Software and hardware I use on a regulary basis

These are the things I use to 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, M1, 32GB RAM (2021)

    I was using an Intel-based 16” MacBook Pro prior to this and the difference is night and day. Especially when it comes to battery duration.

Development tools

  • PhpStorm

    I switched to PhpStorm from Sublime Text a few years ago and cannot imagine not using an IDE anymore. I surely struggle sometimes with the performance but I do not want to be missing out on some of the essential features like automatic refactoring.

  • iTerm2

    I’m honestly not even sure what features I get with this that aren’t just part of the macOS Terminal but it’s what I use.

  • TablePlus

    Great software for working with databases. Has saved me from building about a thousand admin interfaces for my various projects over the years. It is ok to look at and easy to use.

Productivity

  • Raycast

    I switched to Raycast from Alfred a few months ago and I’m really happy with the speed improvement. Even started to build some custom extensions since it is all possible in JavaScript.

  • TickTick

    Honestly I do not know why I started using TickTick. But I need some To-do app or I would forget everything. It is simple. It's synchronized to my phone. It works.
