Is AdGuard any better and are there any other worthy alternatives? would you mind dropping an example link so I can test my setup?

Is there anything good for banning or restricting sites and apps? I want to limit Twitter and doing it under Screen Time doesn’t work well because it’s easy to override.

I read a tweet just recently about someone who used shortcuts for something similar but can’t find it now - I think it was remove/hide the app from the homescreen and then set up a shortcut as the only way to open Twitter. The shortcut makes the user wait ten minutes and then asks if you’re sure you want to open Twitter, if so then it opens, if you’ve reconsidered how you spend your time, you don’t open Twitter and you win? I don’t know if it’d really work because I feel like I could still “Hey Siri, open Twitter” or find other ways around it. Might be worth a try if there’s nothing else.

Is there a good e-reader app for the iPhone? Preferably something that can do epubs + mobis.

I’m big into Yomu as it can pull from my Calibre library, sync progress across devices, and can seemingly handle whatever. My only gripe is that they don’t have a windows/web client for true saturation of my devices. They do have a OSX one though.

Yomu and PocketBook are the two I use most these days because seems like all the other big players haven't seen any development for years and years and years. Lately PocketBook has gotten more use by me because it allows you to add your own fonts. The Yomu dev told me user fonts aren't an option at this point because it relies on WebKit for rendering. I'm addicted to reading my epubs in Roboto Condensed, so if the app doesn't support user fonts it's a bit of a no-go for me.

i’ve been using an app called money mgr for the last two months. you have to input your own data but it works fine. it has a good feature where you can, if you want to run it on your computer through a browser. think it cost less than five dollars. no ads. https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/money-manager-pc-editing/id564730202 e: looks like there is a free version too.

NinetySevenA posted:i have read that giving apps like ynab your banking password is against the tos. Hacker news commentators are mostly idiots. These budgeting sites and apps, like YNAB or Mint use 3rd party authorization services designed hand-in-hand with banks and payment processors. They don’t actually store any banking information on-site. From YNAB directly: https://www.youneedabudget.com/security posted:In order to provide Direct Import services, we partner with financial data aggregation specialists MX, Plaid, and TrueLayer. In the context of YNAB, data aggregation is the process of collecting your accounts and transaction data from your financial institution and transmitting it to YNAB. You authorize the aggregator to carry out this process on YNAB’s behalf. You can learn more about MX, Plaid, and TrueLayer’s individual security policies and practices on their websites. During this process, YNAB does not view or store your bank credentials, and instead relies upon our partners and their industry-leading security precautions to ensure your information is safe.

Does anyone know if you're able to login to Apple Music on your iPhone using a different account than your main Apple account? I'd like to ditch Spotify for Apple Music, but my wife and I share a Spotify account. The only limitation is that we both can't be using it at the same time, which almost never is an issue (especially during covid times.) But if we can't both share the same Apple Music account and are forced to get the $14.99/mo family plan, that's probably gonna be a no-go.

You give a Plaid iframe your username and password, they log into your bank's on your behalf, then grab the session token. They'd get sued if they hosed up, but Plaid and friends are 100% storing your bank session token.

The $20 Apple One plan would be like $2 more than I'm paying combined right now, but I don't see myself ever making much use of Apple Arcade. I wish they'd let you mix and match services - if I could swap in Apple News+ instead of Apple Arcade I'd probably do it.

I’ve been using Clear for a to-do list app for a while, but I just noticed that it’s basically dead with no update in over 3 years (and it’s a little glitchy on iOS 16 so its days appear to be numbered). Anyone have a good recommendation to replace it? My needs are very basic and I don’t even really want more functionality. Clear just gives me a list of things I can check off with an app badge of how many items are on the list. I don’t need, like, reminders or calendar integration or whatever. Any suggestions that people here like? Apple Watch app would be awesome too, and free is nice obviously but a few bucks is better than subscription for a simple thing like this.

I’ve used Things for years but am trying out Reminders again since the feature set has improved so much and it works so well with Siri. With the new iOS release coming Monday Reminders will get a whole bunch of new features so you may try that out since it’s free and much better than it used to be.

I’ll look into Todoist and Things, thanks. I’ll also see if I can’t shoehorn my workflow into Reminders. I like to use it more for scheduled/timed/geofenced reminders, but have a separate list for generic “stuff you should try to get done today/soon” but, like, don’t care to get a notification or to have an app yell at me if it slips to tomorrow. I’ll see what I can manage though, first-party is always very appealing since I’m already paying Tim for it.

I added some urls to 1blocker and it helped break twitter and I’m happier. What I’m unhappy with is installing the new 1password which has stopped prompting me for passwords when it’s time to login. That’s the whole point. Has anyone had similar?
