Software
I am mostly in the Apple ecosystem and especially like:
- iA Writer on desktop and phone for writing
- Nova for code
- ScreenFlow for videos
- Keynote for slides
- Librewolf for the web
- Polypane for accessibility testing
Alternatives for AI bloat
I try to avoid software with unnecessary AI. In fact, Over time, some products got increasingly pushy about AI features, so I replaced:
- VS Code with Nova
- Netlify with Statichost
- Firefox with Librewolf
Hardware
With dates, because I want to be sustainable by maximising how much time I get out of each. I don't always succeed.
