Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I’m being productive when I’m really just procrastinating. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • 13” MacBook Air, M1 , 8GB RAM (2021)

    This is the second laptop ever getting and glad I did. I do most things on here instead of my PC, which I used just for gaming now.

  • Secretlab TITAN™ Evo

    If I’m going to slouch in the worst ergonomic position imaginable all day, I might as well do it in an expensive chair.

Development tools

  • VSCode

    I don’t feel like spending time I could be coding configuring NeoVim instead.

  • Warp

    Used to use Iterm2 but found Warp to be better for my terminal needs.

  • Docker

    Recently started to learn and use. Will update when I figure it out more.

Design

  • Figma

    Learning more about UX design.

Productivity

  • Raycast

    It’s the best spotlight alternative. So many features to assist anyones workflow.

  • Mem

    I’ve used most note taking apps out their and landed on mem ai. I like quickly jotting notes, its search, and ai implementation.

  • Readwise/Reader

    Readwise takes highlights from kindle books, its Reader app (super cool read later/feed app), and a bunch more sources together in a nice organized way.

  • Notion

    A good tool for many work related tasks. Currently using for coding projects.

  • Things 3

    Simple and clean personal task manager.
