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

Some of the tools and technologies 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 list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • 16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 64GB RAM (2021)

    Incredibly performant and lightweight. Great for mobile development.

  • Apple IPad Pro (2019) with Sidecar

    Works beautifully as a secondary display for my laptop.

  • Apple Magic Trackpad

    Great to draw concepts and designs with an Apple pencil.

Development tools

  • VSCode

    The best editor I’ve ever used. Console Ninja, Codeium and Matt Pocock's typescript extensions are a must for productivity

  • iTerm2

    I’m not sure what features I get with this that aren’t just part of the macOS Terminal but it’s what I use because of the colors.

  • TablePlus

    Great software for working with databases. Has saved me from building about a thousand admin interfaces for my various projects over the years.

Productivity

  • Obsidian

    The best markdown editor I’ve ever used. I use Obsidian for my daily notes and project managment. Its open source and better than Notion

  • BetterTouchTool

    Hihgly underrated tool to maximise productivity across all applications by assigning simple trackpad gestures to common actions. No more trackpad fatigue!

  • Arc Browser

    This is the browser built for developers! Love it!
