Everything I Use

Every piece of technology I use, in one convenient spot.

My Current Setup as of December, 11 2023.

I'm going to share everything I use on a daily basis to work, be productive, and relax.

The Hardware

For my desk setup I also use the following accessories:

  • An Anker USB-C Hub w/ an Apple USB-C Charging Cable for the true "one cable" desk setup.
  • USB KVM Switch to switch USB Devices between my MacBook and my Steam Deck.
  • I also keep another USB-C Hub in my bag for portable use.

The Software

A lot of my apps are cross-platform so you will see repeats. Apps will be organized by how they are laid out on my devices.

macOS

List is laid out by my Dock order, then by alphabetical.

  • Brave - Browser of choice

Extensions in Brave


iPhone

📱
I do a couple of weird things on my Phone. Mainly I keep it in Grayscale (unless using Camera/Photos), Do Not Disturb, and Low Power Mode 24/7. For more information, check out my blog post.

And that's about it. That's most if not everything I use on a daily basis (at least that's technology related!)
