Some of the Apps I used in 2024

Browser : Arc Still a transformative browser UX but I'm worried about its future considering their recent pivot to a new "AI first" browser. We'll see how things go in 2025. Notes : Obsidian Continues to run my life. Read it Later : Readwise Reader Still the best thing ever. I have highlights sync to Obsidian, which is the best thing ever. Task Management : OmniFocus I tried to switch to Things last year but it didn't stick. Back to OmniFocus and it's great although the v4 update was a bit rough but it's mostly evened out now. Code Editor : Zed Zed is incredible. Fast, great VIM mode, AI integration is great (though I need to check out Cursor at some point too). AI Assistant : Claude This was the year I started to actually get productive with AI assistants. They aren’t always good but when they are they really are. I mostly use Claude at this point though I don’t really do extensive comparisons. Launcher : Raycast A bunch of my one off AI assistants use is actually via Raycast. Super helpful to have it always a keystroke away. Calendar : Fantastical Continues to be great. Podcasts : Overcast Continues to be great Email : Mail.app Boring but I’ve come around on that being what I like out of email. Finance : YNAB Continues to be great.
