Uses


In this page I am writing down all the Tools I'm using, home Office setup, Hardware, Software, or Camera setup that I am using, and they are going to be updated regularly

If there is anything that I'm missing and you would like to know about, Tweet me and I will add it here

Desk setup

  • I have the famous set/standing IDÅSEN desk from Ikea
  • I'm sitting on SIHOO Ergonomic office chair
  • while standing I use FLEXISPOT Floor mat, which makes standing for long time less painful

Hardware

  • I have a Mac-mini 2018 as my main desktop computer (3.2 GHz 6-core Intel Core i7, 32GB DDR4 RAM, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB, 1TB HD) + Macbook Pro 2020 for portable work
  • The monitor in front of me is a 32inch Samsung U32R59X and the one on my right is a 27inch Samsung C27F396F
  • I use (apple's Magic keyboard) NuPhy75 Mechanical keyboard with low profile switches and Gateron blue
  • I switched to use Apple's Trackpad after long time using Logitech M330 silent mouse
  • I use Sony WH-1000XM3 as my main headset, specially with the noise cancellation
  • Currently I use Blue snowball as my main mic for recordings and meetings
  • My Youtube videos are usually shooted using Canon 80D camera, standing on a Manfrotto tripod
  • HP Envy Photo 6220 printer, it is a savior for me before traveling and to print coloring pages for kids
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max, still don't feel the need to upgrade 🤷‍♂️
  • Apple watch series 4, again it is sufficient for my needs and don't feel to upgrade
  • Kindle Oasis for reading and listening to books

Software

  • Bitwarden as a password manager
  • Notion as my main note taking app
  • Miro as a mind mapping tool for charts
  • Day One for the first time (Jan 2022) for my daily journal and so far so good
  • Mainly using Raycast as launcher for being extensible and fast
  • For daily Todos I'm using Todoist pretty nice and focused, also love the 2 ways binding with my calendar.
  • for video editing I'm currently using Adobe Premiere Final Cut Pro
  • Dozer for organizing menu bar icons
  • more about what I use checkout my dotfiles on Github

Developer Tools

  • I'm using VSCode as my main code editor, usually on Night Owl dark theme, and font Victor Mono mostly italic.
  • I'm using Chrome as my main browser, but sometimes I use Safari as well
  • I use Git for all my projects and use Github for hosting my side projects
  • Terminal wise: I used Zsh for long time and switched to fish later, (I explored Fig and liked it with some concerns, and recently Warp and loved how fast it is _build with Rust_)
  • REST client: I used Postman but for long time I depend on Insomnia as Postman was not working on linux before, and recently I discovered an extension in VSCode called Thunder Client which make it easier and faster
