List of apps and settings I use at work
Last time I set up my new computer from scratch, and I want to share everything I installed and how I configured my IDE. I hope you will find something for yourself.
Apps
- Flycut - this is the most important application of all. I installed it instantly after initial setup. Clipboard with memory.
- Google Chrome - I’ve tried Arc, Brave, Dia, and I was really impressed, but I came to the basics, and it turned out to be the best fit for me.
- Spark - Email Client I love. It boosts my productivity. Filtering unread emails and multi-account setup are excellent.
- Spotify - Must have.
- Notion - I don’t have to introduce this to anyone.
- QuickNote - While Notion helps me to stay organized, this is my scratchpad. I use it for meeting notes, drafts, etc. (fn+q)
- Jomo - Helps to stay focused and not fall into dump scrolling.
- Grammarly - Something I’m testing and I like it a lot!
- Warp - top-tier terminal for me.
- Slack - my main comunicator. Remember to add pepe emojis to it.
IDE
I use Cursor, which has the best-in-class autocompletion, and I overuse it. I’m trying to adapt to agent mode. This is what it looks like:
