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

This page lists the things I use to build software, stay productive, or improve my life. I try to keep it up to date and add new things as I discover them. The list includes products I use for personal projects. The tools I use at work, however, can vary depending on the project.

Workstation

  • 16" MacBook Pro, M5 Pro, 24GB RAM

    My main machine for software development and building my own products.

  • 38" LG UltraWide 38WR85QC-W

    The ultrawide screen gives me enough space for code, documentation, and a browser without needing a second monitor.

  • Apple Magic Trackpad

    Something about all the gestures makes me feel like a wizard with special powers. I really like feeling like a wizard with special powers.

  • Apple Magic Keyboard

    I like slim and minimal design and this keyboard is the best

Development tools

  • Cursor

    I currently use Cursor as my main IDE for software development.

  • Conductor

    I use Conductor to keep development tasks in separate workspaces, especially when several changes are moving at the same time.

  • Codex and Claude Code

    I switch between Codex and Claude Code depending on the task and which one is giving me better results at the time.

  • Warp

    Warp is my terminal for daily development work.

  • Google Chrome

    I’m back to using Chrome as my default browser after working with Arc for a while. I use it for both browsing and web development.

Hosting and infrastructure

  • Vercel

    I use Vercel to host some of my web projects.

  • Coolify on Hetzner

    I use Coolify to manage deployments across two VPS hosted at Hetzner.

Analytics

  • Umami

    I use Umami for privacy-friendly analytics across my websites.

Writing

  • RewriteBar

    My own macOS app for rewriting, correcting, and translating text in any application.

  • CoTypist

    I use CoTypist alongside RewriteBar as part of my writing workflow.

Design

  • Figma

    We started using Figma as just a design tool but now it’s become our virtual whiteboard for the entire company. Never would have expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.

Productivity

  • Notion

    I host my personal knowledge base in Notion. I created Databases there with various information. I also use it for project management.

  • Cal.com

    I use Cal.com for scheduling meetings. It is a great open-source alternative to Calendly. The free tier is more than enough for my needs.

  • Raindrop.io

    All my bookmarks are stored in Raindrop.io; I love the ability to tag and organize them, and they are available on all my browsers and devices.

  • tally.so

    Tally is my go-to tool for forms and surveys. I like their simple form builder, which works like a document editor.
