inline 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:

  • 💻: Mac
  • 📱: iPhone
  • 🧭: Safari extension
  • ⌨️: Command line tool
  • 🏠: Self-hosted service
  • 🏭: Third-party hosted Service
  • 1️⃣: One time purchase may be required
  • 🔃: Recurring subscription may be required
  • A: Available on the App Store
  • S: Available via Setapp
  • 🌐: Available for download from a website
