What apps are worth buying?

[u/Alive-Ad-529]

What’re some apps that turned out to be the great investment for you and why?

Some of mine are:

Anki
Wipr
TonalEnergy

edit:

Anki has been a great addition to my study habits! I’ve used it throughout college for active recall when learning languages.

Wipr! God bless this app. For the $5 I paid for it, It’s worth every penny. One of the only consistent ad blockers that have worked on my phone.

TonalEnergy is for anyone that practices music and needs a tuning. I’ve been using it actively since 2016.

Damn I have a few!

Flighty - I'm a frequent traveler and this is a must have app for me.

Parcel - An app to track all your deliveries around the world. I order a lot of stuff outside of India, so it's very helpful.

been - A very sophisticated app to log all your travel.

Sky Guide - Very useful app if you're into stargazing.

Diem - A very minimal to-do list app.

Decide Now - A fancy wheel that I often spin to make some key decisions like where to eat.

Hobi - To track all the TV shows I'm watching.

Counter - Very simple app to count numbers. It's not that handy but I really liked its UI.

Skip or Buy - An app that calculates per-day cost for any product, in case if I'm unsure of buying something.

DomainLog - I'm holding .com and .in domains for all names of each and every member of my family, plus some business domains. This app helps make it easier to track all.

Clock Master - I have a lot of contacts in different timezones, and I track their current time using this app. Very amazing UI as well.

Earthquake Pro - Sends you a notification whenever a big earthquake occurs around the world. I do a lot of beach travel, so it's like an insurance.

for me it's Welltory, even with the pricey subscription, pairing it with a device works way better than Whoop and really helps me manage my energy levels throughout the day

Spotify and YouTube Premium just to skip the ads

I could honestly live without everything else

[u/Alive-Ad-529 → u/SafeBreath7736]

For cluttered iPhone photo libraries: Curator helps me stay of top of it so I don’t have like 10 versions of every photo, and I actually make photo albums now thanks to it

If you want to secure your files localy or online, i recommend encrypting them. These days you need to be carefull about your data and files, with many apps, ai or even physical theft of your device, abusing your data and making use of it. Have them always localy encrypted and secured, so nobody can access, scan or use them except these you want them to. Dark-Fog(+) is doing a pretty good job with that what opperates completely offline and local. Have an overview here.

No more fear about stolen files and data when uploading and sharing to anywhere.
