vi, no doubt
For me, Spotify is definitely a #1 app on my phone for the last couple of years. Once I discovered it also had podcasts, there was no way back 😅 Every year I’m waiting anxiously for the Spotify Wrapped to learn how much time I actually spent there, like 13,808 minutes this year listening to my favourite podcast, “Stuff you should know” 🙈
Another one is Blinkist. When I was a kid I was reading a lot. Like, the unhealthy amount. For example, “The Chronicles of Narnia” series (roughly 900 pages in my edition) in 2 days (48 hours, I’m not sure I even slept). I long lost the skill, but I still love books, and I love to learn new things, new concepts, and here Blinkist comes in handy. It has summaries (either text or audio versions) of books, enough to give you “food for thought”, and hook you. If I like the summary, I bookmark the book and later find/buy the full version to read 📚
And of course, I wouldn’t be honest if I didn’t mention any social media platforms. Telegram, for staying in touch with my family who’s over 1,800 km (1,200 miles) away. And Instagram, my haven of calm and peace in these stress-inducing times. Sometimes it’s good to just let yourself enjoy some funny cat and dog videos and reset 🐾
Day by day I use two specific mobile apps for my personal/work productivity.
First position is “X” (aka. Twitter), because the most recently news you can see there instantly, and the second position is Slack for work productivity.
Favorite Apps:
Spotify/YouTube Music on my laptop
ChatGPT (help rewrite emails)
Phone:
Life 360
Nest (control my thermostat and look at my front door)
GroupMe (messaging different people)
Udisc (Disc Golf app)
SwingVision (Tennis app)
Facebook (for social and for interacting with a workout group I am in)
BeReal (so I can see what my kids are doing)
Snapchat (only to interact with my kids)
Gmail
List can go on and on

I also like SwingVision, very good apps for tennis ![]()
Especially with an iwatch ! 😀
As an basketball player I’m a fit freak ![]()
I need to supply my body with relevant diet and great amount of nutrition.
So like DT monitoring application I monitoring my body with fitatu app.
For me its HealthFit - which is basically like an offline Strava (which I also like and use) giving you details on all your Trainings and Fitness activity you have stored in AppleHealth, but no need to upload everything.
yes sir. I played last night and other guy asked score when serving and i could just look at my watch. Of course, it always assumes you keep up with it
Once in a while, I have forgotten to update my watch.
Discord and Foundry Virtual Tabletop (I guess I can call that an app) are great for playing games and staying connected via voice chat with friends from all over the world <3.
And, of course, if you work in IT you will at least own one (or way more) authenticator apps.
Definitely Discord for me. Tons of awesome tech, fantasy football, and gaming communities. I use Discord for networking and connecting with people who share the same interests and hobbies.
Hello,
As i usually don’t have time to read a full book, so i use Storytel. the best option for audiobooks 😊
I’m a VI girl! forever! it’s the most powerful text editor available and by commands! And let’s not talk about vim hahahahaha
Obsessed, very good to have it always at hand.
My favorite Apps that I use daily:
- MS Teams
- Samsung Health
- BodyFast: Intermittent Fasting
I like ChatGPT it has made my life easy, and I also enjoy using Botim for its free unlimited calling feature
Authenticator app to enable Authentcation in a secured way…
[Android, sorry Apple fans]
Aegis - 2FA, works with most, e.g Google Auth, except orgs that require the proprietary MS Auth.
Nunchuk bitcoin wallet (not your key, not your coin - n’est pas)
FairMail email client, hand-in-hand with OpenKey for PGP
Squawker - X client (used to have built-in guest accounts until recently)
NewPipe - Youtube client. Anonymous view without ads! Isn’t this enough to make you switch from Apple ![]()

I’m always on the lookout for an Android GTD/Task-manager app - any suggestions? I used to use “Things” in my Apple days…
My favourite desktop app is probably Slack and I use it for work purposes. It allows me to quickly connect with colleagues.
When it comes to mobile apps, I think one of my favourites is Instagram. I’ve been using it since about 2011, I think back then it was only available for iOS, so I had it installed on my iPod Touch. However, my iPod didn’t have a camera, so when I wanted to take a picture to post on the app, I’d use my dad’s iPod. He had a newer version with a built-in camera. The quality of the photos wasn’t the best, but using Instagram filters was a huge thing back then (especially if you were a teenager at the time 😂).
Nowadays, people use the app for many different purposes, unfortunately mostly for marketing, however I still like to use this app as a diary, so that I can look back at photos of good memories ![]()
Below are some nostalgic photos from when I was just starting my adventure with Instagram :sweat_smile:![]()
My favorite app is Youtube, I love listening podcast in my regular activities
I love ChatGPT also!
