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

Here’s an extensive list of all my favourite stuff where you can learn about the things I use to build software and stay productive.

Workstation

  • 13" MacBook Air, M3, 24GB RAM (2024)

    This is my laptop and it's been great for dev work.

  • LG 27UL850-W 27"

    This 4K display does the job and I love it, although if I were to buy a new screen now I would get a 32" one.

  • Magic Keyboard

    I like the feel of the keyboard, and it does the job.

  • Magic Trackpad

    I enjoy using this trackpad. I never had hand/wrist pain again since I replaced the mouse.

  • Flexispot Standing Desk

    Paired with an IKEA table top. I stand on my desk up to 2 or 3 times a day.

  • Sonos Play:1

    Music plays an important part in my workflow and helps me stay productive. I usually stream music from Spotify or listen to the radio.

Development tools

  • PhpStorm

    I've recently moved from VS Code to PhpStorm and been enjoying it more than I thought I would!

  • Warp

    The is my current terminal on mac. Their natural language feature is pretty good.

  • TablePlus

    After Sequel Pro stopped working on macOS the hunt for a new database management tool started. After trying a few of them, only TablePlus stuck.

  • Tinkerwell

    It's the perfect companion for every developer. It helps with debugging and quickly testing logic.

  • Ray

    This is a debugging tool I use frequently to make it easier to find even the most stubborn bugs.

Productivity

  • Raycast

    This is a launcher (and more) that replaces macOS spotlight and it's the ultimate productivity hack.

  • Cron Calendar

    The best calendar app I've used in a long time.
