Apps + Services

  • iCloud+ - Cloud Storage and E-mail hosting with personal domain. If you live in the Apple ecosystem you need this for the storage, but it comes with a lot more. I moved my personal domain over to iCloud for e-mail hosting and it works really well. iCloud.com even works fine when on a non apple system. You get access to all your files, photos, notes, etc.
  • Spotify - I really don’t like the Spotify app at all, but the playlists and curation are the best out there if you put in a little work. I wish they would stop pushing podcasts, I will never use this app for that.
  • Overcast - Speaking of podcasts, this has been my favorite podcast app on iOS for years. I have kept up with Pocketcasts which is also good, and the built in Apple Podcasts app has come a long way. That said, I keep going back to Overcast.
  • Inoreader - The best RSS service around.
  • Reeder - on iOS I access Inoreader with this app.
  • Instapaper - I have used a lot of Read Later apps, but for now I am using Instapaper. With Mozilla shutting down Pocket I went back and I am happy to see the app has gotten a lot of love.
  • Raindrop - My choice for saving links
  • Apple Notes - The updates over the last few years have made this a no brainer as my default notes app.
  • Apple Reminders - Same story as Notes
  • Micro.blog - Where this site is hosted!
