todoist (Android, iOS), a multi-platform planner app that keeps things efficient with a clean, gimmick-free approach to interface and task management. Featuring a powerful natural language engine that can easily transform a jotted down thought into a one-off or recurring task, color-coded priority levels, shared projects, and productivity graphs that record your progress, Todoist is a handy companion for getting things done. More advanced users will appreciate the powerful integration with services like Dropbox, IFTTT, and Slack. It is a free app, but you can buy the paid version to unlock additional features.

In late October, Todoist’s Foundations update delivered some important new features. Sections, which are long overdue if you ask me, help you organize all of your projects and to-dos in groups. Quick Add makes it easy to speedily add items to your lists. Foundations are also supposed to make the application faster and more reliable.

2. Evernote

Evernote is a powerful note-taking app. It’s been among the most popular apps in its class for years and it has the chops to warrant such praise. You can save your audio, text, picture, and various other types of notes. There are also unique organization features, cross-device syncing, collaboration features, and more. There isn’t a lot wrong with it. However, you do pay for all of those features. A base plan goes for $7.99 per month with the full experience going for $14.99 per year. Google Keep is another excellent note-taking app that is entirely free if you want such an option as well.

3. Phone-Memo

Are you facing problem making notes while calling? Now, you can solve this issue with the Phone Memo app. You can not only make notes while calling but also use tags and check the history of notes during your call. All your notes are safely saved in Evernote’s Phone Memo Notebook. Additionally, the notes taken are auto-tagged against the callee’s or callers’ names or numbers. Thus, it’s easy to search for notes using your contact name or phone number. Now, you don’t need a pen or pencil while calling. With the help of the Phone Memo app, you can easily organize all notes while calling. It is one of the best productivity apps and I personally use it.

4. LastPass

LastPass is one of the best security apps. It stores your login credentials for websites. You then use it to log in. With it, you can come up with more complicated passwords, login faster, and you don’t have to memorize your password for every site you visit. That saves a lot of time. There is also a LastPass Authenticator app that adds an additional level of security. The free version of the app includes most features, but if you want to get all of the features, you’ll need to shell out $24 per year.

5. Trello

Trello bills itself as a virtual sidekick. The idea is to help you stay organized at work and at home. You can make what are called Boards to help manage your various projects and each board allows you to work on one task at a time. The app allows for collaboration with coworkers and friends which makes it excellent for a work or family environment. Trello also comes with Google Drive, Dropbox, and Android Wear support. It’s completely free to use which makes it one of the great productivity apps.

6. Slack

Slack (Android, iOS) takes conventional instant messaging a step further to make a more useful group messaging and coordination tool. Slack includes your IM basics with real-time messaging synced across devices. You can also do file sharing, direct and group messaging. In addition, you can quickly set up subgroups for task or topic-oriented discussions. Slack archives your communications, allowing you to search through old messages, channels and shared files and includes integration with a variety of services such as cloud storage, Asana, Zendesk and more. It is a free app but you can purchase premium plans for more features, such as expanded file storage and better app integration.

7. Grammarly

Speaking of communication, with more and more of our workday spent writing emails, chat, and docs, having a powerful real-time editor can save you hours of time.

For us, Grammarly is one of the best options for editing not only spelling and grammar but style and tone as well. All on the fly.

What makes Grammarly one of the best productivity apps isn’t just its accuracy and intuitive nature. It’s also due to it being an “invisible hand” for behavior change. Grammarly works everywhere you need accurate writing—from emails to Slack, Google docs, Jira, and even Twitter and Facebook—meaning you can easily use it while maintaining your usual workflows.

8. Cloze

Keeping track of your business and professional contacts can be a dizzying to-do, so a good contacts manager can be a big help. Cloze (Android, iOS) tries to build all-in-one contacts, social networks, and email command centers. With the help of cloze, you can sync details about your contacts from your social networks and email so that your data and profiles are always up-to-date. The app also works as a one-stop social networking command center, allowing you to tweet, update your status, like or share links, and more. It uses your interactions and messages to identify “Key People” and automatically surfaces tweets, status messages and other related updates from them.

9. Forest

Forest is a different kind of productivity app that helps you focus on your work and stay off your phone. It basically gives you a reason to not use your phone. The app grows a tree that dies if you use your phone. You collect various trees as you progress through the little game. Google implemented a similar idea with its Digital Wellbeing app and YouTube has a timer as well. We also really like 5217, an app that times you for 52 minutes followed by a 17-minute break. It’s an interesting genre of apps that can help increase your productivity if you find the right one.

10. Hootsuite

When it comes to the best apps for productivity then we can’t ignore Hootsuite. If you want to organize your social accounts and save time then check out this app. It syncs all your social media platforms in one place. You can schedule posts, track accounts and view your social analytics with Hootsuite. It helps you to sync 35+ social media accounts but in the free version, you can only use up to 3 accounts. You can assign and approve workflows with team management.
