Uses

Updated: August 2026

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

MacBook Air M5 - I’m happy with it!
Apple Studio Display - It is an investment for my eyes.
Apple Magic Mouse 2 - Well, designed by Apple.
Razer Mouse Pad - I’ve been using it for years.
Xiaomi Rehcargeable Mini Fan - A very cute desktop fan.
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 - My entertainment device. Got it from credit card promotion gift.
Dyson Digital Slim - Yes, I do housework. It is lightweight, good for my tiny arm.
Dyson WashG1 - It was a mistake getting this, very disappointed with Dyson.
SMATRUL Smart Plug - To control my home appliances and schedule them to turn on or off automatically.
IKEA GRILLPLATS Smart Plug - Matter compatible, so I can use Apple HomeKit with it. The only downsides are that it cannot be scheduled to turn on without an internet connection, and it cannot automatically turn off when power consumption is low.

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.
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.
ZheBus - To check bus arrival time and get alert
