Intelligence Meets Productivity

As someone building AI tools, I'm obsessed with productivity.
Here's every app in my arsenal, organized by purpose,
with takes on why each one earned a spot on my dock.

🤖 AI & Automation

The future is here, and it's running locally on my MacBook

Alter

Our AI assistant that I use daily for everything from code reviews to content creation. It's like having a brilliant colleague who never sleeps and knows everything about your codebase.

Claude

When I need a second opinion or different reasoning approach. Claude's thoughtful responses make it perfect for strategic thinking and complex problem solving.

Raycast

My command center. Spotlight on steroids with AI integration, custom scripts, and workflows that save me hours every week.

⚡ Productivity Core

The essential trio that keeps my workflow smooth

Things 3

The only task manager I've stuck with for 3+ years. Natural language input, perfect GTD implementation, and it just gets out of your way.

Notion

Our company wiki, project management, and my personal knowledge base. The new calendar integration finally made it a complete workspace.

Arc

The browser that rethinks browsing. Vertical tabs, spaces, and AI features make it perfect for research-heavy work.

💻 Development

Tools for building the future of AI assistance

Linear

Issue tracking that feels like it was designed by developers, for developers. Fast, keyboard-driven, and beautiful.

Figma

Design collaboration that actually works. From wireframes to pixel-perfect mockups, it's where ideas become interfaces.

Xcode + iTerm2

Building native experiences requires native tools. Despite its quirks, nothing beats Xcode for iOS development, paired with iTerm2 for terminal work.

🔧 System & Utilities

The invisible tools that make macOS feel custom-built

Moom + Vanilla

Window management done right with keyboard shortcuts, plus menu bar cleanup. A clean menu bar is a clear mind.

CleanShot X

Screenshots and screen recording that make you look professional. Built-in annotation and cloud sharing save tons of time.

1Password

Security without friction. The SSH agent and developer tools make it indispensable for anyone managing multiple services and environments.
