For the last couple of weeks, it was all fun and games. This week, we are going for a more generalized topic on how you use your Android devices for work.

I’m boring in regards to work apps, so I very much favor using Microsoft apps over Google apps for work, as overall I feel Google apps work better on iPhones than on Android (to my great frustration). Office and Teams work exactly how I expect them to, while their desktop version are a bit bloated, on Android they work super well, and there really is no replacement that’s as good as Microsoft Lens for scanning printed documents into PDFs.

But, I understand my use for Android for productivity is fairly limited, so, I’m interested to see if we can put our head together and find some interesting ways to use your Android devices to help us all be more productive.

    Well I run GrapheneOS on a Pixel 5, and I use Shelter to isolate my work apps from my personal apps. I have sandboxes google play within shelter, the apps I have in my work profile are:

    • MS Outlook
    • MS Teams
    • MS Azure
    • WhatsApp
    • Word
    • Excel
    • Adobe Scan

    I dont use my phone very much for myactual job, but its good for maintaining connectivity and checking/responding to emails and calling into meetings as needed.

        Mostly mental, and ensuring separation between my real life work identity and my online/whatever identity. I’m sure that’s mostly in my head but peace of mind is peace of mind.
