My default apps

Thought

My blogging in 2023 has been essentially non-existent, but if there’s one thing that will take me out of my self-imposed isolation it’s a good blogging trend. So, when I saw the default apps Inspired by Hemispheric Views 097 - Duel of the Defaults!, I couldn’t resist. Well, that’s a lie actually. I did resist for some time. I looked over my default apps and it’s all very … default. Still, someone may find the list interesting so, without further ado, here’s the list:
