![]() ![]() Google Calendar is fine, but I am fully prepared to be amazed by something else.īear The majority of my writing happens on Bear’s desktop application, but in a pinch, I’ll edit and write on mobile. Google Calendar Apple’s Calendar app is unreliable and I can not have my calendar not be rock solid. I’m also hoping that Apple’s Photos improves. Oddly, Google Photos doesn’t allow me to mark photos as Favorite, and I use that a workflow step in photo editing. Photos Yeah, Apple’s Photos is still on the front page.
