Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I’m being productive when I’m really just procrastinating. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.
Development tools
Alfred
A Mac without Alfred is workstation in chains. — I use the functions keys just to launch about every programm, and the snippet manager is fantastic.
MAMP
Mamp on Mac is the easiest Tool to get up n running quick.
Codekit
Grunt or Gulp - do it with style on a Mac!
Visual Studio Code
Slow? Not on M1. It has all the features you need.
Nova
Last but not least — Panic's Nova editor is the most beautiful thing - as expected. Whenever I can avoid Visual Studio Code
VueDevTools
Brave with Vue Devtools is the best browser for Vue development.
Docker
you knew that!
Git
you knew that as well!
Design
Illustrator
Even though Figma and Invision are great products. The integration of Illustrator with the Adobe Suite is still unbeatable. — Why? Because Masks! (This is a full sentence)
The tools in Illustrator, particulary masks are awesome.Lightroom
As a semi professional photographer I use Lightroom to edit my photos — synced on all devices. The best for reviewing and editing photos on the go. — A great feature is the ability to send a collection to your clients from within the app.
Adobe XD
Okay - but WITH Illustrator - not on it's own.
Productivity
Clear
A beautiful todo list and reminder!
Forklift
The best FTP Client there is.
Message
The best thing for communication with clients. — And for ScreenSharing as well. Don't believe me? Try it out.
Prompt
Terminal on the go.
iStatMenus
What's the machine up to?
Billings Pro
Measure your time and write invoices
SiteSucker
Make a backup for my portfolio, before the layout is altered.
Maintenance
Scrutiny
Quick analysis of any website
Simon
I think Daleks are cute. — Simon thinks so too.
Hobbies
Giant Fully
A life without a bicylce is a life not worth living. — Okay that's dramatic, but I do love my bike.
Drums
ATV have a new Sound Module that elevates my old Roland Kit
Starcraft 2
