I often get asked about what I use day to day. This is everything right now.
Last updated: 12th Feb 2026
Workspace
Apple Studio Display
Height adjustable, though it's never been adjusted. Next time I'd go cheaper and sit it on a stand.
Herman Miller Chair
Worth every cent when you sit all day.
Electronic sit-stand. I switch between sitting and standing throughout the day.
Makes the standing part actually sustainable.
Keeps things clean and tidy.
So good for moving during a long day when it's too hot or raining outside.
Devices
MacBook Air M3 13"
Ultra portable and more than enough power for 90% of people. I'm starting to hit the ceiling running virtual macOS instances and multiple agents alongside containers — I'll be upgrading to the MacBook Pro M5 when it drops.
iPhone 16 Pro
My daily driver. Camera is incredible.
iPad Pro M1
Rarely reach for it these days, but nice for reading.
AirPods Pro 3
Small, great battery, travel with me everywhere.
Input
Apple Magic Keyboard with Touch ID
Simple, reliable, and Touch ID is great for quick authentication.
Apple Magic Trackpad
I've never been able to go back to a mouse.
Browser
Chrome
My daily driver.
Safari, Edge & Firefox
I test in all three daily. Our end-users use all these browsers, so it's important to experience what they do.
Coding
My go-to editor. Fast, reliable, and the extension ecosystem is unmatched.
My terminal of choice on macOS.
Install once, never think about it again.
Terminal-based Git UI. Faster than anything else for navigating commits and branches.
AI in the terminal. Genuinely accelerating how fast I ship, with the right guardrails in place.
Docker on macOS. Lightweight, fast, and replaced Docker Desktop entirely.
Apps
macOS Passwords
Personal and family password management. Simple, native, syncs across devices.
Business password management.
Where everything lives. Notes, docs, planning, knowledge base.
Issue tracking that is beautiful to use.
Quick and dirty wireframes. Perfect for getting ideas out before writing code.
For better or worse, where work communication happens.
Spotlight replacement that keeps getting better. Clipboard history, snippets, window management — all in one.
Email & Cloud
Business email and collaboration.
iCloud / Apple One
Personal and family. Music, Photos, TV, email, storage. I pay for the Apple One family plan — super simple and it just works.
Services
DNS, CDN, WAF, edge, Pages, R2 buckets, and most of my domains. The developer experience is second to none, at a very reasonable price.
Managed Postgres on bare metal — performance and developer experience is top notch.
Primary transactional email. Clean API, great developer experience.
Secondary transactional email for redundancy. Rock solid deliverability, although a noticeable drop in support since they are no longer founder led. On the hunt for an alternative backup.
Logging and observability. Clear dashboards, easy setup.
Version control, CI/CD via GitHub Actions, and where all my code lives.
Error tracking. Catches things before users report them.
Containerisation across all environments.
Infrastructure-as-code with state stored on Cloudflare R2.
Only for TLDs not yet supported by Cloudflare.
Health & Fitness
Apple Watch Ultra
Sleep tracking, fitness tracking, and daily activity. Everything in one place.
Temperature-controlled mattress cover. Genuinely improved my sleep quality.
Goes almost everywhere with me. Perfect for recovery after surfing or cycling.
Really helps with sleep when you're on your devices late at night.
Consistent sleep experience anywhere.
Travel
Looks ridiculous, works brilliantly. Arrive feeling human after a long flight.
Great for tracking your flights, especially across multiple airlines.
American Express Platinum Card
If you actually use the travel benefits — lounge access, hotel status, travel credit — it pays for itself and completely changes the experience.
Reading
Physical subscription. I spend a huge amount of time in front of screens — really nice to hold something physical.
Apple Books
Either my iPhone, Mac, or iPad — whatever I have near me.
