A July update to my current gear and software:
macOS
- Task Manager - GoodTask + Reminders - GoodTask is still my favorite task manager as it integrates with Reminders and can be as powerful as I want it to be (very customizable).
- Text Editor - Nova + BBEdit - Depending on the situation, I am switching between Nova and BBEdit…both are great applications.
- 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 / iPadOS
- Reddit App - Apollo - Since Apollo is now gone due to Reddits very developer-hostile API changes, this app has been retired since 6/30. If you want to still support the developer, head over to Apollo Website, as this app was a nice chunk of his income.
- Podcast App - Mimir - Fantastic support and the app works really well (it helps the app is a part of Setapp, too). 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
- 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
- Recipe Manager - Mela
- RSS Reader - Reeder
- Read Later Application - Reeder
- Email Application - Mail.app
- Quick Note App - Tot
- Note Taking App - Obsidian - I might be moving over to just utlizing Tot, for now, and using something like iA Writer when I need to write long articles in markdown.
- Mastodon Application - Ivory - After moving most of my social media presence to Mastodon and Facebok, Ivory has become my go-to application on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
