Loving this thread!
Here's mine:
- 1Writer - lovely little markdown app
- IceCubes - for Mastodon (Havn't seen a better mastodon client yet, not even Ivory)
- Element X - A swift rewrite of element, the matrix client (though not yet feature complete but on a great way)
- Amperfy - A subsonic client to stream music from any subsonic server (like navidrome)
- Voyager - The sexiest lemmy client I've found so far
Thumbs up for Voyager. Very close to Apollo.
macOS: iTerm - terminal emulator Alfred - application launcher (and a lot more) Spark - email client DevonThink - finder replacement FuzzyTime - show time in menu bar rounded by 5 minutes Bartender - organize menu bar LosslessSwitcher - automatically switch sample rate and but depth based on music playing SoundSource - easily control sound input/output and levels PDFExpert - PDF editor Reeder - RSS reader Affinity Creative Suite - Rastor/Vector/Photo/Print enditor
iOS: Timepage/Actions - Calendar and task manager Marvis Pro - Apple Music client Authenticator - FOSS authentication app MusicSmart - lists details of songs and albums not otherwise mentioned or credited Aftership - simple and free shipment tracker Carrot Weather - A great weather app PCalc - a customizable calculator Overcast - a better podcast player
iPadOS: Mela - Recipe browser and ingredient checklist maker Procreate - iPad 2D art at its best Affinity Photo - Great port of a really powerful photo editor PDFExpert - Edit PDFs but with the addition of an Apple Pencil and little niceties as well as good for note taking all in one space.
What would you say makes Marvis Pro superior to the built in app? For $10 I want to make sure it’s worth it.
The first and foremost thing for me is aesthetics. I love being able to customize all of the colors and blur effects and button layout. Additionally, I like the gesture support within the UI. Lastly, I love how it integrates with Last.fm so all of my scrobbles are synced up without needing to scan.
I would not consider it a must have, but it makes so many quality of life improvements for apple music listeners.

Don't ask why it's my favorite. If you know the story, you'll know why.
Remind Me Faster - a little tool that helps you to quickly add reminders to the native Reminders app. Very useful for power users of the reminders app.
Habitica is kind of fun if you’re looking to gamify your to-do list.
Notion- notes, todos, project management Libby and Hoopla- ebooks, eaudioBooks, comics Goodnotes- more note taking (but a lot of people use this for digital bullet journaling) Procreate- art Things- honestly amazing task management, but I felt like I needed something available on pc or web for work, goes great with Bear which I saw someone else suggest. Ice cubes- mastodon Avelon- lemmy
Cryptomator (Encryption for cloud services integrated into Files app)
Bring! (Shared shopping list)
Calendar 366 (Alternative calendar with monthly view)
Crouton (Shared recipe book)
Crouton
How well does it do with doubling (or halving) recipes? I use Paprika 3 now, which handles it very well… but it lacks in the sharing department.
It can scale the recipe to 0,25x, 0,5x and up to 10x.
I also enjoy the import feature via browser share sheet. Works well for most recipe sites and helps to permanently safe your favorite recipes in one place.
As a prior Bring user I can recommend the new Shared Reminder Lists in iOS!
We actually use shared reminders, but not for grocery shopping. Bring! is easy to use with its icons and custom sorting by category.
Not trying to convert you, but Reminders now has a shopping list mode with custom categories. But i sometimes miss the icons etc from Bring
Thanks, I’ll give it a try
