10 Apps to Help You Crush Your New Year’s Resolutions in 2026

Gola - Goal Tracking

Whether you have a small goal or a huge project you want to complete in 2026, Gola has all the tools you need to stay on top of everything.

Gola lets you create and categorize all your goals in one place to keep track of them and see your progress over time. The app also comes with several widgets that make it easy to see your goals at a glance. You can track goals from your Home Screen, or even your Apple Watch if you want to. And of course, if you need a little help, the app can send you a reminder throughout the week to help you stay on top of things.

Another great feature of Gola is its AI assistant that can give you advice on how to actually stay on track. For instance, if you want to lose weight, the app will give you some tips on what you can do today to keep track of that goal, which is perfect if you ever get stuck.

Streaks

Streaks has been on the App Store for years, and there's a reason why it's still one of the best apps to stay on top of your goals.

With Streaks, all you need to do is add a habit that you'd like to make or break this year. Once you do that, you can set up some daily reminders and you're good to go. 

Streaks will make sure to remind you during the day that you need to complete that habit. After you do what you need to do — or stop doing the habit you want to break — you mark it in the app and get ready to do it the next time.

The app is pretty straightforward, and it lets you keep track of up to 24 tasks at once. You can even add it to your iPhone's Home Screen as a widget or to your Apple Watch as a complication, so you never forget about your habits.

With Streaks, you can also keep track of how many days you've completed a specific task to keep you motivated. And if you aren't completing a task as well as you wanted, the app will suggest small changes you can implement to make the habit-forming process a bit easier.

Habit Tracker - HabitKit

HabitKit is a powerful app that will help you keep track of all your goals in one place. What's great about this app is how easy it is to customize your habits to make them stand out.

When you create a habit, the app will put it onto a grid that you can customize with a different color and icon. These grids will show you the days when you've completed a habit, which gives you a feeling of satisfaction when you get to see your habits filling up your dashboard. 

If you want, you can also share your progress with anyone to keep yourself accountable — or maybe to humble-brag a little. 

Other than that, the app is pretty straightforward, and you won't have a problem using and customizing it.

Goals Tracker Planner: Griply

Another powerful app that will make tracking all your habits a little bit easier is Griply. This app can keep track of any type of habit you want to build or break.

All you need to do is create the habit in the app, and it will take care of the heavy work of automatically tracking your habits, sending reminders so you don't miss a day, and helping you break down big goals into more manageable tasks.

The app will also walk you through creating SMART goals — Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. This gives you an action plan in the app that you can follow to take small steps to create a significant change in your life.

Besides being a goal tracker, Griply can help you track other things in your life, as it also lets you create your own to-do list while still having your goals in mind.

Focus Traveller - Flow Timer

If you need more visual motivation to help you stick to your habits, you can try using Focus Traveller, a simple but fun app that will make completing tasks a bit more fun.

With Focus Traveller, you select a traveler that best represents you and then send them on a peaceful walk. The more tasks you get done, the farther your character will travel.

Granted, this app isn't necessarily here to help you track your goals. Instead, you use it to stay focused on a task that you need to get done. However, if you use it right, you can build a habit in a creative and fun way.

Not only that, but you can even travel with other people, so you can get things done with your friends and family.

Habitica: Gamified Task Manager

Let's face it, not every habit is fun and exciting. Sometimes, you'll need to do things like studying or eating healthy, which aren't tasks that we look forward to doing. However, there's a way to make them more fun with the help of Habitica.

Habitica is a task manager app that will turn your life into an RPG. When you first start up the app, you'll create your own character with tasks you need to complete to achieve your goal. Once you complete a task, the app will give you experience points and other rewards that you can use to upgrade your character.

The more tasks you complete, the stronger your character will become. And of course, the better you'll be at the goal you're trying to achieve.

Habitica is a fun experience and a new take on classic to-do lists. Whether you want to play alone or with friends, Habitica has you covered.

Apple Fitness

Whether you have an Apple Watch or AirPods Pro 3 or just want to find good workouts to do at home, Apple's Fitness app is a great way to achieve your fitness goals in 2026 without installing any extra apps.

With an Apple Watch, the Apple Fitness app will keep track of all your physical activity during the day. You'll get data like the steps you take, how many calories you've burned, and how much exercise you've done. The more active you are, the better your rings will be, and the app will even give you medals for crushing specific goals.

If you have the latest AirPods Pro 3, you can also use the Apple Fitness app exclusively on your iPhone to track your exercise. This won't give you as much data as an Apple Watch that you wear all day, but if your 2026 goals include working out more, Apple's latest high-end earbuds are an ideal way to log exercise and heart rate data without investing in any other accessories.

Apple also has a subscription service called Apple Fitness+ where you'll find different workouts you can do at home with nothing but your own body weight and your iPhone.

The workouts are excellent on their own to keep you moving during the day, and the service also comes with exercise programs you can follow called with different classes to help achieve a specific goal, like strengthening your core, running your first 5K, or practicing gratitude and kindness.

Apple Fitness+ costs $9.99 per month, but you can also get it as part of a Apple One Premium bundle with all five of Apple's other services for $37.95 per month. That's less than the individual costs of the Apple Music, Apple TV, and 2 TB iCloud+ storage that are included, which means you're basically getting Fitness+, Apple News+, and Apple Arcade for free.

StoryGraph: Reading Tracker

If your goal for this year is to read more, then an app like StoryGraph is a must-have on your iPhone.

StoryGraph is a pretty straightforward reading tracker. All you need to do is add your books to the app, and you'll get a better insight into things like how much you read and what genre you're into.

What's great about the app is that you can set goals for how much you want to read for the year. You can choose a number of books or pages you want to read and keep track of how well you're doing on that goal.

If you want a little motivation, you can also let your friends join the app and see what they're reading and how much progress they've made. Or, you can take on one of the many reading challenges available. 

Some of them are time-based, which is a good way to force you into reading more often. But there are plenty of challenges that just require you to read a specific number of books without a time limit. Just in case you don't want to feel pressured into reading anything you're not feeling right now.

Strong Workout Tracker Gym Log

Some people want to lose weight, but if you want to focus on building muscle, there are apps like Strong that will help you achieve your goals.

The Strong app is a simple but useful workout tracker. With it, you can create your own gym routines or copy one of the templates available. Afterward, you can add as many workouts as you want. There are hundreds of recorded workouts in the app, each with an explanation or video of how you should do a repetition, making it a great companion for new gym members.

Besides tracking your workouts, the app will also show you different metrics that you can customize to see your progress after a few weeks or months.

MacroFactor - Macro Tracker

In order to lose weight, you don't just need to work out; you also need to take care of what you eat. Your goal should be to eat a specific number of calories that will allow your body to burn more calories than the ones you consume per day.

Of course, that's easier said than done, and if you don't have any experience, knowing the number of calories that your body should consume will be very hard. Fortunately, you can use an app like MacroFactor that does the heavy lifting for you.

Based on your goals — whether it's losing, gaining, or maintaining weight — MacroFactor will give you the number of calories you should eat during the day and week. Additionally, the app will let you know an estimated time when you're going to complete that goal.

What makes this app great is that it is constantly adjusting your caloric intake to make sure you're staying on track. For instance, if the app sees that you've been gaining weight with the number of calories you're eating, it will suggest that you reduce your calories so you keep losing weight. Likewise, if you're losing weight too quickly, the app will suggest that you eat more calories per day so you don't feel like you're starving yourself.
