Uses

A list of various tools and services that I use and recommend.

• Bear (Paid)

  I've tried many note taking applications over the years and Bear notes has been the only app to really stick. I use a combination of PARA for organization and a tags to organize my daybook.

• BetterMouse (Paid)

  While I love my MX Master 3S, I don’t love the software that Logitech provides. I’ve found BetterMouse to be a capable alternative!

• Homerow (Paid)

  Like Raycast or Spotlight for macOS. Click, navigate, and perform tasks with the keyboard and no mouse.

• Raycast (Free)

  Raycast is a blazing fast alternative to Spotlight. It lives at the heart of my workflow and I use it to launch apps, search my notes, resize and position windows, and more.

• Karabiner-elements (Free)

  Karabiner is my default tool for remapping keys on my Mac, primarily for enabling my Hyper Key workflow. I use the hyper key in conjunction with Raycast so that I can launch my most often-used apps via shortcuts. For example, hyper + t will launch or focus my Terminal window, hyper + c will open or focus Intellij, etc. You can find my personal config here.

• Cleanshot (Paid)

  CleanShot quickly replaced MacOS’s built in screenshot tooling for me. It’s a one-stop shop and has everything I need for sharing what I’m working on with my team.

• 1Password (Paid)

  1Password is literally the first thing I install on every new device.
