Inspired by Brian Lovin's stack, this is a brief list of the apps I use daily.

Design

  • Claude Code. Product definition and prototyping
  • Cursor. For frontend details and manual tweaks
  • Figma. Quick, disposable UI and visual explorations

Productivity

  • Things. Task management
  • Raycast. Launcher
  • Simplify Gmail. Underrated Chrome extension that makes Gmail surpisingly clean.
  • Fantastical. Task management for Mac and iOS.
  • Ulysses. Long-form writing
  • Notion. Notes, docs
