An overview of the apps, platforms, and streaming services to which I am currently subscribed.
This overview is linked to a review task in Things.app so that I don’t forget to think about reviewing the value of each of these subscriptions every nine months. I chose the rythm of once every nine months so that I’m sure that this doesn’t become an annual or twice a year thing that I always do at the same moment in time.
Apps and Platforms – € 63,28
| Name | €/month | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1Blocker | € 0,46 | My add blocker of choice on all my devices. |
| 1Password | € 4,99 | Probably the most valuable subscription listed here. We have a family subscription plan now for several years and I’m that even my kids by now understand that a password vault is a must to have. |
| Adobe Creative Cloud | ||
| Apple iCloud | € 9,99 | 2TB storage plan which is shared with the whole family. |
| Banktivity | € 6,49 | For managing personal finances. I have the subscription to enable stock price downloads so that I can easily track my portfolio over time. |
| Carrot Weather | € 0,42 | Indie developer that deserves my support. |
| Fantastical Calendar | € 5,84 | Simply the best calendar app out there for power users. |
| Flighty | € 4,16 | Expensive app that deserves every penny of investment as this a must app for me as frequent flyer. |
| Ivory | € 2,49 | Indie developers that deserve my support. Apart from that I believe that Ivory is still the best Mastodon client out there. |
| Office365 | € 27,10 | I pay for the family subscription of our Office365 mail and calendar hosting. I prefer Office365 over iCloud and Google due to its compatibility in the corporate world. |
| Parcel | € 0,42 | Parcel tracking made as easy as possible. |
| Triode | € 0,92 | Useful for listening to my favorite radio stations while traveling. |
Newspapers and Podcasts – € 38,00

|---|---|---|
| Met Nerds om Tafel | € 3,00 | One of my favorite Dutch podcasts. |
| NRC | € 35,00 | Good journalism deserves to receive money by people who can afford it. |
Streaming Services – €25,44
| Name | €/month | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Music | € 10,99 | My music streaming service of choice. The rest of the family is using Spotify. |

I used my Christmas holiday week to review the subscriptions on apps and services that I use. I reviewed all my active subscriptions and decided…
Triode functionaliteit zit volgens mij ook al verwerkt in Apple Music. Zoek maar eens op NPO Radio 2 in de app, en je kan het kanaal digitaal luisteren via TuneIn
Je hebt gelijk, radio afspelen vanuit Apple Music kan ook. Het voordeel van Triode voor mij is dat het een ‘menu bar’ app is op de Mac en voor iOS handige widgets heeft. Hierdoor kan je met één handeling muziek starten.
