I saw these default app posts go around on the fedi, so I thought I’d chip in and list what I typically use for various tasks. A lot of people contributing are on Macs, so I’ll weigh in with my Windows and Android oriented list, with a lot of Open Source software. I also added some categories that apply to me (music related, for example), that I didn’t see in other lists. I guess I’m not using that much “default” apps after all.Image may be NSFW.

I like going through these lists from other people to see if there’s anything cool in there I haven’t heard of, so I hope you also find a gem in here.
