My Software EDC
24.11.2023
I saw Jack Baty talking about his Software EDC and I think this might be as interesting as defaults are. So let’s do it.
- Finder - not much to say here,
- Arc Browser - my main, default browser for Mac,
- Safari - sometimes I feel like browsing “less” internet, then I go to Safari also whenever I have to pay I’m using Safari so I can pay with Apple Pay,
- Tor Browser - I don’t know, downloaded it, put it into the dock but I didn’t really use it,
- Stock Calendar app,
- Obsidian - because I’m now Obsidian user apparently,
- Drafts - I was using drafts for most of my quick notes but…
- Tot - but Tot actually is a bit better for that, I love it and use it everyday on my Mac and I don’t even feel like I need to get iPhone counterpart (might just get it to pay for my Mac usage),
- Spotify - moved from Apple Music because Wifey made me do it (also it’s so much quicker than Apple Music ever was),
- Pocket Casts - my podcast player of choice,
- Things - personal to-do app,
- Akiflow - worky calendar with to-do app, works great, definitely here to stay but iOS app is right now underwhelming (thankfully I’m not using my phone for work most of the time, just to do calls),
- Home.app - to control our smart-home system,
- 1Password - self-explanatory,
- WebSSH - it isn’t the best ssh/sftp app, but it works great, syncs with my iPhone and I just like how it works, for most of my needs it’s more than enough,
- Mail.app - personal mail lives there,
- Mimestream - work mail lives here,
- MarsEdit - my blog/mastodon posting app of choice (this post is being created in MarsEdit!)
- Ivory - bought the yearly subscription, not really a fan but syncs with iPhone so I’m gonna use it until the end of it, then I’m gonna move exclusively to use Ice Cubes, 100%,
- GoodLinks - my read-it-later app of choice, I love how simple it is, syncs with iCloud, downloads everything to read it offline, just great
- Reeder 5 - synced with rss.wspanialy.eu, actually this is the only RSS Reader app that I was using for the past… 10 years? more?
- iBooks - yeah, not really sure, I’m not that big of a reader but I think I wanted to push myself more to read, didn’t really work out,
- Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram - work, family, friends,
- MacGPT - my ChatGPT client of choice, works pretty fine
- Slack - work,
- Restaumatic RePOS - our Point of Sales system app that I’m working on,
- Lightroom and Photoshop - so I can tune my photos to look even better,
- Sketch - actually right now I’m using it to create memes only, but this is also the only graphic tool I’m using whenever I want to create a mockup,
- Photos - photos,
- App Store - so I can quickly force update apps,
- Epic Games - to play Magic: The Gathering Arena,
- Steam - not really in use right now, but I have some games I’ve installed from Steam (and never opened them).
That’s it, that’s my stack. This is what I’m using nearly everyday. What’s yours?
