Terminal

iTerm2 I customized it by following Wes Bos’ course, Command Line Power User.

Terminal Font: Inconsolata for Powerline

macOS Desktop Apps

  • Raycast If you get nothing else, this is the tool to get. It has replaced so many apps for me, including Alfred. I heavily use AI chat, snippets, 2FA text codes, calculations, etc.
  • BetterTouchTool Great tool for customizing keyboard and trackpad shortcuts.
  • Franz Consolidate all of your various chat apps into one.
  • CleanShot Best screenshot and video/gif capture tool out there
  • Figma What I and almost everyone else uses these days to design.

Desk Setup

  • My desk is a Steelcase Airtouch. It’s a great desk, but I bought it before there were a lot more cheaper options, so don’t generally recommend due to the price.
  • My chair is an Ergohuman ME7ERG. I have a really long torso, so most arm rests aren’t tall enough for me—this was the only one I found that worked for me.
  • My speakers are ridonkulously old. I bought my Logitech X-530 in college and they’re still running strong. I’m not an audiophile by any means, so they get the job done for me.
  • My webcam is the Logitech HD Pro C920. It has a decent picture, but I generally can’t use the microphone as it doesn’t have good cancelling.
  • My keyboard is Microsoft Sculpt Comfort. The more “ergonomic” keyboards never felt quite right to me. this is a nice balance imo.
  • My trackpad is Apple’s Magic Trackpad. Gestures ftw. BetterTouchTool makes this trackpad actually feel magical.
