 title: Live Long and Prosper with These Tools
 ---
+
+I'm not entirely sure why, but I love trying out and testing productivity tools—especially those geared toward programming. Over the years, I've explored and used a wide variety of tools, and these are the ones I can't live without. Below, I've listed them in alphabetical order. For each, I'll include a brief description and explain why it stands out to me. When time and inspiration allow, I plan to write dedicated articles diving deeper into each tool. I'll also do my best to keep this list updated as I discover new favorites or stop using the current ones.
+
+To help you understand the labels I've used, here's a quick guide to the emojis and letters in parentheses you'll see next to each tool:
