# Uses

> The tools I rely on day to day. Updated whenever I switch something out for something better.

## Workstation

The desk, screens, and input devices I use every day.

- [**Apple MacBook Pro 14-inch (M5)**](https://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/). Mac since college; no plans to change.
- [**Ultimate Hacking Keyboard v2**](https://ultimatehackingkeyboard.com/). Split design. Fixed my wrist pain in 2020 and still going.
- [**Logitech MX Vertical**](https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/mice/mx-vertical-ergonomic-mouse.910-005447.html). Looks weird, feels great.
- [**Samsung 32" Odyssey Neo G8**](https://www.samsung.com/us/monitors/gaming/). Mini-LED, 4K, absurdly fast. My main panel.
- [**LG 27UN880-B UltraFine 27" UHD**](https://www.lg.com/us/monitors). Second screen on the ergo arm.

## Development

Where I write code and run commands.

- [**VS Code**](https://code.visualstudio.com). Daily driver since college. I'll use JetBrains IDEs for larger projects.
- [**Warp**](https://app.warp.dev/referral/2W6LEL). Replaced iTerm. Shareable blocks, command palette, AI suggestions.

## Productivity

Notes, shortcuts, and a little structure for the day.

- [**Raycast**](https://www.raycast.com). Spotlight replacement with custom extensions and workflows. Replaced Alfred.
- [**Obsidian**](https://obsidian.md). The first note app that stuck with my ADHD brain. Daily.
- [**Session**](https://go.setapp.com/invite/3sztpuuq). Pomodoro timer with analytics. Helps me actually sit down and focus.

## Design

For interface work and component design.

- [**Figma**](https://www.figma.com). Full-time at Podia. Component composition is great.

## AI

Coding assistants and tools for reviewing their work.

- [**Claude Code**](https://claude.com/claude-code). Agentic coding in the terminal. Where most of my dev work happens now.
- [**Codex**](https://openai.com/codex/). OpenAI's coding agent. Second opinion alongside Claude Code.
- **Plannotator**. Review and annotate plans and diffs before I let an agent run with them.
- **herdr**. Wrangles my agents and background tasks.
