Any tools we use should make our work and life easier. This concerns mobile applications in the first place. Lifehacker and cashback service have selected for you the best productivity tools for iPhone and iPad that 2016 gave us.

Airmail

One of the best iOS email clients with a perfect balance of functionality and minimalism. Mobile fully syncs with the desktop version, including settings, gestures, shortcuts, and everything else.

The app boasts smart search, filters, 3D Touch support, Spotlight integration and the ability to customize just about anything.

Microsoft Flow

Microsoft has made our lives easier this year with the Flow Automation service, which works in the same way as IFTTT. The service is able to interact with social networks, cloud storage and, of course, the company's products like Office 365.

Unlike IFTTT, Flow is more aimed at the corporate audience and attracts with its tight integration with professional tools such as Salesforce, MailChimp and many others.

Scrivener

If you are serious about writing on a Mac, then Scrivener should be familiar to you. This awesome tool is now available on iPhone and iPad. This allows you to start or continue working no matter where the inspiration hits you.

With the app, it's easy not only to write down, but also to structure all your thoughts. That being said, Mobile Scrivener has almost all the features of the desktop version.

Proud

The creators of this minimalistic task manager aimed at solving such problems of a modern person as high workload, lack of motivation and stress.

Tasks are divided into current, future and completed. The application actively uses gestures that allow you to interact with projects. There is also a timer for concentration and a super-strength button for dealing with stress, which includes instructions with breathing techniques.

H _ _ r

A very unusual tool that will help you focus on work even in the noisiest and most inappropriate places for this. With the help of augmented reality technology, H _ _ r changes the surrounding sounds in accordance with the selected presets and, as it were, transports you away from the noisy rush.

The key difference from other applications is that the sounds are changed, and not muted. However, you better hear it yourself.

Doo

Doo Task Manager increases your chances of completing your scheduled tasks. After all, this is precisely the main problem. This goal is achieved with the help of visualization in the form of cards and the automatic addition of beautiful illustrations to each task. Agree that stacks of cards are easier to read than long lists. We did the job, closed the card, moved on to the next one.

Timelogger

Timelogger increases productivity by meticulously tracking the time spent on each project. The application helps you understand what and how much you are working on during the day. With detailed statistics, export options and a handy widget, the tool is perfect for freelancers and remote workers.

One Big Thing App

Another motivation-focused task manager that helps you achieve big goals. Each morning, you should set one really important goal for the day and add a few small steps to get you closer to achieving it. Such a simple ritual is proposed to be repeated every day. It seems too corny, but it really works.

Timeglass

Productivity always means tight time control, which is why a timer is considered the perfect tool for achieving any goal. With Timeglass, you can easily create timers that contain multiple nested timers with customizable names and signals. The app will help you exercise, cook, meditate, reinforce good habits, and more.

Alto

AOL's new email client saves you time by focusing on content. Alto sorts the contents of your inbox using smart filters and presents it in a convenient way by categories "Photos", "Files", "Shopping", "Travel", "Social" and so on.

Alto stores ticket reservations, hotels, delivery times and other important information on the quick access panel in the form of cards, where it also displays a brief weather report.
