From maintaining good habits to blocking distractions, there are many apps available on the App Store that you can use to boost your productivity. In fact, the App Store is filled with productivity apps to the point where it is difficult to select the right one.

In this article, we have narrowed down the search to seven useful iPhone productivity apps you can use to get the most out of your day.

7. Day One Journal

Journaling your goals and coming up with ideas to achieve them can help boost productivity. You can also journal in a physical diary, but then you may have privacy issues, and you may not be able to carry it around at all times.

With the Day One Journal app on your iPhone, you can write down your thoughts whenever you want to and keep your privacy intact at the same time.

This app is an all-in-one digital space for your journaling needs. You can write notes, record audio, save videos, photos, and format everything according to your preference. You can also use your Touch ID, Face ID, or passcode to keep everything secure.

Every entry you make is end-to-end encrypted so no third party can read them. On top of that, Day One Journal makes regular automatic backups to keep all your data safe in case you lose or damage your device.

You can add unlimited journal entries for free and purchase the Day One Premium membership to access additional features like unlimited photos, videos, audio, and more.

6. Productive

You may want to build new smartphone habits to boost your productivity. Starting new habits is easy, but the real challenge is keeping up with them. With Productive, you can create, complete, stop, or pause your daily routines as needed and visualize your progress on your habits.

Productive also has daily challenges that you can participate in and compete with other users to bring further improvement to your routine. You can analyze your progress on the statistics page, and to stay motivated about your habits, you can check how long you have had a streak of good habits.

Notifications are perhaps the best thing about Productive. You can set up reminders and get notifications of which habits to follow and at what time of the day. To personalize the app further, you can assign a unique icon to your habit, name it, and also pick a color for it.

The app is available for free, but it also offers a premium version, which comes with a special set of features—like the ability to add unlimited habits along with better, location-based reminders for specific habits.

5. Freedom

You can never be productive if you keep letting notifications distract you and steal your focus. With Freedom, you can block distractive apps and websites to stay on top of your work.

Use Freedom on your iPhone or iPad to block apps and websites from a pre-made or custom blacklist. Every block session is synced across devices, so not a single distractive notification can slide in.

If you need complete silence, you can block internet access on your devices right from the app. You can also schedule block sessions so that they are enabled automatically at the right time.

As much as we love Freedom, know that it's a paid app. However, on the bright side, you can try it for free.

4. Slack

Slack helps you streamline your workflow and boost productivity by bringing your team into one place. You can build different channels for specific projects and discussions to keep your communication and collaboration organized.

You can create a seamless, well-connected workplace by integrating services like Google Drive, Salesforce, Dropbox, Asana, Twitter, and Zendesk into your Slack interface.

Slack also comes with a quick yet powerful search engine that enables you to search through your conversations and files to find anything you require.

Sending voice recordings, editing documents, and calling team members are just a few features that make Slack a powerful productivity app for more work-focused environments.

3. TickTick

While journaling and muting notifications are helpful productivity-boosting techniques, nothing beats an app to stay on top of your tasks. Most task management apps today are pretty complicated, but not TickTick. It has a super-simplified interface that lets you create and track tasks like a breeze.

The tasks are displayed in a list form and are synced across all your devices while also being integrated with the Calendar app on your iPhone. You can assign them four priority levels: High Priority, Medium Priority, Low Priority, and No Priority.

Once you assign a task a priority level, it moves up and down the list (the highest priority tasks being at the top). This helps you visualize which tasks you need to eliminate first.

Then, other additional features like scheduling, task repetition, creating subtasks, adding details to each task, and tracking each task with a Pomodoro timer, all for free, make TickTick simply the best to-do list app. In the premium version, you can also share the task lists with your team for better collaboration and use the built-in Calendar.

2. Clockify

Clockify's iPhone app lets you track the hours you spend on different tasks. The app lets you enter the time spent manually or have it tracked automatically, and if you're tracking time for work, you can even set your hourly rate and calculate how much you've made based on the hours tracked.

If you're managing a team that is working on an hourly basis, you can use Clockify to log the time your team has spent on a particular project. In the Reports section, the app offers a timesheet, which you can view time logs for any custom period you want (weeks, months, and even years).

You can use this section to review your project's financials like earnings, cost, profit, estimates, and budget, and even share the time logs with clients for transparency in your hourly projects.

For personal use, Clockify's free features are sufficient. But you may have to invest in the premium version to manage your teams better.

1. Notion

Hands down, Notion is the best productivity app that you can use. It can replace almost every other productivity app you use, especially task management software. From excellent text editing to saving and displaying bookmarks, Notion comes with a bunch of features you can utilize to boost your productivity.

You can create different folders for different departments (like work, personal, and education). Then, each folder can have an unlimited number of pages and subpages (a page within a page). On a page, you can insert a wide variety of text formats, for example, checklists, bulleted lists, numbered lists, toggle lists, pull quotes, and heading styles.

Notion's interface welcomes emojis, too, which you can add to stylize your documents. While you can design your documents however you want for almost any purpose, you can also use Notion's custom templates to create the perfect dashboard or document.

Overall, Notion is a multipurpose organizational application that can streamline almost anything you do, all for free.
