1-Day App Test Keeps 4 Android Utilities, Including $4.49 CalcTape

Summary
Four apps survived the author's delete-after-a-day rule and were still in use a week later: Mark, CalcTape, UnforgetTodo and Pinnit.
Mark earned a spot by auto-deleting temporary screenshots after a preset time, while still offering share-and-keep or share-and-delete options for images that matter.
CalcTape stood out during apartment move-out budgeting by saving every calculation step, letting users annotate each line and recalculate instantly after edits; the author says it justified the $4.49 Pro upgrade.
UnforgetTodo and Pinnit both target reminders from different angles: one keeps tasks on the lock screen despite awkward unlocking, while the other pins, filters and reschedules notifications as a more flexible prompt system.
The common thread is minimal disruption—these utilities add reminders, cleanup and calculation history without forcing a full rethink of how the phone is used.
