What's the first app you open when you wake up?

Question

What app do you open up first? 🛌📲

Kunal Bhatia · Accepted Answer

Technically, I shut off my alarm and close Headspace first. Right after that, I open up Product Hunt on mobile web. I like to see the board fresh (very little activity) so I can understand the value prop of each product I look at. I almost "play" this like a game.

Aishwarya Hariharan · Answer

It really REALLY bothers me when there's an unread story. I. Must. Open. All. The. Stories. Now that they've pushed out an update that shows you that someone's shared a story that you haven't seen even as you scroll down your timeline...brb. Gotta check my feed.

James Gallagher · Answer

I wake up in the morning and spend the next hour addressing messages from teams I am in, hence why I always check the app before anything else.

Kristoffer · Answer

I've been using Tweetbot for so long that it's just a habit by now, I don't even know how it compares to Twitter's own app anymore. However, I'm generally very happy with it. It's generally the last app I use before I go to sleep and the first one I check when I wake up.

I really like looking back at photos from this day however many years ago, it always brightens my day to see the things I have experienced with my friends and family, on the otherside a reminder of the dumb things I have said on twitter normally makes me cringe too!

Pavan Sethi · Answer

To wake up, you have to 1) read through your pre-set motivations 2) play a quick brain game 3) take a picture of something outside your bedroom.  Has worked wonders for me getting out of bed (except when I'm so tired that I just delete the app altogether to stop the alarm).

I have used this app for almost 4 years now! I use it to lock all my important apps and pictures. The first app I open when I woke up is AppLock because I need to unlock it before I open up any other apps. It just makes me feel really secure every day!

Alexandra Cote · Answer

Because I work for them remotely. If you're a remote worker, you might also open the app of your company as well. But second to that I open Slack and shortly after Twitter.

bazingagag · Answer

Mobile security is more and more important nowadays, that’s why I think no matter who you are, what you do. You will need an app to protect your phone!

I am using this app called ‘AppLock’, which is amazing because it can lock all of my apps, images even videos. This app is always on my list when it comes to app recommendation.

The one thing that I like the most about this app is that it can take photos of the person who’s trying to unlock your phone! This feature is really funny because I always got the intruder selfie notification from my kids. They are trying really hard to unlock my phone for video games.

If you are a cautious people, you really do need one of this app.
