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

  • 16″ MacBook Pro, M2 Pro, 32GB RAM (2023)

    Apple Silicon completely transformed my workflow. Compared to Intel Macs, the performance is incredible, the battery easily lasts a full day, and I haven't heard the fans once—even when running heavy development tasks.

  • Logitech MX Master 3S

    After years with the Apple Magic Mouse, I finally switched to the MX Master 3S—and I'm not looking back. It's incredibly comfortable, precise, and the customizable buttons are perfect for streamlining my workflow.

Development tools

  • Visual Studio Code

    It may not have all the features of a full IDE, but VS Code is fast, flexible, and endlessly extendable. With the right extensions, it becomes exactly what you need it to be.

  • Warp

    The default macOS Terminal hasn't changed in ages. Warp brings a modern, GPU-accelerated experience with a rich feature set, smart completions, and team collaboration tools. It's a massive upgrade from iTerm.

Productivity

  • Arc Browser

    Arc reimagines the browser experience with a focus on productivity and organization. The sidebar, split view, and Spaces make managing tabs and workflows a breeze. It's the only browser that truly feels built for modern work.

  • Raycast

    Spotlight is fine, but Raycast is built for developers. From clipboard history and window management to powerful extensions and scripts, it's like having a command palette for your entire system.
