This is by no means a comprehensive list. It's just the essentials.
2018 MacBook Pro, 15-inch (Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 500 GB SSD)
I used to use a 2014 MacBook Pro, then I upgraded to this machine. It's much faster, and perfect for my use cases.
Corsair K55 keyboard
A nice keyboard that supports macros. I don't recommend iCUE for macOS — I've had many problems with it.
Logitech G602 mouse
It has a lot of buttons and it's comfortable.
I have two-factor authentication enabled on all the services I use. I also help maintain a directory of websites and services that support two-factor authentication at 2fa.directory. Check out my article on securing your digital life if you want to know more.
I use Homebrew to install all my apps. I also maintain a Homebrew tap that has some software not otherwise available.
Firefox
I don't like Chrome or Edge, so I use Firefox. I have it loaded with many extensions, including uBlock Origin, Dark Reader, TOS;DR, Window Titler, Tab Counter Plus, Refined GitHub, Hide Files on GitHub, Tampermonkey, Bypass Paywalls and Bypass Paywalls Clean, Firefox Multi-Account Containers, SponsorBlock, Return YouTube Dislike, Video Speed Controller, Tab Mover, and my very own new tab extension Nebula New Tab.
Visual Studio Code
I love VS Code. All my text-editing and programming work is done in here.
Note to self: learn Vim/Neovim
I like it better than the built-in Terminal and iTerm2.
Zsh
My Zsh configuration is available in my dotfiles repository.
BetterTouchTool
As my MacBook Pro has a Touch Bar, I use BetterTouchTool to show me three essentials: day and time, battery level and state, and my currently playing media.
Apple Juice
Apple Juice is a great open-source battery app for macOS. I use Théophile Cailliau's fork which has more notifications.
BatteryBoi
In addition to Apple Juice, I also use BatteryBoi, which I find a lot more pleasing to use with more reactive notifications. The only downside (and reason I still have Apple Juice) is because it doesn't support as many notification options as Apple Juice.
Spotify
I love listening to music, especially Taylor Swift!
Raycast is a better Spotlight and Alfred for macOS.

Figma
Figma is an amazing design tool.
Vercel
I host a few of my websites, particularly the Next.js ones, on Vercel. This website is hosted on Vercel.
Netlify
Most of my non-Next.js sites are on Netlify. It's a great platform.
