Things I use to get work done

A curated list of the tools, gadgets, and resources that are integral to my daily routine, whether I'm coding, managing projects, or simply staying organized.

Workstation

  • 16” MacBook Pro, M1 Pro, 16GB RAM (2022)

    This is my daily driver on which I build all things. I also have a 13” M1 MacBook Air that I use for travel and as a backup.

  • LG UltraFine Series 32” 4K Ultra HD LED Monitor

    I have been using this since 2022 and it’s been great. I would recommend everyone to always code on a 4K monitor or swtiching between a MacBook screen and monitor screen becomes a nightmare.

  • Keychron K2 v2 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

    Hot swappable Gateron Brown Switches with RGB backlighting.

  • Apple Magic Trackpad

    Nothing comes close to the Apple Magic Trackpad if you are a trackpad person. You get the added advantage of being able to use all multi touch gestures that MacOS supports.

  • Airpods Pro 2nd Gen

    Get's the job done with good noice cancelllation capabilities. Ideal for when I take meetings while walking.

  • Bose QC 35 II

    For listening to music or working at the desk. Though my usage of these headphones has reduced quite a bit since I do most of the things on the AirPods now.

  • Apple Watch Series 7

    I don't know why I own this.

Development tools

  • VSCode Insiders

    I use the insiders version of VSCode as my daily driver. It’s been great so far and I have no complaints. I am looking to try out Zed and Cursor soon.

  • iTerm2

    Basic setup with OhMyZSH and powerlevel10k theme.

  • Notion

    I am a big fan on Notion. Personal life management, note taking, work documentation, and any sort of writing goes here.

  • Linear

    My tool of choice for issue tracking.

Productivity and Health

  • Raycast

    Raycast has completely transformed the way that I work on my Mac with all the superpowers on my finger-tips.

  • HealthifyMe

    For tracking food intake. There are better alternatives but I haven't found anything that has such a big catalogue on Indian foods
