I have two active spaces on my phone to minimize hand movement. Everything is optimized for reachability and partly aesthetics. I use dark mode most always on iOS. On macOS I tend to vary between light and dark themes preferring light theme.
iPhone for me is a consumption and communication device primarily. Everything I can do on the phone, I can do faster and better on mac. Thus I limit the kinds of activities I do on the phone and don't do things for long. Podcasts, chat, Twitter/Apollo/IG, photography..
Applications
Here is a list of apps I use the most, sorted by category and their importance.
Use it to track my workouts. I have few custom workouts I made that I can start and simply follow the exercises and the number of sets for the exercise as my workout progresses. I most usually start and track my workouts with my Apple Watch using Streaks Workout to start bodyweight exercise workouts and Workouts to start cardio workouts (Running/Cycling).
Can't live without the app. It holds all my passwords and anything private so that I only need to remember one thing. My master password. It seamlessly integrates with the OS so I can autofill saved passwords in seconds.
My favorite messenger due its speed, its ability to sync with a native macOS client and the many free and awesome stickers you can use. I use Pocket to add links I want to check at some point in time. I also use Telegram Saved Messages and send messages to myself (links/quick-todos) that are of higher priority than Pocket. Adding quick todo to Telegram is much quicker than 2Do and it is assumed that the todo/note will be dealt with as soon as possible. I also use Saved Messages to share media between devices.
My favorite client for browsing Reddit. I love how you can operate the app seamlessly with gestures. I also customized the app to work with my own gestures (i.e. swiping back & forth by initiating the swipe in the middle of the screen and not on the side).
Use the app to quickly delete bad photos and sort photos into albums quickly. I try have all the photos in my Photos library be placed in some folder and this app lets me easily do that.
I use the app to make edits to my wiki. Since the wiki is a bunch of markdown files in a folder that I keep on Dropbox, I can add that folder to Ulysses as external folder and make edits to it.
Lets you write JavaScript code and combine it with Siri Shortcuts. Can even edit the code on the mac and instantly run the shortcuts on the phone. Plan to learn how to use it well to write more sophisticated shortcuts.
Widgets
Here are the widgets I use:
Shortcuts
I color all shortcuts I use with gray color for consistency. All the top shortcuts I use are activated with widgets (as seen above).
Home - Show public transport directions to Home in Google Maps.
Record - Start recording audio. Tap to stop. Then share it.
Dictate - Start recording speech and transcribe it to text. Tap to stop. Then share the text.
I use Test shortcut to prototype new actions/ideas quickly. I then duplicate the working prototype & give it appropriate name. I use the same prototyping idea with KM macros.
Control Center
Here is how my control center looks:
WatchOS
I use Apple Watch as a way to track my health and fitness and view useful information at a glance like current time and events.
I use only one Infograph Modular watch face. It shows the current time and day, the weather and my current or future calendar events (with Fantastical). It also lets me quickly start cardio workout (running/biking) or bodyweight workout (with Streaks Workout). I can also start a timer or see the time of a timer if one is already running.
iPad
I mostly use my iPad for drawing with Procreate or noting/sketching in Notes/Muse with Apple Pencil. Or playing Chess / Wild Rift. I also sometimes use it as second screen with Sidecar.
Games
I prefer using PS5 for playing games as the games there are much better. Some games I do play on iPad are:
