+# Uses
+
+As both a professional web developer, an amatuer Mac and iPhone developer, as well as a hobbyist blogger, I have a variety of tools I use to get my work done. 
+
+_Last updated: March 5, 2026_
+
+## Hardware
+
+My current workstation is an M2 MacBook Air, which I have connected to an [LG UltraFine 27"](https://www.lg.com/us/monitors/lg-27up850k-w-4k-uhd-led-monitor) display, with a [NuPhy Air75 V2](https://nuphy.com/products/air75-v2) keyboard (with classic Mac-style keycaps), and a [Logitech M720](https://www.logitech.com/en-us/shop/p/m720-triathlon) mouse. 
+
+### MacBook Air Specs
+- OS: macOS Tahoe
+- RAM: 24GB 
+- Storage: 512GB SSD + external 1TB Samsung SSD 
+
+## Software
+
+### Text Editors
+
+- [Zed](https://zed.dev/) - My daily driver for web development. I like it because it's fast, minimal, and just works. 
+- [Nova](https://nova.app/) - I very much want this to be my daily driver for web development...
+- [Xcode](https://developer.apple.com/xcode/) - Where I do all my iPhone and Mac dev, but also _anything_ Swift-related.
+- [BBEdit](https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.html) - My go-to app for making quick edits, and for writing.
+
+### Productivity
+
+- [Zen Browser](https://zen-browser.app/) - Primary web browser.
+- [Bear](https://bear.app/) - Jotting down and organizing notes across my Mac, iPad, and iPhone.
+
+### Other Desktop Apps
+
+- [Doppler](https://brushedtype.co/doppler/) - My desktop music player of choice.
+- [WindowKeys](https://www.apptorium.com/windowkeys) - For assigning custom keyboard shortcuts to macOS's built-in window management.
+- [ForkLift](https://binarynights.com/) - Finder alternative I mainly use for moving or copying files quickly.
+
+### CLI Tools
+
+My terminal emulator of choice is [Ghostty](https://ghostty.org/). These are some of the CLI tools I find useful:
+
+- [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/)
+- [Atuin](https://atuin.sh/)
+- [Zoxide](https://github.com/ajeetdsouza/zoxide)
+- [trash](https://hasseg.org/trash/)
