- All my code snippets, clipboard history
- Workflows: Atom project launcher, Colors, Convert, Dash, gist, Github repos, Slackfred, StackOverflow, Things, tklipsum, WP Site List
- Dash for offline code docs
- Things for task management and quick notes
- Notes I just use a folder of
.mdfiles in an Atom project - Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop + Lightroom) for designing
- SIP App for extracting colours
- iCloud Drive for personal files and reading
.mdnotes - Slack for work related discussions and assignments (almost no email these days)
- Little Snitch for reducing and monitoring network
- Parallels for Microsoft Edge testing, and an Ubuntu playground
- and then just the normal macOS stock apps: Automator, Safari, KeyChain Access, iTunes (with Apple Music subscription)
- Localhost
- LAMP stack for developing, served out of a folder in iCloud Drive. I opted to run Apache and PHP with homebrew (instead of normal macOS methods) because of sphp, granting me the ability to switch between PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, 7.0 and 7.1 with a single command.
