The holidays may bring a brief reprise from the pressures of work, but they bring with it a whole new set of stress. There are trips to organize, meals to plan, kids to entertain and family to be seen. If you’re starting to feel the pressure of the holidays, your smartphone or tablet may be the answer to help alleviate some of the stress.

Here are some free apps guaranteed to help you survive the holidays, from making your travel easier to helping check items off of your seemingly infinite to-do list. These apps will help get you through the holidays so you can focus on the things that really matter.

Songza (iOS, Android)

You’ll never have to worry about putting together the perfect music mix when you have Songza. Choose from a large selection of playlists curated by music critics, DJs, musicians and musicologists.

Tired of arguing over whether to listen to Mannheim Steamroller or Bing Crosby? Songza makes picking the perfect playlist even easier with their Music Concierge service. Just enter the day of the week and time of day and Songza will suggest playlists based on your current activity.

Songza is like having a professional DJ in your living room, so you’ll be able to stop fighting with dad about the playlist and get back to the things that matter.
