That diverges from how the app was intended to be used or for what audiences it was marketed for

    Should have read more, I wasn’t aware that was part of the question. I’m just posting about niche usage apps I like. I don’t use them often, but they’re essential for their niche.

    Idk if this counts, but I use the Reminders app on my phone to create packing lists for work travel. Very easy to uncheck everything then re-check off things as you pack them. Keep building a perpetual packing list and you’ll never forget things. Lists in general are awesome for offloading cognitive workload.

    RunPee will alert you when there’s a lull in a movie so you can sneak away to take a leak. Includes a plot summary of what you missed while you pissed.

    RPM app - I use this for ensuring my turntable is spinning at the correct RPM.

    I’ve got a Dolby app on my Mac that I use for encoding or decoding Dolby B/C tape recordings because I’m a cassette nerd. Super niche.

    I also enjoy GPS raw data apps for seeing how fast my airplane is going when it takes off.

    If I think of any more I’ll post again.
