What are My Top 8 Most Used Apps?
I have an extensive list of apps that I use in my daily life, that help keeps me organized and entertained. It was so many that I think that this post would be too long to read. So I narrow it down to my top 8 apps based on what Apple and my PC says. I won’t include my internet browsers in the list given that some apps don’t have a PC app. Between my iPad, iPhone and laptop, I spend a good number of hours within a lot of these apps.
1. Twitch
Twitch has a number of unimaginable hours that I have put into watching people stream. For the most part of the day, Twitch is open for some reason. Twitch has become cable TV for me. This is where I get a good amount of entertainment from. I spend most of my waking hours watching Twitch. Twitch is somewhat like YouTube, there is something for everybody. I personally just watch GTA RP (NoPixel), Apex, Overwatch, and Valorant. There are times that I watch whatever my favorite streamers are playing because they are entertaining to watch.
2. YouTube
YouTube is everything you need to watch on the internet, all in one, that one-stop-shop for your interests. From entertainment, learning, traveling, and news, YouTube has it all. My main usage for YouTube used to be music videos, then it went to gaming videos to learn how to code and productivity.
3. Spotify
Although I can’t escape the ads, my go-to music app is Spotify. I sometimes hate the desktop app but I wouldn’t choose any other music app over it (Maybe Apple Music). I can’t work without music going. Music keeps my energy up.
4. Discord
I can’t mention Twitch with GTA RP without mentioning the hub for all the tea. I only actively read one Discord channel. The rest are just because. I don’t really communicate with Discord but I use it like most people use Twitter. I’m mostly scrolling through to see what happened. When I can’t watch Twitch, Discord is the play by play update.
5. GoodNotes
Having an Apple Pencil has made me want GoodNotes. Then GoodNotes became free to use without purchasing it. It’s great. I am convinced to buy GoodNotes in the future. The reason for GoodNotes over CollaNote is the ability to add to an existing notebook with PDFs. A lot of what I do is adding other PDFs together to make one notebook. It’s really the feature that CollaNotes needs otherwise it would have been here instead of GoodNotes.
6. Google Calendar and Google Drive
With a Google account, my go-to cloud storage is Google Drive. It comes with 15 GB of storage and takes is enough a reasonable amount of storage for me. I can access it from my phone, computer, or iPad.
I think that I only use Google Calendar for convenience because of all of Google’s apps. Having a Google account gives you access to a large range of apps for free so I take advantage of everything being in one place.
7. Mem
Mem is a new app that I found. It acts as a replacement for Clover, which they are somewhat the same for a least what I used it for. Mem has turned into my permanent note taking space. The closes app to that is like Mem is probably Roam. Mem has some ways to go but I am committed to using it for note taking verse using Notion.
8. Notion
Notion is my hub for all management. I keep everything in Notion from notes to project management. I keep an in-depth wiki for the things that are important in my life. Notion is where most of my links and bookmarks and in-depth lists live. I write and organize my entire blog in Notion.
