- ViViDboarder 7y agoI rigorously organize my mobile apps, so this is quite rare for me. However, pretty much everything I do through my desktop (GUI at least) is done with search. Actually, I do the same in my terminal too with `fzf`, but to a lesser extent.
- pdimitar 7y agoWith time I discovered that the muscle memory I build to do tasks on my phone and tablet is strictly bound to the exact locations of the app icon and all the action buttons in it. So I am like you. I religiously arrange my home screens (iPhone and iPad) but just use `fzf` and other similar software pieces (like `helm` for Emacs) for pretty much anything on my Macs. I am also pondering paying for Alfred for macOS. I hear it's a fantastic piece with a similar search-centric idea in its heart.

- sevencolors 7y agoFascinating. My fist screen is all apps I use daily. The second is everything else in folders
