Software, Gadgets & Tools I use

I was using an Intel-based 27" iMac before this one and the performance difference is huge! Once you go Apple Silicon, you simply can't go back. Everything just feels snappier — from boot time to spinning up a Next.js dev server to hot reloading at lightning speed.

I love the slim & compact design of this beautiful keyboard. The keys have a great tactile response and are well spaced, making typing on this keyboard a breeze. The battery life for this keyboard is amazing!

I love this magic mouse. It’s slim & fits well into my hand. But for some odd reason, Apple’s Magic Mouse has a charging port at the bottom of the mouse and makes it impossible to use while charging.

Google Antigravity is my go-to coding agent right now. It's an agent-first development platform where you delegate entire tasks to autonomous agents that can plan, write code, run terminal commands, and even open a browser to verify what they just built — all on their own. I still switch between this and Cursor depending on the task, but when I want to just describe what I need and let the agent take the wheel, Antigravity is where I start.

Cursor was my main editor before I discovered Antigravity, and I still reach for it all the time. It's an AI-first code editor built on top of VS Code, so the transition from a traditional editor is seamless. The way it understands your codebase context makes it feel like having a pair programmer sitting right next to you. I switch between Cursor and Antigravity depending on what the task calls for — and honestly, having both is a superpower.

I have been using PHPStorm for the last 14 years! I have customized keyboard shortcuts, color schemes, and plugins to make it work for me. I can’t imagine my life without it.

Warp is my biggest companion these days. It's a modern, AI-powered terminal that completely changed how I interact with the command line. The ability to search through command history, get AI suggestions, and run commands in blocks makes it feel like the terminal should have always worked this way.

TablePlus has become an indispensable tool for me, as I use it on a regular basis to connect to my databases. It’s fast, reliable, and beautifully designed user interface. Additionally, I find it particularly helpful for writing SQL code before implementing it in my Laravel applications.

Raycast completely replaced Spotlight for me and I can't imagine going back. I use it all the time — launching apps, searching files, running snippets, managing clipboard history, and a lot more. It's one of those tools that quietly becomes part of your muscle memory and you only realise how much you rely on it the moment it's gone.

Wispr Flow is an AI-powered voice dictation tool and I have been loving it. It lets me write — emails, messages, code comments, notes — just by speaking. It's surprisingly accurate and has genuinely saved me a lot of time on things that used to feel like chores to type out.

I use LastPass to manage all my passwords. I honestly cannot imagine trying to keep track of everything without a password manager at this point. It integrates well into the browser and saves me from the headache of forgotten passwords.

I am not a designer but still I use it almost everyday. Our designers share their work with me on Figma and I use it to review and give feedback.

Slack has been a vital tool for communication and collaboration within my team. It provides seamless integration with other tools, allowing for efficient workflow. With features such as channels, direct messaging, and file sharing, Slack streamlines communication and enhances productivity.
