App Defaults

I have encountered this trend for noting down one’s “app defaults” a few times now, the latest from Manu. I always enjoy reading about the services others use. This time, I wanted to contribute to the list.

• Notes: Notion / Keep Notes
• To-Do: Tick Tick
• Photo Shooting: Samsung Camera App
• Photo Management: Google Photos (+ Snapseed for basic processing)
• Calendar: Google Calendar
• Cloud File Storage: Dropbox
• RSS: Reeder (with iCloud)
• Contacts: Google Contacts

PS: Robb has created a website where you can see all the posts from others listing their app defaults. It’s a nice collection!
