Uses

Updated: April 2026

Sharing the hardware and software I use in my day-to-day life:

MacBook Air M3 - I’m happy with it, but 16GB RAM will be better!
Apple Studio Display - It is an investment for my eyes.
IKEA SIGFINN Monitor Stand - I needed my monitor to be higher than my MacBook Air, was using a stack of books previously.
Apple Magic Mouse 2 - Well, it’s design by Apple.
Razer Mouse Pad - Don’t ask me the model; I’ve been using it for years.
IKEA VADHOLMA Kitchen Island - Yeah, I use it as my work desk. A bit overkill if you ask me now. But I can sit or stand while working without any adjustment.
IKEA FRANKLIN Bar Stool - Not the most comfortable, but it works.

Sony 55” LCD TV - A trusty TV brand.
Apple TV HD - This is gone. I’m waiting for the next gen.
HomePod mini - My daily voice-activated radio.
iPad Pro 11-inch - My entertainment device. The screen sensitivity is broken.
Dyson Digital Slim - Yes, I do housework. It is lightweight, good for my tiny arm. Eyeing the Dyson Submarine now.
SMATRUL Smart Plug - To control my home appliances and schedule them to turn on or off automatically.

iPhone 16 Pro - Self-explanatory.
AirPods Pro 3 - Apple is good at creating products that you didn’t know you needed until you use them. This is one of those.
Apple Watch SE - I got it for free from a credit card promotion gift.

Visual Studio Code - Seems like the industry standard for a code editor. Looks better with the PyCharm Theme.
iA Writer - A minimal note app that can help me focus on writing. I bought it for iOS too.
Termius - An SSH platform to access servers.
TradingView - I use it to look at stock market charts, acting like a pro.
FreeForm - A whiteboarding app by Apple. I use it to draft flowcharts for my work.
Hidden Bar - A utility app to hide cluttered icons in the top bar.
Magnet - Another utility app to quickly resize windows using shortcut keys.

Google News - I prefer the Apple News app, but it is not available in Singapore. So this is the next best thing.
X - I mostly use it to get updates. I post when I’m in the mood.
Spotify - As much as I want to be in Apple’s ecosystem, this is still the winner.
Shortcuts - I created some shortcuts to make my life easier. I will share them someday.
