    Consent-o-matic. Safari extension. remember those stupid “agree to cookies?” This extension will automatically take care of those pop-ups.

    Photomator photo editor. Probably the best Apple-eco photo editing app on iPhone or iPad. They are a subscription based now, unfortunately. But god the app is excellent.

    Backmarket. Not just an app but a platform to buy certified refurbished electronics. They’re just so good, reasonably priced items, good warranty guarantee and eco-friendly.

    YNAB - Budgeting app. I’ve been using it for almost 6 years now. It’s amazing.

    Things3 - This app helps me stay organized between work, school, and errands. Very intuitive to use.

    These are my daily apps. I’m not sure if these fit under the “lesser known” category, but more people should definitely use them more.

    Chat gpt app. Need a recipe? It’s there. Have a question about your favourite hobby? It’s there. Need help making a decision? It’s there.

    Flipp. grocery flyers, and you can make shopping lists and then click on it to see where each item is on sale without browsing flyers

    Print to size. Have an empty picture frame? Measure it and print a picture! I mostly use it for tattoo stencils but have a framed picture of Danny devito above my fridge

    I’ve been using Perplexity instead of Google in the last few weeks. It’s the fasted AI search tool that I’ve tried. It gives nearly instant answers with sources. You don’t even need to specify exactly what you’re looking for. For example I just searched „how to remove the rubble to get to Nere“ while playing Baldurs Gate 3 the other day and it instantly showed me the correct answer pulled from different sources without me having to include the name of the game.

    Standard search is free, and there’s a paid co pilot available with more features. But I haven’t used it.

    Also Artifact for news aggregation. Really good algorithm that learns very fast what you’re interested in, reader mode, AI summaries and text to speech. It’s from some former Instagram dudes and they have added more and more community sourced stuff, so let’s how long it will be great for news.
