Uses
Last updated March 4, 2026
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.
Desk Setup
MacBook Pro 2023 14" M3 Max with 64GB RAM running macOS Tahoe. Samsung C34J79x ultrawide monitor. Glorious GMMK PRO 75% keyboard with Glorious Panda switches. Magic Trackpad. Standing desk with a Herman Miller Aeron (black) for when I sit.
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.
