Toolbox
Here’s an extensive list of hardware and software I use every day and other things I recommend.
Coding
Dracula Theme
I love this dark theme. I use it in VSCode, Warp, Telegram, Slack, etc.
FiraCode
Great monospaced font. It's easier to read and has ligatures.
GitHub Copilot
The code completion is impressive, helping you code faster, write tests, and learn new things.
Visual Studio Code
After using Sublime for many years, I switched to VSCode like everyone else. It's fast, lightweight, and has numerous extensions.
Terminal
Design
Apps
Cron
Best calendar app for Mac and mobile.
DaisyDisk
I use this app to clean my Mac, which displays the sizes of folders and files.
Dashlane
I prefer Dashlane over LastPass and 1Password for my password manager due to its superior UI and UX.
Insomnia
I prefer Insomnia over Postman. It's faster and has a better UI.
LinearMouse
It helps me adjust my mouse's speed and acceleration beyond Mac's settings without using the terminal.
Magnet
I'm used to how Windows or GNOME manage their windows, , and it helps me organize them by dragging to the edges or using keyboard shortcuts.
Obsidian
I use it to take notes, and it's great for organizing and managing user and market research.
Stoplight
If you work with APIs and OpenAPI, this is a must-have; it's an excellent tool for managing your API documentation.
tldraw
My go to tool for whiteboarding. I used to use Excalidraw.
TickTick
My current choice for to-do lists. It has a great UI and UX.
TomatoBar
When I find hard to focus, I use the Pomodoro technique.
Services
Algolia
When it comes to incorporating search capabilities into any project, my go-to option is always the same.
Cloudflare
I use Cloudflare to manage my DNS and CDN for all my domains.
Google Domains
I moved all my domains. It's easy to manage, and they don't charge you for everything.
Google One
I used to use SugarSync, but it started to have annoying bugs. I moved to Google One, and I'm happy with it.
Grammarly
It improved my writing skills significantly, and I highly recommend it to non-native English speakers like me.
hCaptcha
Privacy-focused alternative to Google reCAPTCHA.
Last.fm
I love to see my music stats. I use Last.fm to track my music listening habits.
Linear
Amazing issue tracker. I use it for my personal and freelance projects. Jira no longer exists for me.
Literal
I use Literal to track my books and discover new ones.
Notion
I use Notion for my personal and project notes.
Odoo
A comprehensive and efficient solution for managing various aspects of business operations, from accounting, inventory, and manufacturing to HR.
Plausible
You can make informed decisions without cookies or personal data.
Shopify
My preferred e-commerce option, Hydrogen/Remix, offers the best developer experience for frontend development.
Trakt
I use Trakt to track my TV shows and movies watching habits and to discover new content.
Vercel
The best developer experience. Here where I host all my websites.
Screen recording
Setup
MacBook Air M1 (2020)
The M1 chip is fantastic. It has plenty of power to run all the apps I need, even Adobe CS and Android Studio.
Samsung 34" Monitor Ultra WQHD
Easier to work with two windows or more side by side. Perfect for frontend development and design
Apple Magic Trackpad
I got used to the gestures on my MacBook. It's a bit expensive, but it's worth it.
Apple Magic Keyboard
I'm not demanding when it comes to keyboards, and this one is comfortable to type, quiet, and combines well with the trackpad :P
Anker 533 USB-C Hub (5-in-1, Slim)
All I need in one place. I can connect my monitor, external hard drive and ethernet cable.
