Is the word "nowadays" commonly used in either conversation or writing in the US?

I've seen many people using this word on HiNative.

I write it more than I say it, but I think it's a pretty common word.

@simplyjoon Thank you for replying. But I'm not sure if you're a native American speaker...

@NaggingN I'm Danish, but I speak English on a native level.

I don’t think I use it very often actually. I think I usually just shorten it to “now”.

So instead of saying, “Nowadays I just sleep in” I say “Now I just just sleep in”. I might even say “these days I just sleep in”

I say nowadays quite often but I never write it because it is very informal

Nowadays, children don’t behave.
These days, children don’t behave.
In recent years, children don’t behave.

@EBFriday Thank you so much. Is it okay to use it to describe about myself, such as " nowadays I don't swim", or do you use it only when you refer to society in general?

No you can use it about yourself. You could say
Nowadays I don’t swim very often or nowadays I don’t call my mother often
