MacOS Setup

Software and Hardware I use and that I would recommend to anyone to try out.

Coding

Terminal

  • Delta - A syntax-highlighting pager for git, diff, and grep output.
  • Exa - A modern replacement for ‘ls’.
  • GokuRakuJoudo - Config karabiner with ease.
  • Fish + Oh My Fish - Command line shell that I find a bit better than ZSH.
  • iTerm2 - Chosen for stability and performance.
  • Lazygit - Fast interactive git UI.
  • LF - Terminal file manager written in Go with inspired by Ranger.
  • Tmux - Terminal multiplexer.

Apps

  • Alfred - Spotlight replacement which boosts my efficiency with Mac.
  • Bartender - Take control of your menu bar.
  • Commander One - I grew up on Total Commander and sometimes Finder just doesn't do it for me.
  • Karabiner-Elements - A powerful and stable keyboard customizer for macOS.
  • Cleanshot - App I use for annotated screenshots.
  • Numi - Fancy calculator and currency converter.
  • Notes - Trying to use something simple and minimalistic.
  • Postico 2 - A Modern PostgreSQL Client for the Mac.
  • Rectangle - Move and resize windows in macOS using keyboard shortcuts or snap areas.

Hardware

  • ZSA Voyager - Low-profile, split ergonomic keyboard.
  • Logitech Lift - Vertical ergonomical mouse.
  • Nexstand K2 - Portable and foldable laptop stand. More height adjustments than Roost V2, slightly worse angle.
  • Carpio 2.0 - Ergonomic wrist rest, though I am not yet sure if I like it much, not usable with Lift or tented keyboard much.
  • Delso Projuster 180x80cm - Standing desk.
  • MARKUS Office chair - Buy it for life, lacks adjustable wrist, neck and lumbar support but great value for the money.
