Oh sneaky, they replaced the missing 2/3 of the credits on the Melania doc with Epstein files where no one would ever see them.

I’ve updated my guide for tablets for digital sheet music for 2025. Including both Android and iOS devices, as well as my favorite apps for reading sheet music on a tablet.

@jslr @drafts This is awesome. I’ve thought about the possibilities of using Drafts for logs, since some of the apps I use have issues with data syncing (and I’m constantly worried about losing important data when an app shuts downs).

How did you accomplish this?

@ryanashcraft The app AutoSleep also has a ring view widget. In one of the screen shots they show a 3-ring visualization, but I don’t think the widget actually has 3 rings (I believe on the Watch the widget has two rings and in the phone it has 4).

@viticci Everlog deserves more attention. Much nicer than Day One…
I’ve never used DevonThink, but have been curious about trying it out in 2025. It seems like a great app to organize thoughts and make connections in writing and thinking. I work in multiple fields as a freelancer, and having ways to make connections between ideas easier and more obvious is very appealing. (2/2)
