2023 January Load-Out

An update on my current load-out:

macOS

  • Task Manager - GoodTask + Reminders - GoodTask is still my favorite task manager as it integrates with Reminders.
  • Text Editor - Nova - Also using BBEDIT…torn between these two! (This hasn’t changed)
  • Terminal App - Terminal - It is always nice to use the built in applications as they present on all macOS devices.
  • Automation App - Hazel
  • Online Backup Service - Backblaze
  • Backup Application - Carbon Copy Cloner

iOS

  • Reddit App - Apollo
  • Podcast App - Mimir - Fantastic support and the app works really well. Mimir is now my primary podcast app and is continuously being improved.
  • Camera App - Halide - The best (IMHO) camera app on iOS.
  • Scanning App - Scan Thing
  • Document Scanning App - Notes
  • Game - Magic Arena - Too many games to list right now! I have cut down on my gaming time to focus on creating more content.

iOS and macOS

  • Twitter App - Tweetbot - I am starting to test the Spring Twitter application per a recommendation from a colleague. I am still formulating my thoughts about it!
  • Password Manager - 1Password
  • Package Tracking App - Parcel - This application was a life-saver during the holiday season in helping me keep track of gifts being shipped all over the world.
  • Calendar App - Calendar.app - I have been utilizing more of standard built-in iOS applications so BusyCal has taken a backseat for now. We will see if I return to that application or possibly Fantastical.
  • Recipe Manager - Mela
  • RSS Reader - Reeder
  • Read Later Application - Reeder
  • Email Application - Mail.app
  • Quick Note App - Tot
  • Note Taking App - Obsidian - Obsidian not only lets me take notes it functions as a task manager and many more thing due to the plugins that are available. It is also cross-platform and runs very well. I have not decided if this application will be part of my permanent workflow.
