I always carry a pocket-sized blank Moleskine and a black Muji Gel Ink Ballpoint Pen, 0.38mm.
My main work device is a 13″ MacBook Pro, Late 2016 (3.1 GHz i5, 16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD).
Or even when Apple's first iMac didn't have a floppy disk drive!
For my left hand, I have an Apple Magic Trackpad 2.
My main phone is an iPhone X.
Productivity
Keynote is what I use for all of my public speaking and lectures.
My to-do lists live in Things.
Browser
My web browser of choice is Opera.
Notes
For writing, I use mostly iA Writer.
Coding & Development
My apps are mades in Xcode.
All other coding, scripting, and text editing happens in Sublime Text.
Design
I design user interfaces in Sketch.
Novel Mono is the typeface I use on my website and for correspondence.
Media
Whenever I save production assets, I let ImageOptim do its thing.
Kaleidoscope is my go-to app for diffing code, text, and images.

My scripting and programming notes go into nvALT.
On my iPhone, I look up stuff in my own Wikipedia reader app, V for Wiki.
