- calendar,
- Noisli (sounds for better focus),
- JakDojade (local path finder),
- Google Maps,
- Gmail,
- Drive,
- Calculator,
- AdobeScan,
- Desk Control (sti stand desk control)
- Clock
- Translate app
- Setup your screen for grayscale
- Step 1: Set up Grayscale.

- Step 2: Create the Grayscale shortcut, which lets you easily switch it on and off.
Go to iOS Settings > Accessibility Scroll down to Accessibility Shortcut > select to check Color Filter Once configured, triple-click the side button to turn the Grayscale filter on and off.
