Tools
A curated list of apps, websites, and tools I find useful in my day-to-day work. Everything from code editors and design tools to browser extensions and hosting platforms.
Development
Fallow
Codebase intelligence for TypeScript and JavaScript — unused code, duplication, circular deps, complexity hotspots, and architecture boundaries. Rust-native and fast.
Browserino
Tiny macOS browser selector built with SwiftUI — pick which browser opens links without changing your system default.
DBngin
Native app to run PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and Redis locally — multiple versions and ports, no Docker or VMs required.
Colima
Lightweight container runtimes on macOS and Linux — Docker-compatible workflows, optional Kubernetes, and a solid Docker Desktop alternative.
Cursor
AI-powered code editor built on VS Code — agents, tab completion, and deep codebase understanding for faster development.
Ghostty
Fast, native terminal emulator with GPU acceleration — tabs, splits, and a true macOS SwiftUI app with Metal rendering.
Bruno
Git-native, offline-first API client — collections as plain text in your repo, no cloud sync or account required.
LM Studio
Run and serve LLMs locally on your hardware — chat, model discovery, and an OpenAI-compatible API without sending data to the cloud.
Design & Productivity
Notion
All-in-one workspace for notes, docs, wikis, and project management.
Raycast
Spotlight replacement for macOS. Blazing fast launcher with amazing extensions.
Excalidraw
Virtual whiteboard for sketching diagrams. Simple and collaborative.
SVGL
Beautiful library of SVG logos for brands and tech stacks — easy to browse, copy, and use in projects.
Karakeep
Open-source bookmark-everything app — save links, notes, and PDFs with AI tagging, full-text search, and optional self-hosting.
AppFlowy
Open-source Notion alternative — wikis, databases, and kanban boards with offline support and full control of your data.
Organise
Week-first task planner — drag tasks across days, day views with time blocks, projects, backlog, and a keyboard-driven command palette.
LocalSend
Open-source, cross-platform file sharing over your local network — encrypted peer-to-peer transfers with no internet or cloud required.
Stirling PDF
Open-source PDF toolkit — merge, split, convert, OCR, sign, and more via desktop app, browser UI, or self-hosted server.
Notion Calendar
Calendar app that unifies Google Calendar with Notion — schedule database items, manage events, and sync two-way with dated Notion pages.
Communications
Browser Extensions
Hosting & Infrastructure
Vercel
Deployment platform for frontend projects. Instant previews and great DX.
Netlify
Another great hosting platform. Excellent for static sites and serverless functions.
Coolify
Open-source, self-hostable PaaS for deploying apps, databases, and services to your own servers — push-to-deploy, automatic SSL, no vendor lock-in.
Tailscale
Zero Trust mesh VPN for secure access to devices, servers, and homelab services — wireguard-based, easy setup, generous free tier.
GitHub Actions
CI/CD built into GitHub. Great for automating builds, tests, and deployments.
Learning & Reference
Mac Apps
LinearMouse
Mouse and trackpad utility for Mac — per-device profiles, custom scrolling, pointer acceleration control, and button remapping.
Pearcleaner
Free Mac app uninstaller — finds caches, preferences, and support files left behind and removes them in one click.
Shottr
Tiny, fast screenshot app for Mac — scrolling capture, OCR, pixel ruler, annotations, and color picker, optimized for Apple Silicon.
Hyperkey
Remap Caps Lock to a hyper modifier (⌃⌥⌘⇧) — unlock conflict-free shortcuts in any app, ideal with Rectangle and Raycast.
