Reading
- Instapaper - I use this to aggregate articles & read. I also take advantage of the “kindle digest” option, which will send unread articles to my kindle devices.
Readwise - I use Readwise to aggreagte highlights from a variety of sources including instapaper, web & kindle. Every day I review a handful of quotes and choose to discard or <3 them.
- MyMind - I use MyMind to dump all sorts of things into. Links, memes, movies, books, etc. It isn’t perfect, but I haven’t found anything better. The dynamic spaces are also really useful, but they don’t appear to exist in the mobile version [Edit 2023-07-23: Spaces feature now exists in mobile].
Writing
- Ulysses - I use Ulysses for more serious writing. Important e-mails, blog posts, essays, etc.
- Obsidian - I love using markdown editors for simple notes. Currently, I’m using Obsidian. Previously I used Bear.
- Diarly - I recently switched to Diarly from DayOne. I opted to use Diarly instead of DayOne because it leverages iCloud storage to house Diaries instead of their own servers.
Planning/Organizing
- Things - I use this as a general to do app for both home & work.
- Habitify - For managing habits/routines. The reminders & data tracking are really wonderful.
- Anylist - I use AnyList for most list creation. Grocery lists, packing lists, moving lists, etc. The collaborative/shared lists feature is great for managing a grocery list with my wife.
