Not that Pocket’s design was exactly bad, I quite liked it, but it’s not as good on all 3 (iPhone, iPad, but especially Mac). Well, it’s a very native-feeling app, nice design, has a great app for all of the 3 platforms. It has become my single source for any type of longform reading.

OpenIn - Came to know of OpenIn from reddit itself.Makes no sense to pay 3 times the price of overcast for it now. Slow pace of development, terrible ipad experience and bugs related to sideloading have come up. But unfortunately, I won't be renewing my subscription next year. Despite being quite expensive, I really liked its simplicity and its sideloading features. Castro Podcast app - It was a mixed bag for me.
I've found many features of Raycast like the inbuilt integration with reminders very helpful.
Raycast - Found it better than Alfred, as I was only using the free version and did not have the powerpack.Incredibly useful for people who watch a lot of videos including youtube. Vidimote safari extension - Video speed controller and pip features.My favourite apps of the year, in no particular order, were. I get many of these through Setapp, which is getting better and better and something I really recommend :) I might add more as I remember what I use. GitPigeon - Github notifications on macOS.Paletro - command palette in any application.
