What I use.
A snapshot of the gear, software, and services I reach for every day. Inspired by uses.tech. Updated occasionally - let me know if anything looks suspiciously old.
Desk
-
My main machine. Fast, quiet, never gets in the way.
-
95% DCI-P3, paired with BetterDisplay for HiDPI scaling.
- Apple Magic Keyboard & Magic Mouse
Living with the bottom-mounted charging port. Otherwise: great.
- Blue Yeti microphone
On a Compass boom arm with a Radius shock mount.
- iPhone 16 Pro Max
Upgraded after five years on an XR. The leap was real.
Editor & terminal
-
Cobalt2 theme by Wes Bos. JetBrains Mono. Switched here from Sublime Text years ago.
-
Simple and fast. I keep meaning to try Ghostty.
Daily software
-
Best-looking password manager. Browser-to-desktop integration is the killer feature.
-
To-dos and notes. Lightweight enough to actually use.
-
Container tabs and proper dev tools. I like that it isn't Chromium.
- Spotify
Background music while coding. Mostly instrumental.
Building things
-
My Sequel Pro replacement. Multi-database, clean UI.
-
Git GUI when the terminal isn't enough.
-
API testing with cloud sync across machines.
-
Design and team collaboration. Works everywhere.
-
A small, sharp color picker.
Hosting & services
-
Simple, predictable VPS hosting for most projects.
-
Static sites. Superfast and free for what I need.
-
For Nuxt and Next.js apps that need edge functions.
-
Source of truth for everything that matters.
