@tekphloyd two votes for Bear is interesting. I never hear people talking about it these days.

@andyn Bear is a lovely notes app. Why Bear? Because I don’t like Apple Notes, and in my opinion, the Obsidian mobile app is terrible. Unfortunately, there is no Bear for Android.

General question for those listing 1password as a must have first install …
Are you cross platform on a daily basis, using windows as much as any Apple device?
Do you prefer a browser that doesn’t support Apples password apps or passkeys?

@andyn If you’re gonna use Safari, I’d recommend the Wipr 2 extension by @mipstian. It’s a very set-and-forget app for blocking ads, trackers, cookie notices and other junk on websites.
Tapestry by @Iconfactory is a great way to follow various online sources (RSS, Mastodon, Bluesky, YouTube, Reddit, etc.) in one place.

@andyn Brew! And then there’s a command called “brew bundle install” and it installs literally all my apps and terminal stuff
