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, M3 Pro, 16GB RAM (2024)

    My first personal MacBook is this 16-inch model, and Apple's M3 chip is sensational. It makes all daily tasks, from design to development, feel effortless.

  • Apple Magic Keyboard

    I used to work with the Logitech MX Keys, but I consciously switched to the Magic Keyboard. Its design is fantastic, though it lacks backlighting, but the build quality is simply outstanding.

  • Shure MV7+

    I've been using the Shure MV7+ for several months now, and it's a fantastic microphone for recording podcasts and videos.

Development tools

  • Cursor

    I use Cursor Pro for web development, and it's fantastic. With the help of AI features, everything becomes more practical and effortless.

Design

  • Figma

    We started using Figma as just a design tool but now it’s become our virtual whiteboard for the entire company. Never would have expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.

  • Lucidchart

    I use Lucidchart to create diagrams and flowcharts for my projects. It's a great tool for visualizing complex systems and processes.
