My setup

Here's what I use on a daily basis for development and productivity.

Desk

Development

  • Cursor Pro : Primary code editor with AI capabilities, autocomplete has become part of my life. ($20/month)
  • Ghostty : Fast, modern, and minimal terminal emulator.
  • Google Chrome : My goto browser for development, no more explanation needed.
  • Perplexity : My goto search engine at this point. ($20/month)

Productivity

  • Zen Browser : My primary browser, love the keybindings, minimal look and so much more real estate, and it's Open Source!
  • Notion : Use this everyday for personal journaling, habit tracking and professional work.
  • Notion Calendar : Can't appreciate this enough, use this and then go back to Google Calendar, I dare you.
  • Raycast : Well, life made easier, the first thing I will install if i get a new Mac. Builtin clipboard, file search, calculator, focus mode, and so much more.
  • Apple Books : Yeah a weird one, but the UX is just beautiful, read so many books on it.
  • Yabai : Mac window managament sucks, and this is far far better, and it's Open Source.
  • Yazi : An open source terminal based file manager, and it's just so good to rapidly navigate through files.
  • Olauncher : Open source dumb launcher for your phone, using it from past 2 years.
  • Nebo : A great alternative to Freeform, and a lot more flexible. (₹999 one time)
  • 1Password : Makes life easier. (From my employer)

Notable Mentions

  • Handtool Kit : Something which makes me feel more engineer.
  • Japanese Santoku Knife : Multi purpose knife, comfortable and sharp, bought from my local Reliance mart, I cut vegetables just to use that knife.
  • Philips Airfryer NA231 : Swiss Army Knife for my kitchen, works for baking, microwave, deep fry, stir fry, everything.
