As someone with a UI/UX design background, I'm often pretty critical when trying out new apps. I'm a pretty picky user and hence it takes some time for me to settle on an app that fits. This list curates apps that I thought were well-scoped and well-designed.

Typora — a truly minimal markdown editor.

Tab Space — a cache for your internet browsing.

Notion — your second brain.

Pocket — a unified read later list.

Flow — a natural notebook.

Roadtrippers — an Atlas for America.

Archimedes — should be the default iOS calculator.

Tot — a whole new clipboard.

Paletro — ⌘P anywhere.

Photomyne — digitize the past.
