My Awesome iOS Apps
https://github.com/tborychowski/awesome-ios

  • awesome-mac
  • ChatGPT - Official app from OpenAI. Doesn't need a key, just a free account. (Free)
  • Anybox - best bookmark storage app (Sub: $15/yr, lifetime: $40)
  • GoodLinks - quite good for the purpose (Paid: $5)
  • Working Copy - as far as git on mobile goes - this is probably the best one can get. (Paid: $20)
  • Textastic - pretty neat code editor on a phone (or tablet). (Paid: $10)
  • ShellFish - probably the best ssh terminal emulator on mobile. (Subscription: $10/y or Lifetime: $40)
  • Web Inspector for iOS - web inspector for iOS Safari.
  • fontcase - font manager for iOS.
  • Bear - note taking (Subscription: $30/year).
  • Craft - note taking and organizing app (Subscription: $60/year, with a limited free option).
  • Evernote - the ultimate workhorse of a note taking app. Minimum friction, maximum usability, integrates with everything and has everything I need. Oh, and no markdown!! (Subscription: ~$99/year, but frequent discounts ~40%).
  • Mela - simple, elegant and modern recipe manager. (Paid: $5)
  • Ulysses - writing app (Subscription: $50/year).
  • Evernote Scannable - best of all tested. Quickly scans & saves to Photos (not too many taps required). Straightens the scans & applies some color filters and does not constantly nag to upgrade or pay like many others.
  • Adobe Scan: PDF & OCR Scanner - requires account! (Subscription: $10/m).
  • Scanner Pro - too many buttons and clicks, and useless functions, e.g. storing scans in iCloud requires pro, but syncing with iCloud doesn’t. Weird UI. Not a straightforward flow (e.g. saves docs to its own internal storage, and requres manually “exporting” them outside). Some basic functionality is free, but full featured app is not. (Paid: $30)
  • iScanner - lots of functions, most of which, when clicked - popup a "Pro" screen, asking for money. Convoluted workflow (lots of taps required to scan and save to photos). Scans don’t look great. (Paid: $15)
  • Tiny PDF Scanner - lots of functions, most of which, when clicked - popup a “Premium” screen, asking for money. Convoluted workflow (lots of taps required to scan and save to photos), scans don’t look great. (Paid $3)
  • Meditation - the app doesn't look much, but has 1 great feature: you can use any mp3 with guided meditation or music and customize everything else and the app will sync your mindfulness minutes to the Apple's Health app. And it's free!
  • Lichess - less bloated than the chess.com and has unlimited free puzzles.
  • SongShift - transfer playlists between music services (Subscription, $20/y).
  • Blank Spaces - Remove all distraction from your iPhone: provides blank widgets, dock-hiding wallpapers, and a simple widget with a textual list of the most important apps. (Subscription: €15/y, lifetime: €25).
  • Fantastical - probably the best calendar app for mac (Subscription ~€44/yr)
  • Parcel - Tracks deliveries and can automatically fetch amazon orders! (Subscription ~€3.5/yr)
  • Things - Best task manager (Paid: $10).
  • Readwise Reader - A fantastic read-it-later app that in conjunction with the readwise service (syncing highlights between your reader, books, kindle and your pkn/notes apps) is unstoppable (Sub: $96/yr while in beta).
  • Reeder - The best RSS reader for Apple devices (Paid: $10).
  • Spark - Email client from Readdle. One of the best out there (if you're using anything else than gmail) (Basic: free, full featured, including some AI: €70/yr).
  • 1Password - Best password manager (Subscription ~€36/yr).
  • Adguard - System-wide ad-blocker. It's expensive but occasionally gets discounted (even down to $14).
  • xsearch - app that allows to set custom search providers in safari (Paid: €3.50).
