Beyond its health and fitness tracking capabilities, the Apple Watch also works as an innovative productivity tool, enabling users to stay organised, and up-to-date, and get their work on time, while minimising distractions. 

In addition to Apple's built-in productivity apps, such as Reminders and Calendar, there are various third-party apps available for Apple Watch that can further enhance your productivity. 

Gadinsider has compiled a list of these third-party apps that work as a great source to boost your Apple Watch productivity. 

Best Apple Watch apps

  • Todoist
  • Drafts
  • Focus
  • AutoSleep

Todoist

Todoist is a free app that helps manage tasks on Apple Watch without the need to use an iPhone. The app allows users to create tasks, organise these tasks into projects, and mark them as complete. It also helps to set reminders. 

It is also available for a $4 monthly subscription if users want additional features such as custom task reminders, an AI assistant, and a calendar layout. 

Drafts

As the Apple Watch doesn’t feature a Notes app, Drafts works as a digital notepad without the need for a phone. It allows taking notes through voice command, the watchOS Scribble feature, and the keyboard. 

It is available for free but also offers a $1.99 monthly subscription for additional features, like themes and the ability to send emails to the app. 

Focus

Focus helps to manage tasks and get work done on time. It is designed to break down work time into smaller chunks, called “Focus Sessions.” 

It also helps minimise distractions and is available for $7.99 per month. 

AutoSleep

The renowned Apple Watch app, AutoSleep, helps track sleep and also provides a detailed look at sleep quality, heart rate, sleep consistency, and more. 

It shows the sleep fata through a clock view with sleep rings to give users a quick overview of stats. It is available with a one-time fee of $5.99.
