My App Defaults in 2023

Inspired by Hemispheric Views 097 - Duel of the Defaults! and blog posts by many. I would like to write my own defaults too.

I tend to use software that comes Apple natively and use one software for multiple needs, such as Apple Notes and Readwise Reader, to minimize the amount of software I need to use.
