The Best Apps for Tracking Any New Year's Resolution ...Middle East

News by : (Live Hacker) -

I like all the best general progress tracking apps, but when it comes to resolutions, you are looking at something time-bound and specific by its very nature, so you should try apps that are tailored more to what you're doing.

To exercise more (48%)

To eat healthier (45%)

To lose weight (31%)

To do more for the environment (24%)

This year's list was interesting to me when I compared it to last year's, where "save more money" led the way with a measly 21%. It was followed by eat healthier, exercise more, lose weight, spend time with family/friends, quit smoking, and spend less on living expenses. Obviously, health and fitness continue to rank high, but it's notable that this year's least-popular resolution—reduce job stress—outranked even last year's most popular. It seems, at least according to this source, that 2026 is the year for making resolutions. I'm fresh off a year of actually nailing all my resolutions for the first time ever and I'm looking forward to replicating my success. In addition to a few personal tricks, here are the apps I think you should use.

The best apps to track exercise frequency: Strong and Peloton

If you want to work out more, it will help you to see your progress with each trip to the gym (or at-home session, or whatever). For that, try Strong, an app that lets you input the exercises you do and creates graphs showing your gradual improvement in weight, sets, body fat percentage, and more. In the past, I've only recommended this one, and it's great on its own, as it includes instructions on how to do a variety of exercises, which is nice if you aren’t really a fitness person (yet) and feeling nervous about trying new moves in front of other people keeps you away from the gym. The free version will save unlimited workouts, but you can only add three custom routines. For everything else, it’s $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year. For my full review, read more here.

This year, I have come around to recommending something else: The Peloton app, which I review here (but talk about here and here and here...). I can confidently say that for me, 2025 was the year of Peloton because I got so into working out on my Bike, using the brand's other class offerings, and even tracking my non-Peloton workouts through the app that I'm now on a 290-day in-app streak. And that's important, especially when we're talking about resolutions, because not only does this show you that all-important daily (or weekly or monthly) streak, but it offers so much variety, which will keep you going back.

The best app to eat healthier and/or lose weight: Lifesum

My favorite part is that it's so easy to use that I don't skip it, even on my laziest day. Instead of manually inputting every ingredient into the tracker, I can describe or even photograph my meal and let its AI do the work of figuring out approximately how many calories and grams of protein are in it. It's not perfect, of course, but I appreciate that, too; when I've gotten too gung-ho about tracking every morsel and getting every gram accounted for, I've counterbalanced a little too hard and lost all motivation, which kept me swinging back and forth between obsession and complete disinterest. Lifesum turns tracking into a less stressful, more positive experience you can actually stick with.

The best app for prioritizing family and friend time: Cozi

I've mentioned this app as a meal planner in the past and think it works great for that, too. Use it to loop together a series of your resolutions, from eating better to spending more time with loved ones. While you're at it, brush up on how important stacking your resolutions and habits is for their longevity.

The best app to improve job performance: Flora

As I explained in my review earlier this year, Flora is a focus timer that locks down your phone while you work and, if you don't mess with your device and instead settle into deep work, you grow a virtual tree to display in your virtual forest. Right there, you can see the value prop if you're trying to track your progress: You can see all the trees you "grow," which helps you visualize how you're doing. There's also an option to bet actual money on your ability to complete focus sessions, which works well for some people. (I am personally a big believer in forcing penalties on myself for failing to carry out a resolution, and though I don't usually bet money, I see the appeal of having financial stakes involved.)

Wondering what the app uses that money for? Great question! It's to fund the planting of real trees around the world. Your bet money or subscription fee (should you choose to pay between $2 and $12 per month, though it works fine in its free version) go toward paying for making the environment better, which is a win-win.

The best app to spend less time on social media: Steppin

Steppin also uses "streaks" so you can see your progress over time, plus shows a graph every day of your walking time vs. your time on the blocked apps. Both of these visual elements are useful in keeping track of where you're at. You break your streak by resetting your customizations or overriding a Steppin block when you don't have any minutes banked.
