The best productivity apps for iOS

Productivity is a very personal thing. Everyone has their own unique work style, so it’s important to find productivity tools and apps that work for you specifically.

There are many options available, but it’s important to identify your specific needs in order to choose the right one. For example, you might be a great note-taker, but struggle with staying focused on tasks. Or, you might have a great system for communicating with teammates, but have a hard time scheduling meetings with them.

In this article, we’ve compiled a list of the best productivity apps to meet a range of needs. From digital notebooks to project management tools, these apps can help you get things done more efficiently.

Hive

Hive is a productivity platform that is highly regarded as one of the best tools on the market. When synced with Hive’s desktop and web applications, the mobile app provides an additional way to improve productivity throughout the day. With Hive, team members can check their to-do lists, communicate in real time, collaborate on schedules, share files, and check on the progress of their projects.

In addition to the mobile app, Hive’s desktop and web applications have even more features to boost productivity. Every project can be viewed in multiple ways to suit different work styles, including Gantt Chart, Kanban Board, Calendar, and more. Updates are reflected across all project views so everyone can work how they want, and the whole team stays informed. Tasks assigned to you across all projects also populate in your own personal to-do list, helping you prioritize your work.

Todoist

Todoist is a simple task manager app that allows you to record and group tasks together based on projects. It’s an upgraded version of a traditional to-do list. In addition to recording and organizing your own tasks, you can use the app to collaborate with other people by sharing and assigning tasks.

Google Docs

Google Docs is an excellent tool for sharing documents and collaborating in real-time. This online word processor eliminates the need to save and send files back and forth during the writing and editing process. Depending on your settings, you can share files and documents inside and outside of your organization. This allows team members to work together from anywhere, reduces the number of redundant documents, and helps minimize miscommunication. Google Sheets has similar benefits, such as the ability to import CSV into Google Sheets, which keeps all of your documents in one online hub.

Google Docs also has a comment feature for highlighting and making notes about specific text. Comments directed at specific users will also trigger an email notification to ensure everyone stays in the loop. To protect privacy and security, Google allows the document owner to determine the editing capabilities of each user shared on the document. You can also download the documents as PDFs and edit them online.

Evernote

Evernote is a digital notebook that allows you to take notes, create to-do lists, save articles, and more. It’s a great tool for organizing all of your ideas and information in one place. You can use Evernote to write notes, create checklists, and save webpages, images, and audio. You can also create notebooks to organize your notes and make them easier to find later. Evernote has a feature called “Web Clipper” that allows you to save webpages with a single click, making it easy to save articles and other information for later.

Evernote also has a powerful search function that allows you to find specific notes and information quickly. It’s available on all devices, so you can access your notes from your phone, tablet, or computer.

Trello

Trello is a project management and organization tool that uses a visual board to help you organize your tasks and projects. You can create boards for different projects, and then add cards to represent specific tasks or ideas. You can assign tasks to team members, add attachments, and leave comments on cards. Trello also has a calendar view that allows you to see your tasks and deadlines in a calendar format.

Trello is a great tool for organizing and managing projects, and it’s especially useful for teams that need to collaborate and communicate on projects.
