The one on the counter is a tradescantia. The one outside looks like some sort of peperomia but I’m not sure. Planta’s ID is pretty good, I would try that.

I believe the trailing plant is spiderwort, a Purple Heart.? and yeahhh, some kind of pepperomia verticillata

The inside plant is Tradescantia pallida. Super easy to care for. Loves light. If you put it in full sun it will turn a vibrant purple. I lower light levels it gets leggy, greenish and hairy. I let mine dry out between waterings. They will produce small pink flower bees love.

I moved all my trads to nearly full sun and not only are they growing compact, the leaves are hard and structured instead of wilty! They’re so cute, I second the full sun recommendation.
