Well, basically the title. I love trying out new apps across the whole ecosystem, but searching for them in the App store is not fun, and a bunch of apps I have used I found by accident in some posts or comments on the web.

So, the question is, what apps that are not widely known you use and recommend? Mac, iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS.

From me: WatchOS: TimeGlance that serves as date and time complication.

iOS/WatchOS: Duffy that serves only as a glanceable steps meter, with no fancy additions that many apps there have, and simple clean complications in watch.

iOS: Ermine, mainly serves me as a calendar widget that is better than the built in one, showing dots over the days that have some events and highlighting holidays.

iOS: Wristy, a widget to show my wrist temperature (requires Watch 8)

MacOS: Numi, a somewhat “natural language” calculator.

MacOS: Warp, a rich wrapper on the terminal.

I’ve been a long time 1Password user, but it has been getting worse and more expensive at the same time. I’m using Minimalist, but iCloud Keychain is getting better every year and I‘m probably soon going to switch over. The only thing I’m missing are other secure things like passports, bank accounts etc.

And having a dedicated app for it is would also be nice.

1Password does a good job of allowing both me and my partner to use logins. I’m excited to try out the new keychain stuff, but it would need this ability for me to switch and stop paying for 1Password.
