Log your daily intake into the corresponding VeSync app to set and track nutrition goals. It’s Fitbit and Apple Health compatible, too. $40, cosori.com
Reencle Home Composter
According to the EPA, U.S. households throw approximately 26.5 million tons of uneaten food into the garbage each year, accounting for up to 50% of total food waste in the country. This nifty contraption helps you recoup some of that waste, but without the mess, fuss, and odor of traditional composting systems. The three-layer system uses mixing rods and microbes to continuously break down food scraps into usable compost to fertilize your garden, lawn, houseplants, flowerbeds, and more. $499, reencle.co

It offers three modes to choose your level of automation, all accessible via the machine or xBloom app (where you can also create and store recipes for later brews). Expect café-quality pours with razor-sharp consistency, whether you’re a natural-born barista or brewing novice. $500, xbloom.com
