Comment on Ask HN: What kind of personal software improved your life?

Comments

1password (I like its UI better than Bitwarden; integrated cloud 2fa and passkey support is awesome, since it can be synced across devices).

Microsoft Todo, a simple cross platform todo list app that is synced to the cloud and easily shared with family. We use it for grocery lists, packing lists, etc. Nice and free.

For hiking, AllTrails and Gaia. For mountain biking, Trailforks and MTB Project. For road biking, RideWithGPS.

For gaming, GeForce Now. This has totally replaced gaming PCs for me (way easier and cheaper).

Small utility apps for Mac: Lunar for brightness adjustments even on desktop monitors, Rectangle for better window management.

Google Photos works really well, been using that for decades. Maps too, especially with offline maps.

For vegetarian food while traveling, HappyCow.

For typing on a phone, Microsoft SwiftKey.
