App Defaults 2024

It’s been just shy of a year since I posted my default apps of 2023, and after seeing a few other bloggers post updates to theirs, I decided to do the same!

Overall, not much has changed, it turns out. I’ve sampled multiple alternates in the past 12 months to almost all of the apps and services I use, but I’ve only actually migrated two:

• 📰 RSS Service: Newsblur
  • I got tired of maintaining my self-hosted FreshRSS instance, and settled on Newsblur as a viable (paid) alternative. I’m mostly happy with it so far after multiple months, though I’m keeping an eye on self-hosted options still.
• 🔑 Password Management: 1Password
  • I switched off of Bitwarden early in 2024, due to an interest in trying out some of the developer-focused options built into 1Password. So far, I’m a happy customer, and have recommended it to multiple friends and colleagues.
