Uses

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

• 1Password (Paid)
  1Password is literally the first thing I install on every new device.

• Bartender (Paid)
  Bartender helps keep my Mac’s status bar nice and tidy. I primarily keep things to the next calendar event, the SoundSource icon, and the built-in control center icon and time display.

• 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.

• 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 + i will open or focus Intellij, etc. You can find my personal config here.

• Raycast (Free)
  Raycast is a blazing fast alternative to Spotlight. I use it to launch apps, search my notes, and more.

• Homerow (Paid)
  Like Raycast or Spotlight for macOS. Click, navigate, and perform tasks with the keyboard and no mouse.

• 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!
