Comprehensive list of software, hardware and services that I use daily.

My list is part of inspiring collection of /uses pages on https://uses.tech/.

Hardware

  • Laptop
  • Tablet – iPad Air 2021 (the last with non-M# chip). I use it mostly for work – brainstorming, ideation, writing by hand, etc.
  • Headphones – noise-cancelling Sony WH-1000XM3
  • Phone – Samsung S24 – I love it’s compactness (it fits every pocket) and flagship grade equipment.

Multi-platform apps

  • Notes – Microsoft OneNote, Notion
  • Multimedia casting – Chromecast
  • Podcasts – Google Podcast AntennaPod – I am still in search for a better cross-platform podcast app
  • File management – Google Drive
  • E-mail – Gmail
  • Chat – Slack (for work), WhatsApp, Viber, Discord
  • UX /UI – Figma
  • Streaming – Netflix and HBO Max
  • Movie Recommendations and ratings – JustWatch – I love this app because it allows me to browse the content on the Slovenian version of streaming services (f.i. Amazon Prime has much more content on US and UK version) and Rotten Tomatoes. But am still in search for better movie and TV recommendation system. After i rated more than 100 movies Netflix still does not seem to know what I like for my next movie.
  • Outdoor – Bikemap, Komoot

Mac Desktop Apps

  • Launcher – Raycast – I am originally a Windows user and am still stunned how good this search works
  • Mouse fix Mos – to make a mouse “Windows-like”
  • Hidden bar – to tidy-up your menu bar and hide some items
  • Calendar – Itsycal – great calendar app that sleeps in toolbar. Great for quick date checks
  • Screenshot’s – Shottr – great screenshot app that sleeps in toolbar
  • Remote work – MeetingBar – lifesaver in remote work with gazillion meetings. Never miss them again
  • Backup – Backblaze

Web & Productivity

  • Browser – Chrome (for work), Firefox Edge (for personal use). I try to divide personal work from professional work as much as possible and browser is half-job-done
  • Browser extensions:
    • Wappalyzer
    • AdBlocking: AdBlocker Ultimate – tested many of them. I think they all work mainly the same way
    • Cookies: I don’t care about cookies – if you are tired of clicking “Allow” 100times a day, this is a life-saver
    • SEO Analysis: MOZ bar
    • Password management – BitWarden – open-source password manager that I love
