Defaults in 2023
I've seen quite a few people posting their app defaults inspired by Hemispheric Views 097 - Duel of the Defaults!. It's always fun to go over these because I like to find new apps and services to try out and sometimes it ends up being my default too.
I keep a list of apps and other things I use but thought this would be nice to look back to next year as a snapshot of what apps I was using in 2023.
I also recommend checking the list of default apps others are using maintained by Robb Knight.
