Uses

Here’s a list of equipments and tools that I use for work and personal work-like hobbies.

Devices

Sometimes I use git in the CLI
Sometimes I use Fork when I’m bored. (I have a license, weird flex.)
I also have a license for Sublime Merge since I bought it as a bundle with Sublime Text 4. I use it when my mood dictates me to use it.
TablePlus for relational databases. I thought I needed 2 licenses, could’ve lived with just one.
Figma at work, Penpot for personal endeavors.
Excalidraw for quick diagrams and even wireframes.
I still use Balsamiq Wireframes Desktop app. For some reason, it’s still faster to wireframe using Balsamiq.

LogSeq for my notes at work.
- I’m not decided what to use for my personal notes ever since ditching Bear.
I still use Apple Notes when using my iPad because it got better Apple Pencil support.
We use Confluence at work… because Jira.
Slack for work.
Forcing Discord for non-gaming use.
1Password for now, but will ditch this soon once my subscription ends.
- The older I get, the more Asian I become, i.e. the more cheapskate I become.
- Bitwarden is great, but their desktop app isn’t.
CleanShot X.
Shottr when I need the pixels.
Presentify for screen annotations while presenting.
Maccy as my clipboard manager.
Grammarly. Still better than Microsoft Editor.
Firefox at work, just because.
Safari for personal use.
- Not because it’s great, but because I’m trying out Apple Keychain as an alternative that would eventually help me ditch 1Password

I am unfortunately sucked into Steve’s walled garden, so I use Apple Music.
Apple Podcasts.
Reeder 5 to stay up to date with my favorite bloggers.
Kindle for my ebooks
OneDrive as my backup storage.
- Side note: Microsoft 365 Family is the cheapest “known” cloud service out there, even if you don’t get to take full advantage of its office desktop apps.
- My wife went back to Android, so we’ll use M$ for anything collaborative (Word, Excel, etc.).
iCloud for my photos, notes, and files.
