I frequently use a SideCar for keeping a development phone attached to my laptop screen.
I have a Polycom IP 500 phone on my desk for work calls, and sometimes I use my Western Electric payphone when I feel nostalgic.
I use a Kindle Paperwhite for reading long-form articles and books.
Communication
Productivity
Browser
Occasionally I use xombrero on OpenBSD when I want to do quick split-screen half-terminal, half-web-browser sessions.
Security
On rare occasions I still find time to hack on OpenBSD.
Coding & Development
For non-mobile development I usually write things in Ruby.
Other
I make Pushover, a notification service and app.
For Android development, I do everything in vim and push builds to my phone with an adb-over-WiFi app.
