My Apps, 2024

Following a bit of a blogger-trend, here's the stuff I use on the daily.
I've omitted things I simply don't use, like custom launchers, podcast listeners, RSS, tracking and/or Mastodon clients;

  • Mail service: GMail
  • Tasks: Drafts in GMail
  • Cloud storage: Dropbox
  • Web browser: Chrome
  • Calendar: Google Calendar
  • Weather: BOM (Melbourne, Australia) app
  • Video: Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video
  • Music (Listening): Spotify, Spotify via Google Home and/or Chromecast
  • Music (Creation): GarageBand
  • Passwords: 1Password
  • Notes: Drafts in GMail
  • Code: Visual Studio Code
  • Terminal: Terminal.app
  • Search: Google

This list has shown me how much I depend on Google
a) not being evil; and
b) not just giving up on a product because they're bored of it
… which concerns me a little.

While it still exists though 😉, I do highly recommend the use of Drafts in GMail as your general-purpose, cross-platform notes/todo app. You can attach files of arbitrary size, they sync to everything/everywhere fast (faster than Dropbox) and it's free (free-r than Dropbox… hmmm 🤔)
