App List | 2024-01-17 |
This is most of the apps I use on my smartphone in January 2024, and some thoughts on how difficult it will be to give it up.
App | Purpose | Need |
---|---|---|
1Password | I'll have to rely on the browser version | |
A Better Route Planner | The new phone has some version of Google Maps, | |
and longer trips can be planned on the computer beforehand | ||
Amtrak | this one could be tough. Having the Amtrak app is very helpful | |
on train voyages when problems happen. | ||
Andronome | A metronome app. I bet I can make a web app on woozle.org to do this. | |
AntennaPod | Podcasts. I think there's a podcast app for KaiOS. | |
Authenticator | There's a TOTP app for KaiOS. I may need to update it. | |
Awful | I'll use the web version. | |
Book Reader | I wasn't reading books on the phone. What's funny is that | |
I read Moby Dick on my Nokia 5310. But the smartphone is too distracting to read. | ||
Calculator | KaiOS has a calculator. | |
ChargePoint | EV charger app. I may have to either pay more and use my credit card, | |
or get their plastic card for in-network rates. | ||
ConnectBot | ssh client. There's one on my laptop. | |
Contacts | There's one built into KaiOS. | |
Electrify America | same story as ChargePoint. | |
EVGo | same story. | |
Firefox | KaiOS has a browser. I bet it's awful. But I don't think I'll use it much. | |
Fitbit | Gonna have to give this one up. | |
Gmail | I'm already off gmail. | |
*Google Calendar | This may be the thing that pulls me back. | |
Getting push reminders of upcoming events has been a big deal. | ||
Google Home | I think I actually need to keep the phone just for this app. | |
Google Messages | It'll be SMS only for me. | |
Google News | good riddance. | |
Google Photos | web version. | |
Google Podcasts | they're killing this anyway. | |
Google Pay | credit cards have tap to pay. | |
Listen Audiobook Player | I'll have to see if I can find a KaiOS app for this. | |
Mattermost | No more work push notifications for me, so sad. | |
Open Camera | The camera is not as big a part of my life now as it once was. | |
I can get snapshots with the dumbphone. Not good ones, but good enough. | ||
I grew up with crummy 110 cameras. It'll be okay. | ||
Plex | maybe I can copy video files over, for the train trips. | |
Will I want to watch movies on a 2-inch screen, though? | ||
Good thing I have a laptop! | ||
PlexAmp | I will have to copy music files over to my phone, like I did 20 years ago. | |
It'll be okay. | ||
Proton Mail | laptop ahoy! | |
*Signal | Ironically, Signal is the one app that absolutely cannot run without a smartphone. | |
And it's where most of my friends are. | ||
gStrings | (instrument tuner) I may have to buy a guitar tuner! | |
YouTube | comes with the phone, although, again, 2-inch screen. | |
YouTube Music | same story as PlexAmp. Music files on phone. | |
Work Apps | I'll just use my work laptop for work. It'll be fine, | |
the main inconvenience will be when I forget to do my timecard, | ||
I'll have to grab the laptop. | ||
Banking Apps | they all have web sites I can use, | |
although one of my credit cards leans fairly heavily into the app. |
