My favourite gadgets, software, and other recommendations.

I often get asked what tools and resources I use to develop software and maintain productivity, or what I use to purchase time when delaying. All of my favourite things are compiled here.

Development tools

  • JetBrains IDEs

    From PhpStorm to PyCharm and beyond, JetBrains IDEs cover all my development needs. They offer intelligent code completion, powerful debugging, and seamless version control integration across various programming languages.

  • Postman

    My go-to tool for testing and debugging APIs. Postman’s intuitive interface makes it easy to organize requests, collaborate with teammates, and manage different environments.

  • Warp Terminal

    A modern, GPU-accelerated terminal that offers rich text features, smart autocomplete, and team collaboration options—making it a massive productivity booster.

  • GitHub

    GitHub is my ultimate productivity tool, allowing me to collaborate with team members, track and resolve issues, and manage projects efficiently—all in one place.

  • Docker

    Using Docker, I can easily package and deploy my applications and services, saving time and effort while increasing my productivity as a developer.

Design

  • Figma

    I started using Figma as just a design tool but now it’s become our virtual whiteboard for the entire company. Never would have expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.

  • Pika

    A minimal, lightning-fast color picker that helps me quickly grab colors from any screen. It’s perfect for ensuring design consistency across projects.

  • Canva

    My go-to for quick, polished designs and templates—especially when I need eye-catching social media graphics or presentations without spending too much time in advanced design tools.

  • Mobbin

    An extensive library of mobile design patterns and UI inspiration. It’s invaluable for quickly seeing how real apps tackle design challenges.

  • Dribbble

    A fantastic community for design inspiration—whether I need fresh UI ideas or to see the latest trends, Dribbble is my go-to.

Productivity

  • Notion

    With Notion, I can easily organize and track my tasks, schedule, and notes all in one place, boosting my productivity and helping me stay on top of my workload.

  • Apple Music

    I use Apple Music to discover new tunes and keep my energy up throughout the day. Seamless integration with my Apple devices makes it super convenient.

  • Notion Calendar

    My go-to tool for visualizing deadlines and planning projects. Being able to integrate with other Notion pages ties everything together nicely.

Gadgets

  • MacBook Pro 16

    My main workhorse. The performance, battery life, and display quality are perfect for development, design, and multitasking.

  • Magic Keyboard and Mouse

    Comfortable typing experience and responsive tracking. Keeps the workspace neat and cable-free.

  • Studio Display

    Great color accuracy and ample screen real estate. Perfect for detailed design work and coding side by side.
