Software

  • IDE: VS Code
    • Theme: Solarized Light
    • Font: Whatever is default on Mac??? Monaco?
  • Terminal: zsh (+ oh-my-zsh) running inside VS Code
  • Browser: Firefox as the daily driver, Safari for work.
    • Extensions: OneTab, uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, OctoLinker, SteamDB
  • Database management: TablePlus
  • VCS: I used Sourcetree for a good part of a decade due to its great branch visualization. Switched to a VS Code extension called Git Graph that accomplishes the same thing but doesn’t require me to switch apps. For other version control needs, VS Code’s UI and the terminal suffice.
  • Namecheap is my preferred domain registrar.

Check out my dotfiles.

Other software

  • Communications: Slack
  • Window management: Rectangle, spiritual successor of Spectacle. You need this if you’re coming from Windows.
  • Task management: A trusty todo.txt file most of the time, especially for work. Apple Reminders for timed tasks (and groceries). Notion for more complex planning.
  • Music: Spotify
  • ImageOptim for the occasional image optimization need.
  • SoundID Reference to calibrate my headphones.
