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
