Moms are the busiest people on the planet. For those days when balancing a career, family, and everything else in life seems like a daunting task, sometimes you could use a little help. We’ve rounded up a few apps to help you shop healthier, spend smarter and organize your 2016.

For an all-in-one mobile medical resource, this app has it all. With features like “Symptom Checker,” you can check your child’s symptoms to see if you really need help before you head to the pediatrician, saving time, money, and stress. You’ll also be able to enjoy a first-aid section, local health listings, drug warnings and other medical information right at your fingertips. Best of all–it’s free!

This app is your own personal shopping assistant. It works by scanning the barcode on any of your shopping items, with your camera, or simply searching for your items of choice for the best deals online or in stores. This app also allows you to create wish lists and price alerts to let you know when a product goes on sale or hits a certain price. ShopSavvy is also free for you to enjoy.

Finally, there is now an app that can make shopping lists, manage to-do lists, and organize the family calendar. Life can put a lot of emotional stress on busy moms, and Cozi helps to keep you organized so you can relax. This free app also allows you to set reminders for yourself so you don’t miss a thing.

Mint.com has grown to be one of the most popular websites for managing personal finance, and the app makes it even easier to use! Once you set up an account, the app automatically stays on top of your transactions, categorizes them into helpful groups so you know what you’re spending money on, and shows you how your monthly budget is going. With this free app you can manage credit cards, investments, bank accounts and much more.

Search or scan more than 60,000 products and get their safety rating by the Environmental Working Group.

Life can be a difficult balance between work, family, and, well, living. With all this technology at our fingertips, we now have help to stay organized, keep on track of our finances, and save time and money. These fuss-free apps allow you to spend less time worrying and more time with the people you love the most.
