Default Apps
What is the best way to restart a blog if not by joining a recent trend in blogosphere for fun.
I first saw this on Kev Quirk's blog, but it all started with "Duel of the Defaults!" episode of Hemispheric Views podcast:
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.
So, here are the apps I use:
- 📨 Mail Client: Mail.app
- 📮 Mail Server: Fastmail
- 📝 Notes: Emacs (org-roam)
- ✅ To-Do: Emacs (org-mode)
- 📷 iPhone Photo Shooting: Lock-screen button
- 🟦 Photo Management: Photos.app
- 📆 Calendar: Calendar.app
- 📁 Cloud File Storage: Apple iCloud
- 📖 RSS: Emacs (elfeed)
- 🙍🏻♂️ Contacts: Contacts.app
- 🌐 Browser: Firefox on Desktop, Safari on Mobile
- 💬 Chat: Telegram
- 🔖 Bookmarks: Firefox, Safari
- 📑 Read It Later: Emacs (org-mode)
- 📜 Word Processing: Emacs (org-mode), Google Docs
- 📈 Spreadsheets: Google Sheets

- 🍴 Meal Planning: N/A
- 💰 Budgeting and Personal Finance: N/A
