By far my most favorite use is as a notepad that I always have with me. I use the Typewise keyboard to type quickly and accurately and it’s routinely very useful.
Anything y’all like to do with your phones that you feel like most people miss out on?

I’ve been getting into having a pdf of the various manuals for things around the house on my phone. I recently consulted the manuals for my fridge, a new dehumidifier and the lawn mower and it was pretty awesome not having to find and dig out a paper booklet each time. My phone is on me all the time plus I can get rid of the paper copies.
It would be tempting to have a QR code or nfc tag to stick on appliances that goes direct to a manual on a self hosted service. Would be nice so it’s always easy to get to and specific to the device.
I do exactly this! I use Calibre Web and have all the PDF manuals for my appliances in it (among other books). I then encode an NFC tag for the Calibe Web URL to the manual for the appliance in question. Works perfectly!
That’s an extremely cool usecase! Thank you for sharing it, I might steal it!
Been doing this too! Embarrassingly I still need to refer to my washing machine manual occassionally.
It’s a really useful habit!
In a similar vein, I’ve also got a receipt scanner app - to make sure I’ve got 'em saved if I need to return or service something.
