5 fantastic iPhone apps that help you with New Year’s resolutions

The new year has kicked off and you may have found some motivation to give your life a healthier, tidier spin. That is certainly not very easy, but these five apps on your iPhone certainly help with good intentions.

The proverbial stick behind the door is nice when you suddenly realize that you really can live a healthier life. It is not easy to make a turnaround, which is why these apps are really nice if you make that choice. Good intentions are – well – good, but difficult and some help certainly can’t hurt.

New Year’s resolutions get a boost thanks to iPhone

In such a first week of January it starts to itch. Maybe I should eat and drink less? Maybe quit smoking? Do I need to get more rest in my head and body? Can my house be a little more tidy? In principle, the answers are yes and these apps make it a little easier for you.

#1 Lifesum

Lifesum is an iPhone app that can help you maintain your healthy lifestyle. By entering your goals, such as losing weight, becoming healthier or gaining weight, the app gives you insight into the exercises you should do and how many calories you consume.

This way you get a plan to achieve your goals. It’s important to set small goals and achieve them because in the long run, this works better than just focusing on losing weight. A healthy lifestyle can ensure that you lose kilograms gradually without having to follow a specific diet.

#2 Good intentions also mean Calm

A healthy mind often leads to a healthy body. But keeping your head ‘clean’ is damned difficult. Calm is the perfect app for when you experience too much stress. The app offers various meditation programs and soothing music to help you concentrate, become more aware of yourself, reduce stress and improve your memory.

You can use the iPhone app partially for free, but for the full experience you pay € 59.99 per year.

#3 Quitting smoking with Stopcoach

Tossing a cigarette for the last time is one of the hardest things to do when it comes to New Year’s resolutions. But there is a nice app that helps you with that. Stopcoach can help you to stop smoking, even if you are not so young anymore.

The app calculates how much money you’ll save by quitting and provides motivation when you’re struggling. By pressing a red button in the app, you can call in help from friends or family or use the app’s motivation function. If you do reach for a cigarette, the app will help you learn from the experience and keep going.

#4 Money Pro to keep track of your expenses

Was December expensive (because you also smoked?)? In our case it certainly was. A good intention is therefore to keep your financial affairs in order so that you may be able to take that distant holiday.

If you need help tracking your income and expenses, the Money Pro iPhone app might be for you. This app helps you to easily manage your expenses, income and bills and indicates when you should be more economical. This can certainly come in handy after the precious month of December.

#5 Tidy up your house with Sortly on iPhone

Do you also feel at the beginning of the year that you own way too much clutter? Throwing away or giving away that rubbish ensures a tidy head and house. Easier said than done, but with Sortly it’s simple.

It is an iPhone tool that allows you to create a digital inventory list of all your possessions. Sortly allows you to create different folders for collections, such as wine, sports gear, the contents of your freezer, or whatever you want.

You can add photos of the items to the folders and for each item you record how many you have, what the price is and whether it is still under warranty. You also indicate the location where you store the item. This makes it easier to find and manage your belongings.

So, all in all, 2023 can be a very smooth, healthy and tidy year with good intentions thanks to these excellent iPhone apps.
