New Year’s Resolutions? These apps will help you achieve these goals

The year 2024 begins, which means an opportunity to set or rethink goals that can range from the simplest to the most complex, such as becoming more organized or having tools to manage stress and anxiety. And on your smartphone you can install those applications that help you fulfill your New Year’s resolutions.

It’s not difficult if you install the right apps, like the five we recommend below: ELSA, Strava, Todoist, CapCut And Calm. Find out what each one is about.

ELSA: improve your English pronunciation

If you want to hone your pronunciation and expand your English vocabulary, one interesting platform for this is ELSA (Angel Language Speech Assistant) with hundreds of lessons and topics ranging from travel tips to job interviews. One of its best features is that it allows you to practice different words and phrases: once you hear them, repeat them (you are graded and can listen to your recording to learn how to improve). The development will also help you pass IELTS, TOEFL and TOEIC exams. It’s free to use, but the full feature set is achieved when you sign up for one of their paid plans.

Strava: new outdoor adventures

Is it time to resume physical activity? Do you prefer running, cycling or hiking? No problem, Strava tracks over 30 different sports and its community is ready to support you when you need it most. Some of its standout features include recommending the most popular routes based on your preferences, recording workouts so you can measure your progress, compatibility with other sports apps and smartwatches, and monthly challenges. Access to the platform is free, and there is also a subscription that gives access to advanced features.

Todoist: Organizing on a different level

Organization is the key to achieving both personal and work goals, right? Therefore, having an application like Todoist on your smartphone becomes relevant. It not only attracts attention due to its attractive and modern design on the various platforms on which it is available, but also because it has tools that make it almost impossible for you to miss anything important. It can be linked to services like Slack or Gmail, allowing you to collaborate on projects of any size and easily identify the most important tasks. All its features are available when you subscribe to the Pro plan.

CapCut: Professional-level video editing

This is the “sister” of TikTok, since both are owned by ByteDance. The cool thing about CapCut is that it allows you to edit your videos with endless tools, from adding transitions to effects, including tracks, sounds, stickers, filters, and formats. But don’t be scared, you don’t need to be a professional in this field to use it. The best thing about mobile development is that it is free and allows you to export your creation in different resolutions to share it on the social network of your choice.
