Best Apps You Are Using Right Now That Nobody Talks About

[Rhys]

Not the big names. Not Instagram, WhatsApp, or whatever AI assistant you use. The small, specific, unglamorous apps that do one thing well and that you would miss if they disappeared.

Worth sharing so other people can find them.

[DeepPilot]

A local weather radar app that shows actual radar rather than algorithmic forecasts. Infinitely more useful for knowing whether it will rain in the next hour

[CosmicRay17]

A plain text notes app with no features whatsoever. Sync, search, dark mode. Nothing else. The absence of features is the feature

[Phil95]

An app that tracks which films you have seen and lets you rate them privately without social features

[Always_David72]

A metronome app with a specific feature for gradually accelerating tempo. Essential for practice and surprisingly hard to find in a version that works well

[LurkerPrime]

A bus tracking app for my specific city that uses real GPS data rather than scheduled times. The difference between knowing a bus is running late and being told it is on time is significant when you are standing in the rain

[HiddenSeb75]

An offline dictionary that works without internet. Sounds trivial until you are somewhere without signal and need to check a word

[Always_Shane35]

A sleep tracking app that does not require wearing anything. Uses the phone's microphone instead
