I wish I came across this earlier in my journaling journey but it's proving to be a perfect one-stop-shop for all of my journaling. The ease of having multiple journals has encouraged me to migrate two physical journals and two digital ones here, so I have everything in one clean space. I love being able to quickly see what I was writing this day on a previous year. Love it.

There's a lot of notetaking apps so I've realized I can use multiple that I enjoy and silo them for specific purposes. Standard Notes is my replacement for sticky notes, easily accessible across devices and secure. And with it being part of Proton's family there's definitely some trust I have with my information being there relative to other newer and up and coming products.

My favorite YouTube companion - any video I watch that I consider relatively good that I might want to revisit, I send to Recall and get a nice summary and a dedicated space to take notes. Too often have I watched a video and lost whatever knowledge I got from it forever, and using Recall I hope to be able to come back to ones I've enjoyed and further develop knowledge from them. There's a lot more you can do with this app, but for this use alone it's great for me.

Still the best app for the handling of tasks and tasks alone. There's apps that do more, but they don't handle tasks with the simplicity and power of Todoist and with its affordable price point, it's a bit of a no brainer for me to keep this one around.

It's still early days for my knowledge base but this is the best app I've tried so far for the notes I want to keep permanent, as a database/wiki of my brain. One kinda fun, kinda meta use-case I've gotten out of it recently is creating a Software object for every app I use, with views to keep track of trial lengths, billing, thoughts, sort by categories etc. It feels like for this use alone it might win out other apps in the space xD
