Uses
A living document of the tools and setup I rely on.
Hardware
- MacBook Pro 14" (M3 Pro)
- Main machine. Runs cool, lasts all day, handles everything I throw at it.
- Apple Studio Display
- Clean and sharp. One cable for everything.
- Keychron Q1 Pro
- Mechanical keyboard with Gateron Brown switches. Quiet enough for calls.
- Logitech MX Master 3S
- The scroll wheel alone is worth it.
Editor & Terminal
- VS Code
- With a stripped-down setup. Minimal extensions, lots of keyboard shortcuts.
- Ghostty
- Fast terminal emulator. Native on macOS, feels instant.
- Fish Shell
- Autosuggestions and syntax highlighting out of the box.
- Neovim
- For quick edits and when I want to feel like a hacker.
Development
- Next.js
- Default framework for web projects. App Router all the way.
- Tailwind CSS
- Fast iteration, consistent design tokens.
- Supabase
- Postgres + auth + realtime without the ops burden.
- Vercel
- Push to deploy. Hard to beat the DX.
- Rust
- For CLI tools and anything that needs to be fast and correct.
Design & Writing
- Figma
- For UI mockups and component exploration.
- iA Writer
- Distraction-free writing. Markdown only.
- Excalidraw
- Quick diagrams and sketches. The hand-drawn look keeps things informal.
Productivity
- Raycast
- Launcher, snippets, clipboard history, window management. Replaced a handful of apps.
- Arc Browser
- Spaces and profiles keep work and personal browsing separated.
- 1Password
- Passwords, SSH keys, API tokens. All in one place.
