App Defaults

I’ve never developed a habit of blogging, but there’s been a recent trend of sharing default apps. I’m glad for a reason to try out weblog.lol, so here’s my list:

All of a sudden it is all over my RSS feeds, people blogging about the default apps they use for most of their online activities. OK, so yeah… this is apparently a thing and of course I can’t be left behind! Ever since the early days of blogging (The shrouded secrets of the past, lores of yore…) these list have existed and it’s always great fun to peruse through them. Robb Knight is collecting a list of those who have participated.

Here are my defaults in 2023. Personal and professional separated where necessary. I also added one aspirational app for 2024…

Some background on this post: I saw Manuel Moreale’s list earlier today and thought it was a neat little idea. After a bit of digging, it’s actually a neat big idea with over 120 others sharing their own. So, here’s mine, with a couple adjustments.

I rely heavily on Apple’s services but switch to alternatives (and back) often. For example, I recently switched back to Apple Music and Podcasts from Spotify, to Apple Reminders from Todoist, and to Apple Notes from Obsidian.

28 |

Other notable, recent switches include going from Raindrop and Pocket (don’t ask) to Instapaper for reading later, and Notion to Outgoings for tracking my subscriptions.

Of course I’m joining the latest trend. Unlike the social media trends this one seems healthy – or at least not un-healthy. I’m late to the party.

My defaults are very default, but that’s no surprise for folks who read previous posts or just know me.

These are the default apps I use in the various categories across iOS and Linux.

I use a bit of a mix of Google/Apple products - not sure how I feel about that. I think a lot of them went over to Apple after I got an iphone. plan to get an android again next year so maybe this list will need adjusting as i go through 2024. So, here’s my list of default apps.

最近到年底，有看到大家在竞相分享自己的「年度默认应用」，我也来凑个热闹。我一直在这里记录自己的使用列表，但是有点长；以下是我当下，也就是 2023 年度的更精简的版本。

I have encountered this trend for noting down one’s “app defaults” a few times now, the latest from Manu. I always enjoy reading about the services others use. This time, I wanted to contribute to the list.

3 | 30 |

PS: Robb has created a website where you can see all the posts from others listing their app defaults. It’s a nice collection!

Before I share my list: am I the only one who thinks of this song when seeing people post their list? (it’s okay if it’s only me, really. At least I’ve made you listen to one of my favourite songs!)

4 |

First heard from @maique about Duel of the Defaults and then started reading all defaults posts and had to make mine too.

5 |

I did add a category, because I’m a reader 😀

6 |

Oh and I annotate. A lot. Not going to apologise for that!

Tracy D. brought this fun internet excercise to share at tonight’s HomeBrew Website Club.

The podcast Hemispheric Views did a segment on listing your default apps and then listeners weighed in with their lists: https://defaults.rknight.me/

I saw Kerri Krueger, fLaMEd, and Wouter Groeneveld list their App Defaults and, as I've recently moved to a couple of new defaults myself, thought I'd put mine down too.

Inspired by Hemispheric Views 097 - Duel of the Defaults! and blog posts by many. I would like to write my own defaults too.

I tend to use software that comes Apple natively and use one software for multiple needs, such as Apple Notes and Readwise Reader, to minimize the amount of software I need to use.

There have been a bunch of “what apps am I using?” blog posts recently, inspired by an episode of Hemispheric Views. Robb Knight has a page with links to other people’s posts.

I added a few at the end that I’ve seen other folks use even if they weren’t in the original list. There is scoring too, but I don’t understand how it works. 🙂

Hemispheric Views is one of my must listen shows and Episode 97 - Duel of the Defaults! was so much fun. The competition to score how “default” their apps were was gripping to the end. So here is mine.

4 | 31 |

I think I scored pretty high in the end.

33 | 36 |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /_wordcloud/_output/_200.html: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 |

I guess if 200 people have done it, it’s time for me to jump on the Hemispheric Views defaults bandwagon.

Thanks to Robb Knight for repeatedly posting about it to remind me, I’m also using Manton’s extended list. Unlike Robb, I’m not going to score myself.

Overall I’m a fan of sticking fairly close to the defaults on the platforms I use (Windows + iOS) simply because it usually leads to having an easier time of things. There are a couple of items on this list that probably won’t be on the list this time next year, but I’m still evaluating what their replacements might be.

It will be fun to see how this list evolves over the years.

Inspired by Hemispheric Views Duel of the Defaults - episode 097 and the many App Defaults entries collected by Robb.

Here is my list for the Duel. Slowly moving back to defaults where I can to try and reduce subscription fatigue.

Guess I’ll join in the Duel of the Defaults 😄 I’ve held off since it seemed that most people were iOS users and I’m a Windows/Linux gal. But so many others have joined in and the list was fun to put together.

Update - 2023-11-20

The post sparkled a few reactions in the Geminispace and elsewhere to share here apart from the automatically collected mentions (I’ll write about that at some point soon). It is fun to read these posts to learn about peoples set ups and approaches to “personal computing”.

I'm seeing so many create their own list of default apps with Rob Knight's encouragement. Robb is the one who started this thing. For your consideratio, I hereby offer my defaults (in no particular order).

In case it's not apparent, like Cory Dransfeldt, for the most part, I'm pretty much all in on Google.

    This is easy blogging fodder, and I’m taking it. A bunch of folks are blogging about what apps they use, connected to Hemispheric Views podcast episode. I’ve done this in the past for interesting apps I use daily, but for a lot of these apps, I consider the choices boring and not deeply considered. But perhaps that makes it interesting.

    刷RSS看到了别人参加App Defaults活动的文章，和我每个季度整理的个人工具库非常接近，不过这个只包括软件，主要是博客作者们的主力软件清单。看别人的默认软件很有趣，也能得到一些启发，所以自己也参加一下，供他人参考。

    On episode 097 of Hemispheric Views, the crew had a “Duel of the Defaults!”, where the reigning champion user of the default applications provided by Apple, Martin Feld was challenged by up and comer Jason Burk, hosted and judged by Andrew Canion.

    I’m a little late to the party with this, but having just discovered this yesterday, I am enjoying reading through all the defaults that others use. (The list is still being updated.) The cool thing is that reading through these caused me to rethink some of the default apps I use and why I use them, and as such, I could not resist jumping on the bandwagon to share my list of defaults as my first post of 2024.

    4 |

    First, in terms of the hardware that the default apps listed below are used on, while I have an iMac that now runs Linux Mint with the XFCE desktop environment and while I occasionally use my wife's old Surface Laptop 3, my main computing device remains an iPhone 11 that is now over four years old. While an iPhone 15 Plus is intriguing because of the newer hardware and larger screen, I don’t see any need to replace it just yet.

    Everybody is making lists of the default apps they use in 2023. Being an inveterate trend-hopper, why should I be left behind?

    If you want to see more, Robb Knight is collecting these lists on App Defaults.

    Following in the footsteps of others far more knowledgable than I, here’s all the boring default apps I use on a daily basis.

    4 | 25 | As you can see I look like I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Apple Fangirl. But far from the truth, I'm actually just lazy. Why go looking for something else when Apple gave me all this stuff included in the price of my machine? So yeah, I tend to use the built-in default for most things. 26 |

    Anyway, thanks for checking out my rather dull default apps list! If you’d like to share yours, I’d love to see it.

    I was checking my RSS feed a while back and I came across a bunch of posts documenting the default apps, which got me jumping into the fun too.

    3 |

    The trend is basically inspired by a pod-radio-show and somebody is maintaining a list of people who are joining in as well.

    4 |

    So here’s my list:

    Everyone (it seems) is posting their app defaults lists, so I thought to join the party as well.

    6 | 28 |

    There are a lot of Apple apps and services, a side effect of using macOS and iOS as main OSs. I hope to improve on that someday.

    I recently came across folks sharing their “default” apps. The first I saw was Kev Quirk, and from there I found the “master list.”

    What is the best way to restart a blog if not by joining a recent trend in blogosphere for fun.

    4 |

    I first saw this on Kev Quirk's blog, but it all started with "Duel of the Defaults!" episode of Hemispheric Views podcast:

    5 |

    I'm an avid Emacs user, so it appears more than once in the list. The original list of categories doesn't include coding, for which I obviously also use Emacs when possible 😛. It is my default app for almost all text related tasks. But for many other categories, I really just use default apps.

    6 |

    So, here are the apps I use:

    7 | 33 |

    And some extra categories not mentioned in the podcast:

    34 | 40 |

    So because of Hemispheric Views 097, now people are posting their defaults, I guess it’s time for me too!

  • Why AI Doomerism is Flawed and Misguided

    The Internet favors simple opinions, meaning we're stuck between AI dommers and e/acc people. And yet the most urgent and interesting questions relate not to its potential capacity to kill us all, but rather mundane things.

  • Communicating with Numbers

    If you can find a figure that makes your business more appealing than competitors, you should run with it.

  • Does Blogging Even Work?

    Blogging is still the most reliable way of broadcasting your thoughts without being at the whims of someone’s algorithm.

  • Why Superhuman Is Worth $30

    I pay $30 a month for my email client. And I think it’s worth it because it’s excellent and there aren’t many alternatives, unfortunately.

  • Uber is Good, Actually

    A conventional taxi is similar to a tourist-trap restaurant that you will never visit again. Uber leverages technology to become an arbiter between you and the collective of drivers so they can provide a better service.

    I discovered on Mastodon this trend to share your default apps and that’s typically something that I couldn’t resist to join ! The original idea comes from Gabz and Robb Knight and he even created a page to list others default apps.

    5 |

    So here is my list of my default apps, a lots of Apple apps and some self-hosted webapps :

    Remember when memes like this spread on blogs? This is how the cool kids did it back in the day. Anybody still blogging regularly is a possible cool kid, if they aren't an asshole. Kev is not an asshole, and he inspired this post.

    3 |

    The emojis were not working for me so I deleted them all.

    Seeing this all over the place, including Matt Fantinel’s blog so figured why not add it mine as well riffing on Matt’s list and others.

    3 |

    Like Matt noted I’ve also tried quite a few applications but in the last couple of months have finally settled on tools, the list being the ones I just end up coming back to over and over again.

    Of course I was going to contribute to this blogging trend, just had to find some headspace to write them down. I first heard it on one of my favourite podcasts – Hemispheric views but since then it’s become a bit of a trend, which is great to see in 2023!

    3 |

    Here’s a few that came across in my feeds: Devon Dundee, Matt Birchler and Andy.

    4 |

    So, here’s mine 😀

    Episode 097 of the Hemispheric Views podcast held a fun Duel of the Defaults! competition.

    4 |

    Here’s my list. I’ve really shifted to defaults over the past year. I’m conflicted about this: I really like a good indie app, yet find my needs don’t justify the complexity of using non-defaults.

    Inspired by Hemispheric Views 097 - Duel of the Defaults! and others in the community, I thought I would post a list of defaults.

    Rob Knight has a wonderful collection of people who are sharing what their default applications are.

    This recent trend has been popping up lately in my RSS feed, so I decided to join. If you like it, check Robb Knight’s list of App Defaults blog posts. Here’s the list:

    I saw this post on Matt Birchler's awesome blog and thought I'd join in the fun.

    It's interesting to look back on these a few years down the road and see how much/little has changed.

    After seeing this on Kev Quirks blog, I thought I would do the same. According to him, all the “cool kids” are doing it. I think my list is pretty solid right now, minus I’m toying with trying some other streaming services for music. If I think of anything else I’ll add it.

    I read this article about default app choices by Robb Knight and thought it sounded fun. I’ve listed all the apps I use in various categories. (This doesn’t account for work, where the answer is “insert Google product here”, when I don’t get a choice.)

    Apparently there's currently a thing where people share their preferred and default apps. Check out the podcast that sparked the interest and the website by Rob, who is keeping a list of posts by others.
