keep your body hydrated and to reach your daily and weekly goals. How do you know what your goal is, I hear you asking. Well, Waterminder does that for you, too. When you first launch the app, it’ll ask you a few details about yourself, including your height and weight. Once you enter that in, Waterminder will tell you how much water you need to drink per day. Afterward, the app will keep reminding you to drink water throughout the day. Once you’ve had water, you can enter the amount you drank, and you’ll see your progress bar go up. The notifications can get a bit annoying, and you’ll receive them even seconds after you just enter the amount of water you drank, but they do make you remember you need to drink water. Another great thing about Waterminder is that you actually feel you’re making progress. The app shows an animation of your body getting filled by the water you drink, which motivates you to keep drinking. 2. Streaks The new year is just starting, and some of us are already behind on our New Year’s resolutions. If you’re like me, you might need to take a look at Streaks. There’s no better way to make a habit stick than doing it every day, and Streak is meant to help you with that. You can keep track of up to twelve tasks that you want to do every day or create negative tasks that you want to get rid of. Just like Waterminder, Streaks will remind you to complete a task throughout your day, and you can easily enter a task once you’ve finished it. The best part is that Streaks connects with Apple Health, and it’ll automatically know when you finished a task by looking at your Apple Health data. To be honest, the app isn’t the prettiest-looking out there, but it does get the job done. Overall, Streaks is very easy to use, especially on your Apple Watch, which makes it even easier to stick to your daily goals. 1. Moodistory Of course, tracking your physical health is important, but your emotional health is just as important to track. And Moodistory is a great tool for that. With Moodistory, you can easily create a daily journal of your thoughts and emotions using your Apple Watch. You can track how you feel every day and start seeing patterns of your daily moods to do detects what makes you happy and keep doing that, or avoid situations that are bad for your mental and emotional health. If you want, you can also check your entries on your iPhone and even turn them into a PDF file so you can take a better look at your daily mood.
