Just downloaded Itsycal. Thanks for this gem.
We need finicky automation in mobile OS. it is brilliant to automate which URL to open which app/browser. Thanks for this suggestion.
I use magnet instead of rectangle. you might give it a try

Not an app per se, but rather a platform
I use TranscribeMe (https://transcribeme.app) to transcribe my college classes, the transcriber is excellent and doesn't have any mistakes

Interesting. FYI, Wechat has inbuilt feature that transcribes voice messages but only in Chinese. I was expecting it to come to Whatsapp, but seems they are slow on this. Thanks for this suggestion.
Itsycal - a mini calendar app that will show upcoming events
Finicky - control which URL schemas open in which browser. Development stuff in chrome, everything else in Safari
Rectangle - Window management shortcuts
The apps:
NetGuard: firewall that controls app network access
Shelter: separate private from work apps
Gboard: swiping keyboard
Shortcut creator: quick desktop shortcuts to things like SIM management and network mode selector
wifi manager: useful when roaming between multiple co-located WIFIs
widgets: I use widgets a lot (outlook mail, outlook calendar)
