This week, Apple revealed its year-end list of the most downloaded iPhone apps in 2024. It includes both free and paid apps, the latter of which is more interesting because it does not include bog-standard social media or streaming apps.

And while a bunch of interesting apps made the list -- for things like productivity, wellness, photography, art and exploration -- one stood out to me. It's an iPhone app that brings a neat ability to your Apple Watch.

The ability to browse the web.

Apple notoriously doesn't have a Safari app for the Apple Watch, and there's no Google web browsing app, either. However, there are third-party apps for the Apple Watch that allow you to browse the web. I just didn't think they were that popular, given that using your Apple Watch's tiny screen to navigate the web isn't a great experience.

Evidently, I was wrong, as µBrowser -- an iPhone and Apple Watch app that lets you browse the web right from your wrist -- made the list for one of the most downloaded iPhone apps of the year.
