It’s been two years since I published the default apps I use after listening to Hemispheric Views #97 - Duel of the Defaults. A year later, I published a delta listing the changes I’ve made since that original list. Now that Cup Day is here, it’s time for the update no-one asked for.
Like last year, I’ll simply list the changes. You can see the original list of defaults here.
- Notes: The perennial category, apparently. 😀 I’m all in on Obsidian now, for all notes for work and my personal life, opting to pay for the 10 vault plan, which will become relevant for later categories. Only exception is Google Keep for my shopping lists.

- To-do: Obsidian too.
- Bookmarks: I still have that Linkding instance running on Pikapods, but I haven’t been using that as often as I had been. I tend to use Micro.blog’s Bookmarks feature for this now.
- Presentations: It’s two years and counting since I had to make a presentation. But it’s still iA Presenter, as I’m still paying for it.
- Social Clients: I’ve pulled away from the fediverse a little but I still use Micro.blog to follow Mastodon accounts. I have been spending more time perusing BlueSky, but I don’t want to get into the habit of spending too much time on the socials, so I simply use the browser for that.
- Music: Alto, my own music app, is still my primary music player. I’m no longer using Spotify, electing for YouTube music when I want to stream something. But lately, I’ve been buying most of my music on Qobuz and Bandcamp.
- Weather: Still using the Bureau of Meterology website, but wow, their recent redesign is a shocker. Fortunately the domain for their registered users, which has all the public pages, has been left untouched for now.
- Journalling App: Obsidian. This is where that 10 vault plan comes in handy.
