How do you manage bookmarks and links across multiple platforms?

Hi everyone,

Quick question for Android users, who also use Apple, Linux, or a desktop during the day.

How do you currently manage links across devices?

For example, if you come across something on Instagram on your phone and later want to share it with a friend on Slack from your laptop, what does that flow usually look like for you? Do you send the link to yourself, rely on browser sync, download the app on both devices, or something else?

Feel like there are a few different ways to do this, but none of them feel particularly smooth. (Used to use airdrop when I was on iPhone)

Notes

Does anyone know of a note-taking app that can add videos besides Notion? The ones I see only allow YouTube links; I wanted one that could upload videos from my own gallery.

Is there a similar alternative to 1dm+?

I love 1dm+, however the browser freezes up sometimes and the app becomes useless until I clear it.

So I'm looking for an app alternative that is a browser with a block and internal download manager, and can fine tune settings.

If it's paid, I prefer something that is buy once, not a subnoscription

Thanks for your help

What’s a paid app you bought that vanished from the Play Store, had development stopped, or got region-blocked?

Mine: ES File Explorer Pro.

I really felt bad losing it, and of course the money I paid for it. It was the best file manager at that time.

Ways to take screenshots of protected apps

Are there any apps or other ways that allow a screenshot to be taken even if it's been restricted by the app developer? Medical apps, bank apps etc.?

I have a Pixel 8 Pro.

Is there an app that functions as a replacement to Google photos

When I attempt to sort the photos in my Google photos albums it freaks out and then goes back to the same place as it was.
I've tried to contact them but it wasn't helpful so I'm just wondering if theres a free app for me to make albums and rearrange them

Looking for a NON workout/training interval timer app

I want an app that can set timers for intervals like this

- "Create a timer that goes off every 2 hours from 8am - 4pm on Monday - Friday only"

I cant find anything that does that. All these interval timer apps are built around workouts and training so there is sets and reps. I dont want that.

Can anyone recommend anything?

**UPDATE:** NM I found one "repeat alarm"

Is there a "Tinder-style" swipe app (just like Photoswooper) for cleaning up document files?

I've been using PhotoSwooper to clear out my phone's photo gallery and it's actually made a chore fun. Now I'm looking for something similar but for documents (PDFS, Word docs, old downloads). Does anyone know of an app that lets you swipe through file previews to quickly delete or keep them? Thank you for your time.

What do you think about Google messages?

Hello everyone,

I have a Galaxy S20 and I always used the default sms app. I'm satisfied with it but maybe I could find better.
I heard that Google messages is really nice. However I don't know about privacy, etc...

What other sms app could you advise me to use and why?

What do you think?

Better choice than Authy for 2FA? What about Google authenticator?

Hello everyone,

I've been using Authy for years to manage my 2FA.
I'm not sure it's an open-source app... Could you confirm me?

I have a question. What would the procedure be if my phone suddenly disappeared? How would I manage my 2FA...?

I came across Google authenticator and it's said to save and sync codes across all the user's devices....

What do you think about Google authenticator, and what about Authy..? Is there a way, if a change application to export my config from authy to import it in the new application?

Thank you for your experience !

Similar app like CrystalDiskInfo for Android?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for an Android app that can check S.M.A.R.T. info for external SSD/HDD (health, power-on hours, reallocated sectors, etc.), similar to CrystalDiskInfo on Windows.

I’m connecting drives through OTG and can see/storage access works fine, but I can’t find any app that actually shows real S.M.A.R.T. data instead of just basic info like capacity and vendor name.

Is there anything on Android that can read full disk health info, or is it just not possible without root? If you’ve used something that works with external USB drives, I’d appreciate the recommendation.

Camera, continuous recording, save last x seconds on demand

I'm looking for an app that will continuously buffer but not save anything until I tell it to. That way I can wait for an action to happen without filling my memory.

YouTube block

How can I block YouTube on my tablet? Garbage keeps popping up and I don't want it. The links are buried in the pages and is too easy to accidentally click on it.
