One of the most pleasant surprises about this year’s best new apps have nothing to do with AI.
While AI tools are a frothy area for big tech companies and venture capitalists, there’s plenty of app innovation happening outside of that arena, in categories such as productivity, social media, and streaming music.
As in previous years, we define apps loosely to include not only mobile software, but desktop applications, browser extensions, and app-like websites. Along with apps that are entirely new, we also look for existing ones that received significant updates in the past year.
Here are the best of the best:
Productivity
Fantastical: Formerly a first-rate calendar app for Apple devices, it’s now available for Windows as well, with natural language event creation and a pop-up calendar view available from the taskbar. (iOS, Mac, Windows)
Proton Docs: Like Google Docs, but with end-to-end encryption to ensure that no one but you (and, optionally, your collaborators) can access what you’ve written. (iOS, Android, web)
Clear: A to-do list app that’s extraordinarily pleasant to use, with colorful items and clever shortcuts such as pinch-to-close and screenshot-to-share. (iOS)
Clipbook: A simple Mac app for accessing previously-copied text or images with a keyboard shortcut, perfect for when you copy something, then copy another thing, then realize you need the original thing. Other tools like it exist, but this one’s free and easy to use—much like Windows’ built-in clipboard manager. (Mac)
Apple Passwords: With a proper Passwords app for iOS and MacOS, Apple’s password manager feels like a full-featured alternative to the likes of 1Password and Bitwarden. Just don’t hold your breath for an Android version. (iOS, Mac)
