Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

I feel compelled to share the tools I use to build software, stay productive, or at least try. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Productivity

  • Fig.io

    I am a early user of this incredile software that started as a cli autocomplete tool, but now its functionality extends to dotfiles, scripts and servers. I am a contributor of its autocomplete open source project with +23K stars on Github.

  • Raycast

    Raycast, as it says, is simply supercharged productivity. It is a fast launcher with useful core features built-in such as windows management, quicklinks, global calculator, clipboard history, etc, but you can add more in the Extensions store or create your own one.

  • Notion

    This is an easy-to-use and advanced workspace at the same time. From managing your projects to expenses, this tool helps you track whatever you want. Worth a try!

Development tools

  • Visual Studio Code

    The most complete and rich-featured IDE is the market by far. Also, very customizable thanks to the extensions store.

  • iTerm2

    My go-to terminal replacement each time I get a new laptop. User profiles, theme customizable, copy-on-select mode, and much more.

  • Postman

    Great software for working with databases. Has saved me from building about a thousand admin interfaces for my various projects over the years.

Workstation

  • 13” MacBook Pro, Intel i5, 16GB RAM (2020)

    Currently, I’m using an Intel-based laptop, but I’m planning to move to a M2-chip model, so I’ll use that extra boost on performance on my new projects.

  • 34” Curved Monitor Full HD (USB Type-C)

    There is definitely a before and after having used an extra ultrawide monitor. The productivity of having the code and the browser with the app I’m working on in the same screen is wonderful.

  • MX Master 3 and MX Keys (Logitech)

    This is a perfect combination of mouse + keyboard, both wireless devices that can connect up to 3 devices with ease and, best of all, the design is so aesthetic.
