To make sure you accomplish your New Year’s resolutions for 2025, it’s better to choose them wisely and, most importantly, get some help. Let yourself be coached by these 5 apps we’ve handpicked just for you, and you’ll stick to your promises, even the most difficult ones!
Become smarter—Yes, it’s possible
Your brain is like your hamstrings. You feel like it works on its own, and when it gets stuck, you just wait for it to pass. Not so! Just like the muscles at the back of your thighs, your brain can be strengthened at any age. If going back to school isn’t part of your New Year’s resolutions for 2025, but you want to become Einstein, Impulse is made for you.
This brain-training game offers a daily, fun program to engage your memory, math skills, or language abilities. Instead of crushing your score on Candy Crush, you can even test your IQ, anxiety levels, or personality type. In addition to being highly rated, the app is available in both free and paid versions (starting at €6.99), and we recommend the paid option to avoid too many annoying ads.

Love yourself, because it’s essential
“I think, therefore I am” was fine in Descartes’ time, but four centuries later, it’s time to move on. One of your resolutions for 2025 should now be: “I think, therefore I love myself.” And if repeating “I am beautiful, I am amazing, I am the best” in front of your mirror is no longer enough, it’s because you need a little help. What could be more practical than seeing your daily positive affirmation pop up on your screen, specially customized for you?
This is the effective and charming principle of the app I Am, with its lovely zen and slightly mystical “beo-tarot”design. This gentle digital coach is designed to bring out the best in you. Like a friend who’s always with you, the app infuses positive thoughts into your mind to boost your self-confidence and help you achieve your goals. It offers several subscription plans, from €5.99 per month to a lifetime commitment (€99.99).
Impress people at art shows, in front of your mother-in-law, or your boss
Have you heard of Daily Art? This app is currently THE favorite of 2 million people who want to perfect their art knowledge. To keep your New Year’s resolutions for 2025, let’s trust Time Magazine and Business Insider, who’ve been praising it for a while. Since you’re not a bookworm and Google Arts & Culture painfully reminds you of the research you had to do in college, Daily Art has got it all figured out.
This app offers (yes, it’s free) a new artwork to discover each day, with just the right amount of info. With summaries of their significance and importance in the art world, soon Impressionism or abstract art won’t hold any secrets for you. A small but valuable bonus: you can dive into iconic works and art locations in cities like Rome, Paris, or Kyoto. Besides the city search, Daily Art also caters to your more secret preferences, including “cute little cats.”
Available on Android and iOS
Have an answer for everything, because the future is in knowing how to predict it
Hold on to your couch or office chair because we’re stepping it up. Are you interested in astrology, auras, and the influence of waves on our lives, but without fully buying into it? This app will reconcile you with your New Age nature, as in our 2025 resolutions, we’ve decided to embrace it! Why not be a little witchy too—no offense to the Inquisition and masculinists, but we just read Mona Chollet.
The Stella app is based on Human Design, a clever mix of ancient and contemporary sciences. From chakra theory to genetics, through the Kabbalah and astrological charts, Stella analyzes your body pattern. This helps define which of the four energetic types you belong to: are you more like Frida Kahlo or Beyoncé? Based on this energy, tests and exercises guide you in your choices, mood fluctuations, and teach you how to master them. In short, this app offers keys to better anticipate the future through a deeper understanding of yourself. Human Design: Stella offers several affordable subscription options with regular promotions, such as an annual access for €24.99.
