My Daily Uses

A peek into my workspace and the tools I use every day to build, design, and create.

My workspace setup

workstation

  • MacBook Air 13"

    M1 Base 2020, 16GB Memory, 256GB SSD

    This MacBook is one of the best investments I've ever made. I bought the space gray version, and it's been more than enough to meet my coding requirements.

  • MacBook Pro 13"

    Intel i5, 2015, 8GB Memory, 128GB SSD

    My trusty old machine, now repurposed into a full-time home server for automation and media.

  • Raspberry Pi 5

    Full Kit, 16GB Memory, 64GB SD

    I got this Pi with a friend for my Final Year Project, but it's been very handy in helping us learn about Automation, Self-Hosting, and a lot more!

  • Xiaomi Redmi A27Q

    27 Inch, QHD 2K

    Probably my favourite purchase ever, the size, the colors, everything is perfect.

  • Logitech Pebble Mouse

    White

    This was a gift from my lovely girlfriend, so it's one of my most prized possessions. I love the minimal, sleek design, and how lightweight it is (do not scream at me about ergonomics).

  • Fenda F&D F580X

    2 Tweeters, 1 Sub Woofer

    I like speakers with good bass, and this one comes with a separate Sub Woofer. It's held up well, for over 7 years now.

  • Royal Kludge RK71

    RGB Backlight, Brown Switches

    Also a gift from my beautiful girlfriend! It's my first mechanical keyboard, and I've been loving it a lot. I'm yet to customize the full thing.

accessories

  • Bostitch Office Lamp

    A must-have, provides adequate backlighting for my Monitor.

  • Kaloc Monitor Arm

    My favorite gift ever (also from my amazing girlfriend). This single arm has changed my entire setup.

  • AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

    Can't really work outside without Lofi Jazz, or Yeat (no in between).

  • Transcend M3

    1TB HDD

    My primary storage for Media, Backups, and everything else. It's held up for over 5 years!

  • Hoco W35 Max

    I made the stickers myself.

    I mostly use these for listening to Podcasts or watching stuff on Youtube, as they're not really heavy on the Bass.

  • Scented Candle

    Miniso (Vanilla Spice)

    Sometimes when I really need to wind down, nothing beats getting on a call with my girlfriend, getting each other food, lighting up these candles, and binge watching stuff together.

figures

  • Kuromi Plushie

    My girlfriend won this for me at a claw machine game!

  • Roronoa Zoro

    I got this action figure as a gift from all my friends on my 24th.

  • Portgas D. Ace

    First action figure I ever got, a gift from my girlfriend too!

applications

  • Arc

    Daily Browser

    My daily driver, coding browser, all in one. Arc's UX is simply unbeatable. Pity they moved on to Dia, but I'll be sticking to this browser till Zen catches up.

  • VSCode

    Code Editor

    I started coding on this Editor, and haven't switched since. Pretty sure I don't need to explain anything about VSCode if you're a Programmer (and no, I don't like Cursor; Copilot is free, open source, and I have local models running).

  • iTerm2

    Terminal

    Classic, easy, smooth. I tried Ghostty, but ran into a lot of issues when SSH-ing into other machines, so I haven't been tempted to switch.

  • Raycast

    Spotlight Alternative

    This is a must-have. The only software missing on Macs by default. I also use Raycast for AI Chat.

subscriptions

  • ChatGPT

    Plus, $20/Month

    The only AI toolset worth paying for. OpenAI's overall AI system and sheer number of tools make it a no-brainer for my daily use. I don't use it for coding though.

  • No other subscriptions, really.

    I Self-Host all my media and use Open Source tools. I like the freedom it gives me.
