8 free Android productivity apps I can’t live without in 2026
My current favorite apps for getting things done.
In 2026, here are eight free Android productivity apps the author relies on for daily tasks, ranging from note-taking to time-tracking and project management. Notesnook, an open-source note-taking app, offers end-to-end encryption, rich-text editing, attachments, tables, checklists, and organizational features like notebooks, folders, tags, and colors—all within its free plan.
Obsidian, on the other hand, serves as a personal knowledge base for storing structured and permanent notes, with a customizable interface and plugins like Bases, Graph View, and Excalidraw. TickTick, a to-do app with a free tier, offers features like text formatting, attachments, checklists, subtasks, tags, comments, Smart Recognition, and recurrent tasks.
Trello, a project management app, tracks tasks for clients and personal projects using a Kanban-style workflow, custom fields, subtasks, and filters. Toggl Track, a time-tracking app, simplifies logging work hours and task details with a timer, auto-tracker, and calendar view for monthly summaries. Airtable, a database app, stores structured data in a board format, allowing users to create and analyze data with various views.
Finally, Raindrop.io, an all-in-one bookmark manager, saves web articles, images, and videos for future reference, organized by tags or collections.
