Software
I am mostly in the Apple ecosystem and especially like:
- iA Writer on desktop and phone for writing
- VS Code for code
- ScreenFlow for videos
- Keynote for slides
- Firefox for websites
- Polypane for accessibility testing
I try to avoid:
- Microsoft Teams (because unreliable UI choices, unexpected permissions stuff)
- software with unnecessary AI
