Tools & Stack

Software and services I rely on daily.

I have ADHD, which means I swap tools like socks. If something is on this list, it survived a brutal rotation of alternatives and actually fits how my brain works. That's the highest compliment I can give a piece of software.

Development

Claude Code - The only game in town if you're serious about AI-powered development.
Zed - Native, fast, not Electron. Just feels snappy.
GitHub - Where the public code lives.
Forgejo - Self-hosted Git for sensitive stuff. Gitea fork.

Infrastructure

Tailscale - Keeps all my servers and machines connected, but shut from the internet.
Dokploy - Replaced Fly.io, Netlify, and DigitalOcean. One tool to rule them all.
Hetzner - Dedicated servers from the auction. EU, affordable, reliable.
Docker - If I could, I would Dockerize my life.

Marketing & SEO

Ahrefs - The only SEO tool that matters.
Umami - Privacy-first analytics. Self-hosted, no cookie banners.

Productivity

Syncthing - Private file sync across all my devices. No cloud, no company.
cmux - Manages multiple Claude Code sessions from one terminal.
Todoist - Task management. Connected to my Claude Code workflow.
Notion Calendar - Best calendar app in town, for now.
PARA + Markdown - My second brain. Markdown files managed through Claude Code and Zed.

Daily Drivers

Arc - My browser. Clean, fast, and actually rethinks what a browser should be.
VoiceInk - Voice to text with local Parakeet models. Real-time transcription.
Meetily - Meeting recording. Completely offline, local LLM models.
iA Presenter - Presentations in Markdown. Everything is a file.
Claude Desktop - Always running.
Raindrop.io - Bookmarking, organized.
Spark Mail - Email that gets out of the way.
Slack - Team communication. Nothing else works as well.
