Software I use
- Sublime Text is my favorite text editor. I've used it since ST2, 3, and now into 4. It is easily the most performant editor I've used, opening gigabyte-sized files with ease. It's find and replace function is amazing.
- Soulver but not the iCloud Sync part. Soulver is the only way I've stuck to a monthly or annual budget.
- Mimestream is my favorite email client.
- Clean email is my favorite email cleaning service. Specifically, compared to Sanebox, I use it for the email screening and auto-clean features.
- Anki is my favorite flash card app, but it's really the only SRS app I use.
- Amphetamine is the app I use to keep my Mac awake.
- Alfred is what I use for a launcher on Mac.
- Cleanshot X is my screenshot / screen recording tool of choice.
- OmniFocus is my task management app of choice, but it is not perfect and I have many problems with it.
- Randomly restarts on macOS sometimes (for no apparent reason) reopening all windows.
- Generally sluggish after SwiftUI rewrite.
- Forecast widget on iOS doesn't filter by focus.
- “Filter by device focus” randomly breaks.
- No natural language input.
- iOS app is a sluggish pile of junk.
- Sluggish
- Sluggish
- Incomplete time management system
- Can't hide calendar events based on focus mode in forecast view
- Can't show date added row or sort anything by date added in task views
- Tags aren't colorful
- Quick entry just sucks for keyboard navigation
- Omni Automation scripts take 10 decades to run when they iterate over all tasks (this should not be hard, computers are fast).
- Signature feature: defer dates. Only app that does defer dates even remotely correctly.
- Tot is my favorite cross-device scratch pad for text.
- Shadowrocket is my favorite VPN/proxy app.
- Naver Papago is my favorite translation service, but the Papago app is the best by far for what I need. Specifically, it allows you to copy kanji from images so you can then paste that into other things like notes or dictionaries. It's far better than Apple's image-to-text recognition. It is also the best translation tool for Korean and pretty good for Japanese/Chinese.
- The ALL.net games locator service is also really useful.
- NERV is obviously on this list.
- RadarScope is amazing in the US as a weather radar.
- Opener opens links in different apps on iOS.
- Fantastical appears on a lot of lists and I do use it, but I'm not sure I really make use of it.
- Flighty is my favorite flight journal app.
- macOS, lol
- JQuake is my default earthquake app.
- Circle.ms (more specifically the web catalog function) is my default way to navigate events like コミケ etc.
