14 apps that will help you stick to your New Year's resolutions by Biz Carson on Jan 1, 2016, 10:59 AM Advertisement
 Most people struggle to keep their New Year's resolutions — it wouldn't require a resolution, after all, if it were easy to do. Thankfully, there are apps to help you keep on track. We combed through Apple and Google's list of the best apps of the year, along with Business Insider's own reviews and Tech Insider's App 100, to pull together a list of 14 apps that will help you reach your goals a little faster. SEE ALSO: The 11 most beautiful apps of the year First, start by making a list of your New Year's resolutions on Wunderlist.  Wunderlist is the best to-do tracker out there. Acquired by Microsoft earlier this year, the free app keeps a running list of what you need to do. But each item is more detailed than a simple check box. You can set sub-tasks to check off along the way, like "buy new yoga pants" or "sign up for the gym." There's also a reminder feature so you can make sure you're checking off items as you work towards your goals. One of the best parts of Wunderlist is being able to invite other people to be collaborate on your list. If your resolution is to travel more, then you can invite someone else on Wunderlist to help you plan a trip. If you want to get more organized, then inviting your significant other to take part in the household to-do list (and set reminders so the tasks get done) is a big boost in the New Year. Price: Free Available on: iOS, Android, and Kindle Fire. It's also available for desktops.
Also make sure you have a great calendar app, like Sunrise, to schedule time for your resolutions. Those pounds won't melt away themselves.  The default calendar app on your phone probably doesn’t cut it. Sunrise, which is also owned by Microsoft, is a more helpful version of a calendar that you didn't even know you needed. It integrates with Facebook, Evernote, Asana, TripIt, Songkick, Wunderlist, and Meetup to help add the little details to your schedule that eventually add up — and would push out the time you've set aside to tackle your goals. Price: Free
Available on: iOS, Android
To lose weight, try talking to Lark, a virtual personal health coach.  Named one of Apple's top apps of the year, Lark uses a mix of artificial intelligence and human experts to help people lose weight and get fit. The app uses a simple chat interface so it feels like you're texting a personal trainer, but it doesn't rely on you to enter every single calorie or activity you've consumed in the day. In the background, Lark uses the iPhone sensors to know how much you've been moving or how long you slept. Just tell Lark what you had to eat and it will give you nutrition coaching based on your goals and past eating habits. Price: Free
Available on: iOS, Android
