🛠 Tools & Tech
As a tech & productivity nerd, I’m always on the hunt for the perfect tools of the trade. This page is an always up-to-date list of my favourites.
Explore tech and tools
One of my big passions is tech. It’s a bit of a guilty pleasure if I’m honest – I love trying out new gadgets when I can, to see if they’ll make a difference to my productivity or my YouTube filming set up.
Here, you’ll find my tech reviews for new products, classic items, and productivity gadgets. I’ll be keeping it real with you guys, and I share my honest opinions when it comes to what I think is worth the money.
So, if you’re looking to try out a new camera, or you’re thinking of investing in the latest hyped up product, there’s a good chance I’ll have something to say about it 😜
Favourite Gear
Phone
My daily driver is the iPhone 15 Pro. I’ve been an iPhone guy since 2015. Because I’m so entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever switch away from iPhone unless there’s a new Android that’s so compelling that it’s worth leaving behind the synergy between devices (iMessage, Airdrop, Apple TV integration, and a dozen other things).
Computer
I’m currently using the 16 inch MacBook Pro. I upgrade every few years. M3 Max I believe because I wanted to play world of Warcraft lol and wanted decent graphics performance. But for most people I’d actually recommend the MacBook Air (15) – that’s what Izzy has and it’s super nice and portable and I love it
Notebook & Pen
Despite being a proponent of mostly digital apps, I do regularly use my favourite notebook, the Leuchterm 1917 along with the Uniball Air (and Uniball Air Micro ), to jot down various thoughts and to-do lists. As it so happens, I have two videos where I talk more in-depth about why this pen and notebook are so amazing. Part of it has to do with delight, an idea that stands behind many of my purchases.
Keyboard
One of the questions I often get asked is “what keyboard do you use?”. I used to use the IQUnix F96 Coral. But these days, I use the Lightmode keyboard that I designed myself. The keyboard is super nice to type on and pretty compact, so it travels with me virtually anywhere I go. The typing experience is incredible, it’s genuinely the nicest keyboard I’ve used (and I beat my typing speed record with this). You can learn more about it here.
Favourite Apps
Notion
Notion is the app I use most to manage my life, businesses, and YouTube channel. I love Notion, and I’d definitely recommend you sign up yourself (the simplest version is free).
If there’s one app that carries the most functionality for me, it would be this one. It’s the backbone of my business.
Audible
If I could only ever have one subscription in my life, it would be Audible. It’s life-changing, like the AirPods and Kindle. Good job Amazon for taking 2/3 of my life-changing recommendations.
I discovered Audible in 2017. As of 2024, I’ve listened to over 1 month, and 20 days of Audiobooks.
VoicePal
VoicePal is an AI Ghostwriter in your Pocket that my team and I have built. I’ve been using it everyday since we created it. It’s saved me an incredible amount of time and helps me capture thoughts whenever I have them. If your work involves any form of writing, you can check it out here.
