I'm seeing so many create their own list of default apps with Rob Knight's encouragement. Robb is the one who started this thing. For your consideratio, I hereby offer my defaults (in no particular order).

• calendar: Google Calendar in Chrome (tab 1)
• mail: Google Mail in Chrome (tab 2)
• browser: you guessed it, Chrome
• password manager: 1password
• code editor: VS Code
• window manager: magnet
• os: macOS Sonoma Sequoia
• RSS reader: Feedly in Chrome Inoreader (tab 4)
• site analytics: Fathom in Chrome (tab 3)
• all around utility: Alfred Raycast
• mastodon client: Ivory
• bluesky client: Bluesky in Chrome (tab 5)
• notes: Obsidian
• todo: Obsidian
• spreadsheet: Google Sheets
• documents: Google Docs
• music: YouTube Music

• grocery shopping list: Alexa Obsidian
• cloud storage: Dropbox
• cloud backup: Backblaze
• podcasts: Overcast
• contacts: Apple Contacts

In case it's not apparent, for the most part, I'm pretty much all in on Google.

There are a ton more of these kinds of posts over here.
