> Is anyone using postmarked as a daily driver replacement for their phone?

Yes. I'm not sure I understand your question though. A big use case for PostmarketOS is software for a mobile phone, so that's my use case.

Yes but how much do you depend on your phone? As in, what functions does it fill in your day-to-day life?

I use it for Calls, SMS/MMS, Email, Calendar, tasks/TODOs, various chat applications, 2FA, password manager, and internet. So it fills the functions I expect in a smartphone.

I think it has some apps for social media, but I only have a mastodon acccount for social media.

The only thing really lacking in it is a decent maps app, but for the most part I get by just fine without that.

Regarding maps apps: Arguably, Pure Maps is decent (in a Mainstream Smartphone way), and Mepo is great in a nerdy way. I really need to look into packaging Osmin for postmarketOS, it‘s almost upsetting that it’s only available on Manjaro ARM.
