I’ve been reviewing apps monthly throughout 2025, and it’s time to crown my favorites across five categories.

Productivity: Notion

While Craft had an incredible year with new features like tasks and collections, Notion takes the top spot as the best all-around productivity app. Notion AI and Agents now make setup effortless, and everything integrates seamlessly—from notes to tasks to newsletters.

Utilities: 1Password

Still the best password manager and secure notes solution. Apple Passwords just doesn’t compare.

Entertainment: Snipd

Automatically save podcast snippets and sync them to Readwise. Perfect for staying on top of your favorite shows.

Health: Athlytic

My daily go-to for sleep tracking and recovery metrics. Great price, excellent features.

Camera: Halide

A buy-once option with affordable subscription features and a developer team that consistently delivers quality apps.
