My Defaults



This list was first published on 26 December 2024, I’ve changed what I use so much since then that I decided to post the whole list again.

some of my home screen apps

The categories are mostly cobbled together from other defaults lists with some additions of my own. And, because I’m like that, I also add where I prefer analogue over digital.
