Uses

A list of the tools, apps, and hardware I use daily. Inspired by uses.tech.

Editor + Terminal

PhpStorm and WebStorm are my primary editors. I use the Material Theme UI (Material Darker) with JetBrains Mono font, plus these plugins: Atom Material Icons, Key Promoter X, Mermaid, StringManipulation, and Collector. Sublime Text handles quick edits. For the terminal, I use iTerm2 with Oh My ZSH. Arc is my browser of choice.

Desktop Apps

Raycast, 1Password, Obsidian, TablePlus, Insomnia, Apple Music, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Todoist, Setapp, and Lightroom.

Recording

Shure MV7 microphone. Bose 700 headphones. Riverside for remote recording.

Backup + Storage

Backblaze for cloud backup. QNAP TS-464-8G NAS with 4x WD 8TB drives for local storage. Plex Media Server runs on the NAS for media streaming.
