Tools & Hardware

I have been asked to compile a list of tools and services I use on a daily basis. This is that list.

code-editing

cursor Has the best tab completion and agent mode that supports many models
zed + claude code Excellent speed, vim mode and good enough support for many languages

development-tools

ghostty Fast startup time and macos native features
zsh + oh-my-zsh Slightly better experience than bash
jq Instead of writing a script to parse JSON, I can just use jq
lazygit Quickly see git changes and history
lazydocker Visualize everything happening in Docker in a single screen

productivity

raycast Quick access apps and join calendar meeting links
yabai Reduces time spent jumping between windows
things My primary capture system
timewarrior Tracking deep work hours

knowledge-management

obsidian Creating notes from courses, books and saving interesting articles
excalidraw Visually explaining things while facilitating and brainstorming solutions
perplexity For complex queries
instapaper Reading saved articles on a Kindle
