Some of the tools I use everyday. I’m always looking for new tools to add to this list.

Coding

  • VS code The best tool overall, but heavy sometimes. Some extensions are falling apart while you expect them to perform.
  • Supermaven AI Copilot for your VS code. Helps you write code faster.
  • Zed Very light, has some nice themes, but lacking integrations.

Terminal

  • iTerm2 Just must have. I’ve been introduced to this command-line tool 8 year ago and I am still using it every day!
  • Oh my zsh Customize your command-line with the best tool that dev community uses broadly.

Git

  • GitX The best git commiting tool. I’ve been using it for a long time.
  • GitKraken Something that also works well, showing your repo in a tree-like structure.

Databases

  • Postico Amazing PSQL client. Simple, quick, and easy to use.

APIs

  • Insomnia Makes API testing easy.
  • Postman The same but with a different look.

Communication

  • Linear Project management tool. The best way to coordinate work with your team.
  • Slack No comments, just the most popular communication tool.
  • Discord Once everything else is dead (yeah, hello Slack) this fella is somehow always there.

Other

  • Docker Run your apps anywhere.
  • Colima Local Kubernetes. Run your containers easily.
  • Notion The all-in-one workspace for your notes, tasks, wikis, and databases.
