**This is followed by the English version.**

Da will ich mir Inspiration holen und stoße über den Blog von [Jens Comiotto-Mayer](https://coma.photography/blog/) darauf, dass es ein _Duel of the Defaults!_ gibt, was die Frage nach unseren Standardapps stellt. Geile Idee! Ich liebe es zu sehen, was andere so für Apps nutzen. So stoße ich immer wieder auf tolle neue Apps. Da mache ich sofort mit!

Da dies international ist und [Robb](https://rknight.me/) eine [Übersichtsliste](https://defaults.rknight.me/) führt, hier noch mal auf Englisch und dann die Liste.
