I am writing down all the Tools I'm using, home Office setup, Hardware, Software, or Camera setup, and they are being updated regularly

If there is anything that I'm missing and you would like to know about, Tweet me and I will add it here

Desk setup

  • I have the famous set/standing IDÅSEN desk from Ikea
  • I'm sitting on SIHOO Ergonomic office chair
  • while standing I use FLEXISPOT Floor mat, which makes standing for long time less painful
  • Screen light BenQ ScreenBar Pro Great when I work late at night

Hardware

  • I have an old Mac-mini 2018 as desktop computer:
    • 3.2 GHz 6-core Intel Core i7
    • 32GB DDR4 RAM
    • Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
    • 1TB SSD
  • Macbook Pro 2022 with M1 for portable work and presentations
  • The monitor in front of me is a 32inch Samsung U32R59X and the one on my right is a 27inch Samsung C27F396F
  • I use ( apple's Magic keyboard ) NuPhy75 Mechanical keyboard with low profile switches and Gateron blue
  • I switched to use Apple's Trackpad after long time using Logitech M330 silent mouse
  • I use Sony WH-1000XM3 as my main headset, mostly now on AirPods Pro II specially with the noise cancellation
  • I use Blue snowball as my main mic for recordings and meetings
  • Videos are usually shooted using Canon 80D camera, standing on a desk mount called VIJIM (recommended)
  • I'm using the above camera as a webcam with the use of Elgato Camlink
  • HP Envy Photo 6220 as a printer
  • iPhone 11 Pro Max, still don't feel the need to upgrade 🤷‍♂️ iPhone 15 Pro
  • Apple watch series 4, again it is sufficient for my needs and don't feel to upgrade
  • Kindle Oasis for reading and listening to books
  • I use the famous Logitech R500s as a clicker for presentations

Software

  • Bitwarden as a password manager
  • Notion as my main note taking app
  • Miro as a mind mapping tool for charts
  • Day One for the first time (Jan 2022) for my daily journal and so far so good
  • Mainly using Raycast as launcher for being extensible and fast
  • For daily Todos I'm using Todoist pretty nice and focused, also love the 2 ways binding with my calendar.
  • for video editing I'm currently using Adobe Premiere Final Cut Pro TechSmith Camtasia
  • Dozer for organizing menu bar icons
  • more about what I use checkout my dotfiles on Github

Developer Tools

  • I'm using VSCode as my main code editor, usually on Night Owl dark theme, and font Victor Mono mostly italic.
  • I'm using Chrome Arc as my main browser, but sometimes I use Safari as well
  • I use Git for all my projects and use Github for hosting my side projects
  • Terminal wise: I used Zsh for long time and switched to fish later, (I explored Fig and liked it with some concerns, and recently Warp and loved how fast it is _build with Rust_)
  • REST client: I used Postman but for long time I depend on Insomnia as Postman was not working on linux before, and recently I discovered an extension in VSCode called Thunder Client which make it easier and faster
