Folder 2 is chat related: Snapchat, Hangouts, Facebook Messenger, Twitter.Folder 1 is camera/images related: Instagram, VSCOcam, Hyperlapse, InstaSquarer, InstaCollage, Lumify.Screen 2: Facebook, Feedly, Pinterest, Strava, and four folders. Honestly, I don’t need the weather app, but I put it there for aesthetics as I think it looks nice to have some blue in the top row. Screen 1: Calendar, Clock, Weather, Settings, Mail, Camera, Photos, YouTube, Google Maps, Overcast, Trello, and a folder containing: Yelp, Mint, Tip Calculator, Venmo, Sleep Time, Google Authenticator Sorry Grey, couldn’t get behind the 3-icon dock. Applications:īefore I begin, I must credit Toffer with the simple yet brilliant “emoji as folder titles” idea. Thanks Toffer! :Dĭock: Messages, Safari, Phone, Music. Wallpaper: A photo I took on a foggy drive down Highway 152, edited with VSCOcam.
I was recently prompted by Toffer to show my home screen, and thought I’d go ahead and write up a post about the tech devices I use. So, in the key of Lifehacker: I am Owl Ink, and this is how I work!ĭevice: 16GB iPhone 5s, Gold. I devoured this episode, as many of the points Grey brought up were similar or identical to ones that had run through my mind… ( of COURSE the Phone app and the Messages app can’t be next to each other, THEY ARE BOTH GREEN!!) This post is inspired by the Cortex Podcast - in Episode 1, hosts Myke Hurley and CGP Grey delve into a serious discussion on the art and philosophy of device home screens.
