All my writing and coding happens on a 16" MacBook Pro.
At home, I run that through a CalDigit TS3 Plus dock into two external monitors (I couldn't tell you what brands, whatever was reasonably priced and recommended).
Communication
Productivity
I've been using the Alfred launcher for years.
I use Notion Calendar (née Cron) but I'm skeptical.
Browser
Notes
I recently switched to Obsidian for organizing my personal life, and that's working well.
Security
Coding & Development
Word processors are too much, Scrivener is even more, and code editors are too little.
Design
To create a light plot, I recently discovered Drafty.
I've been doing a lot of CAD in Fusion 360 – designing a mechanical clock from scratch.
Storage
Other
But most of my personal sites are built with Eleventy, because it's flexible and doesn't generate any output that I didn't ask for.
I use Sass for the same reasons.
