I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, and create efficiently. Here's a big list of all of my favorite stuff.
Apple products are pure design and flawless interaction, crafted for humans. Performance equals efficiency, so I refuse to wait on slow machines. Fast hardware keeps my flow unblocked (and yes, fast machines are a bit of a kink).
Perfect for cafe days when I need mobility. I brainstorm, read, and research on the iPad while my MacBook handles heavy lifting. It's my go-to for reviewing and annotating documents remotely.
Both screens stay side by side so I can context-switch without losing momentum. While code compiles or AI generates output, the second screen lets me draft blog posts or tackle other work.
Whether I'm in the office or at home, I need a flexible setup that keeps me moving. Switching between sitting and standing keeps my energy up and stops the boredom of staying in one position.
Safari feels native, fast, and secure — like the iPhone of browsers. Chrome is powerful but bloated; Safari keeps everything refined and design-forward.
My everything tool for notes, writing, drafts, and sharing. It swallows content from Word, spreadsheets, WhatsApp, or email without fuss and acts as the staging ground for everything I ship.
My brainstorming canvas. Paired with Apple Pencil Pro, it lets me sketch and ideate freely before anything moves into a structured doc.
JetBrains tools feel like tanks: sturdy, native, and purpose-built. They ship every feature I need for coding, debugging, refactoring, and they do it without feeling flimsy.
Ideal for quick edits, viewing files, or running lightweight tasks alongside AI chat extensions. When I need pure speed, this is it.
My favorite SSH client. No more reconfiguring terminals every time I switch machines or environments.
Still the most reliable way to make precise edits when I need full control over visuals.
I rotate between all three depending on the mood or track I'm hunting down. No single platform has everything, so keeping all three ensures I can always find the song I want.
Opera's picture-in-picture mode is unbeatable for floating YouTube videos while I keep working. Perfect background inspiration.
