Tools I use

As of the time I'm writing this, I've tracked a total of 653 workouts with Strong. I do not think that any workout tracking can even measure up to Strong when it comes to strength training. It just does so much.

Great tool to track runs. I use their app on my watch to track my runs, pace, etc.

Griply feels like a tool built for me. It provides clear structure and alignment that helps me go from goal to action and build habits in support of my goals. The app is beautifully designed, simple and easy to use, with a great insights panel that tracks my progress.

I do timeboxing, so keeping a calendar is essential for me. Cron is the best tool I've found to help me plan and schedule. It syncs with Google Calendar, which I use as the 'back-end'.

This is the best time tracking tool that I've been able to find. Essential for knowing whether you're spending time your time as you intended or not.

This is the best email client I've ever used. I used to have to switch between multiple Gmail and Outlook accounts. This is a lifesaver for email productivity.

A powerful utility program that has many different features. My favorite is FancyZones, which lets me create window layouts - fantastic for ultra wide monitors. I'm also enjoying the Run launcher.

Notion is an incredibly versatile tool with a powerful database system. I have used it for basically everything: writing, capturing articles, tracking workouts, tracking finances, and a ton of other stuff.

This tool has, in many ways, greatly improved my ability to create and think.

Brilliant tool for revisiting what you've read. Although, I mostly use it as a database to store highlights and notes, which I export to Obsidian.

Reader is the best app for reading I've found. This is where I read & write notes on articles, books, PDFs, etc. I also use it to save sites & videos to visit later.

I use Anki to augment my memory. It is the best tool for handling flashcards that I've found; and it's free & open source.

This is the best reference manager that I've found. I use it to keep track of the papers and other scientific material I read.

Calibre is the best ebook management software I've found. I use it to organize my digital library, convert between formats, and sync to my e-reader.

My go-to podcast player. Pocket Casts has excellent sync across devices, great discovery features, and a clean, intuitive interface for managing podcasts.

I use Cursor for almost all of my development. It's an AI-powered code editor built on VSCode with excellent AI features for coding assistance.

Windows Terminal is a modern, fast, efficient terminal application for users of command-line tools. I use it through WSL and it has been a great experience.

This has become my primary browser. Zen is a Firefox-based browser focused on privacy and customization with a beautiful, minimalist design.

This has become my favorite tool for creating and editing videos.

The best screen recorder I've come across.
