Okay — this is by far the nerdiest thing I’ve ever done, but for some reason, I felt compelled to write about the apps and tools I love to use every day. Every single one of these apps has made my life easier and more efficient, so I thought I’d share them if you’re looking to do the same. I’ve organised the apps in a few different areas:

  • Personal Knowledge Management
  • Productivity
  • Writing
  • Self Development
  • Security

Selfishly, it’s also a good way to reflect on why and how I use each tool as an antidote to the Shiny Object Syndrome — the tendency to get distracted by new things rather than staying focused on what I already have.

So what’s a tech stack? A technology stack or tech stack is the combination of technologies a company uses to build and run an application or project.

In this context, I am the company, and the project is my life.
