What I use

The hardware, software and small tools I rely on every day. People ask often enough that it earned its own page.

Workstation

  • 14" MacBook Pro (M3 Pro, 36 GB)

    Fast enough that I stopped thinking about it.

  • Dell U2723QE 27" 4K monitor

    USB-C hub built in; one cable to the laptop.

  • Keychron Q1 with Gateron Browns

    Heavy, quiet, and a pleasure to type on.

  • Logitech MX Master 3S

    Horizontal scroll wheel is great for wide tables.

  • IKEA Bekant sit/stand desk

    Standing for the first hour of the day.

Editor & terminal

  • VS Code

    With Vim keybindings, Error Lens and the axe Accessibility Linter.

  • JetBrains Mono, 14px

    Ligatures off. Line height 1.6.

  • Ghostty + fish shell

    Starship prompt, zoxide and fzf for jumping around.

  • Theme: Tokyo Night

    Light mode during the day, dark after sunset.

Development

  • Chrome & Firefox DevTools

    Performance panel and accessibility tree, daily.

  • Playwright

    End-to-end and visual regression tests.

  • VoiceOver & NVDA

    Every feature gets a screen reader pass before review.

  • Polypane

    Testing many viewports and colour schemes at once.

Apps & everyday

  • Obsidian

    Notes, drafts for this site, and a daily log.

  • Raycast

    Launcher, clipboard history and window management.

  • Figma

    Pairing with designers and inspecting specs.

  • AirPods Pro + Spotify

    Lo-fi for focus, podcasts for chores.
