Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
It's not about the tools but I do love gear and new shiny things! Here's what I use.
Workstation
13” MacBook Air, M1 Max, 16GB RAM (2020)
I bought this as a stop gap after my macbook pro died and i've not looked back. The M1 flies through development and design work and never seems to struggle!
Ipad Air 5th Gen & Apple Pencil
Great for everyday or a second screen when on the move. Used for planning and drawing mainly!
Logitech MX Mechanical Mini
A solid mechanical keyboard, good for chucking in a bag or leaving on your desk. Looking for something that doesn't have logitech bloatware though!
Logitech MX Master 3 & MX Anywhere 3s
The Master is my go to desk mouse, good controls and comfy. The mini I love, goes with me everywhere!
Development tools
VSCode
Does what it says on the tin. I am eyeing up NeoVim though...
iTerm2
Every Terminal should have the features it does! Never let me down.
Arc
Not a dev tool as such but my go to browser!
Design
Figma
Figma is my go to for all design work, as well as prototyping and whiteboarding whenworking with others.
Productivity
Milanote
Does the job and I like the flexibilty. I use this for planning dev work, videos, shoots and day to day notes.
ChatGPT
I don't really have to explain this one, do i?
Other Hardware
DJI Mic & TX
Great Mic for videos or voice overs. Super easy to get up and running and just works.
Iphone 14 Pro
Go to device for everything, including filming!
Sony A6000
Really need to update this one day but for days out shooting photos or filming B-Roll I can't complain.
