Personally paid for Niagara launcher as I find that to be the far superior launcher to any other I've tried. My second one is Symfonium, the most feature rich and well developed audio player.

What are yours?

  • When my house guests text "#wifi" to me, they get an auto reply with the WiFi password.

  • NFC tag stuck to my medication pouch. When I boop my phone to it (or tap a shortcut on homescreen), I can select what medication I have taken. The medication and the time gets added to the bottom of a Google sheets spreadsheet, that I, or someone supporting me can check to get an overview of how frequently I've been taking medication (especially useful for spotting high pain chunks of time due to more frequent usage of PRN pain meds).

  • Another aspect of the medication tracking above is that it also can tell me the last time I took medication. For example, if I take ADHD meds at 12pm, then my next dose would be 4pm. If I tap the shortcut at 3pm, it'll tell me I last took meds at 12pm and I'm next due at 4pm. Alarms tend to either startle me or not be noticed, but when I had smart lights and a notification light on my phone, I could make a colour gradient where "you have just taken meds" = red and "you are due to take meds" = blue, and as time progresses, the colour slowly becomes more blue. This works well for me, because I like visual reminders
