Tools and softwares I use daily

Discover the softwares and tools I daily used and also the ones I use for my side-projects.

Photo of my desk setup with pink and warm yellow Philips Hue lights. My white desk is composed with 2 screens with a colorful screen background. Two white speakers in each side of the desk. A gray keyboard and a black mouse on a black pad. A microphone on a black arm attached to the right side of the desk.

I also maintain on Github a list of the applications I use with more details than the current page. Checkout all my gear on Kit.co to see how I configured my home office but also my photographic and video gear and much more!

Essentials

Raycast

Alfred was the number one software I installed on any new Mac device (since 2015). But I decided to switch to Raycast and haven't look back.

1Password

After using LastPass, I switched to the Toronto based product: 1password has been my go to password manager for few years now.

Productivity

CleanShot X

By far, the best software for taking screenshots and screen recordings. Bought the licence the day it came out!

Eagle

After being a fan of Pixave, I moved to Eagle and it has been amazing! Eagle has regular updates and allow me to vizualize icons, photos, screenshots...

DEVONthink 3

I store all online articles, PDF and sometimes images on DEVONthink. The integration with macOS and the automation possibilities makes it perfect to handle my different workflows.

Fantastical

I use Fantastical to manage personal and professional events. The default Apple Calendar is far from having enough features for my needs.

Obsidian

Obsidian is a beautiful peace of software. I use it daily to keep track of courses I'm studying, goals for the year and projects I want to work on.

Coding

Tower

The most powerful Git client I've been using since 2015

iTerm 2

The best terminal emulator for macOS

Visual Studio Code

No need to present VSCode, one of the best code editors out there!

Audio / video

Logic Pro X

I'm a huge fan of Adobe Audition, but I can't justify paying for the subscription. Logic Pro is a very powerful audio workstation and does everything I need!

Final Cut Pro

I used Adobe Premiere for many years, but I fell in love with Final Cut Pro. The integration with other Apple devices and products makes it the best companion for editing all my videos.
