App defaults, end of 2023

Everyone (it seems) is posting their app defaults lists, so I thought to join the party as well.

• Mail Client: Mail.app
• Mail Server: Fastmail and Zoho Mail
• Notes: Simplenote and *.txt files
• To-Do: Apple Reminders
• Photo Management: iCloud Photos
• Calendar: Apple Calendar
• Cloud File Storage: iCloud
• RSS: Miniflux @ NetNewsWire
• Browser: Safari
• Chat: Signal, Element X (Matrix), Telegram, and WhatsApp
• Bookmarks: Linkding
• Read It Later: Instapaper
• Word Processing: Text Editor (macOS default app; does it count?)
• Spreadsheets: Apple Numbers Budgeting and Personal Finance: Apple Numbers
• News: Artifact, newspapers sites
• Music: Apple Music
• Podcasts: Apple Podcasts
• Password Management: MacPass (macOS), KeePassium (iOS)
• Backup: rclone + Backblaze B2

There are a lot of Apple apps and services, a side effect of using macOS and iOS as main OSs. I hope to improve on that someday.
