Uses

Claude Code

Where most of my work starts these days, with my own skills and rules set up around it.

dmux

A few agents at once, each in its own worktree, so they don’t step on each other.

Wispr Flow

Probably talking to Claude more than typing to it at this point. I use it for as much as I can.

Neovim , / LazyVim

Kept close to the LazyVim defaults, tweaking a bit as I go.

Kanagawa Dragon , / JetBrains Mono

Same theme in the editor and the terminal, so it all kinda blends together.

Ghostty

Replaced iTerm2 for me. Fast and pretty low maintenance so far.

tmux , / tmuxinator

A session per project, so I can jump back in where I left off.

zsh , / Oh My Zsh

Nothing fancy, a couple of plugins for git and autosuggestions.

fzf , / zoxide , / ripgrep , / bat , / fd , / gh

zoxide and fzf for getting around, ripgrep whenever I need to find something.

chezmoi

Keeps the setup the same across my work and personal Macs.

React , / React Native , / Expo , / Next.js , / Astro , / Vue

React by default. Astro for content sites like this one, and Expo whenever it has to ship to a phone.

Electron

For the desktop app work I’m doing at the moment.

TanStack Query , / Zod

Server state and validation sorted, so I can focus on the actual feature.

Tailwind

Still my preferred way to style things, with colour tokens in OKLCH.

Node , / Hono , / Convex

Hono on Node for APIs. Convex when I want a real backend, not the client hitting the database directly.

Vitest

Fast and plays nicely with Vite, so not much config to look after.

Vite , / pnpm , / bun , / Volta

Volta keeps Node versions in check per project. pnpm or bun depending on the repo.

TypeScript

Everywhere I can, even for the small stuff.

Canvas

The terrain on the home page is plain Canvas 2D, no library needed.

Three.js

My go-to for any 3D or visual stuff in the browser.

GLSL

For shaders, when the GPU should be doing the heavy lifting.

D3 , / Visx

Visx when it lives in a React app, D3 when I need a bit more control.

Web Audio , / Tone.js

Old habit from my Sonic Arts PhD. Tone.js on top when I want to move a bit faster.

Helium

Chromium underneath, with a lot less in the way.

Raycast

My Spotlight replacement, plus clipboard history, window management and the emoji picker.

OrbStack

Lighter than Docker Desktop and starts up a lot faster.

Figma

Mostly in the browser, for mockups and checking designs.

CleanShot X

Pretty much every screenshot and screen recording I take goes through it.

MacBook Pro

Usually whatever work hands me. I’m pretty conservative on specs anyway.

Ergodox EZ , / Moonlander

Ergodox at the desk, Moonlander when I’m on the go.

Logitech Lift

Vertical, so my wrist isn’t twisted all day.
