Software I Use

On My Mac

• Obsidian
  • The perfect note-taking software: open source and snappy. I like using a grey accent for the theme to get that monochrome feeling. Vim keybindings, of course.
• Cursor
  • Vim keybindings and Serendipity Midnight theme. I hide almost all the toolbars.
• Hyper terminal
  • I find it nicer to use than iTerm2
• Unread
  • Newsletters are good but having them in my inbox is kind of stressful, I just keep them in Unread
• JustFocus
  • Pomodoros help me keep focused because I can say to myself that all I have to do is focus for 25 minutes and that gets my momentum going
  • You have to go into the advanced preferences to set a hotkey for starting a pomodoro
• Numbers
  • I prefer using Numbers for spreadsheets because it feels cleaner and the fact that it is local (as oppposed to Google Sheets) means that it’s snappier
• Zotero
  • Decent PDF library manager

Browser Plugins

• Control Panel for Twitter
  • Hide the UI elements to make your TL less noisy

Web Apps

• alyx
  • my bookmark manager, public by default so my friends can see what I’m up to
