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

  • 14” MacBook Pro, M1 Pro, 32GB RAM (2021)

    This is a great machine and very quiet. I do find myself wanting more screen space when travelling though.

  • Dell U3419W Monitor

    A single display with keyboard shortcuts for switching spaces and directly focussing my common apps. No neck strain for me 👌

  • Aurora Corne Keyboard

    They don’t make keyboards the way they used to. I buy these any time I see them go up for sale and keep them in storage in case I need parts or need to retire my main.

  • Logitech MX Master 3

    Slightly more ergonomic than other offerings. I tend to use the keyboard as much as possible though.

Development tools

  • Neovim

    I love the configurability and staying in the terminal. No other Vim emulation come close enough for me to switch.

  • kitty

    Cross platform, simple and performant.

Productivity

  • Raycast

    Awesome features, and easy customisations. I have a few personal extensions I use to help me get work done. Use my affiliate link to get 10% off the Pro plan.

  • Notion

    For task tracking, notes and brainstorming.
