My default apps (edition 2026)
For a long time, I had been thinking about writing a post with a list of applications that have become my go-to choices in everyday life. I tried to do it several times, but it never got beyond the planning stage.
Today, Gobino motivated (or rather inspired) me by posting a link to his list on Mastodon. I found some free time in the evening and prepared my list. Here it is.
