2023 January Load-Out

Wednesday, January 4, 2023

An update on my current load-out:

macOS

Task Manager - GoodTask + Reminders - GoodTask is still my favorite task manager as it integrates with Reminders.
Text Editor - Nova - Also using BBEDIT…torn between these two! (This hasn’t changed)
Terminal App - Terminal - It is always nice to use the built in applications as they present on all macOS devices.
Automation App - Hazel
Online Backup Service - Backblaze
Backup Application - Carbon Copy Cloner

Reddit App - Apollo
Podcast App - Mimir - Fantastic support and the app works really well. Mimir is now my primary podcast app and is continuously being improved.
Camera App - Halide - The best (IMHO) camera app on iOS.
Scanning App - Scan Thing
Document Scanning App - Notes
Game - Magic Arena - Too many games to list right now! I have cut down on my gaming time to focus on creating more content.

Twitter App - Tweetbot - I am starting to test the Spring Twitter application per a recommendation from a colleague. I am still formulating my thoughts about it!
Password Manager - 1Password
Package Tracking App - Parcel - This application was a life-saver during the holiday season in helping me keep track of gifts being shipped all over the world.
Calendar App - Calendar.app - I have been utilizing more of standard built-in iOS applications so BusyCal has taken a backseat for now. We will see if I return to that application or possibly Fantastical.
Recipe Manager - Mela
RSS Reader - Reeder
Read Later Application - Reeder
Email Application - Mail.app
Quick Note App - Tot
Note Taking App - Obsidian - Obsidian not only lets me take notes it functions as a task manager and many more thing due to the plugins that are available. It is also cross-platform and runs very well. I have not decided if this application will be part of my permanent workflow.

Camera - Fujifilm X-H2s
Keyboard - Keychron Q1
Dock - CalDigit TS4 - The CalDigit TS4 has replaced my OWC Thunderbolt Pro Dock. It did have a hiccup and CalDigit support has been on top of it in getting me a replacement.
Universal Remote - Sofabaton Remote
Laptop - 14” MacBook Pro
Physical Scanner - Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1300
Daily Use Backpack - Pakt Travel Backpack
Travel Backpack - Peak Design Travel Backpack
Camera Backpack - Shimoda Explore V2 35
Tech Pouch - Peak Design Tech Pouch
3D Printer - Ender 3 v2 3D Printer - My Anker Make M5 3D Printer arrived DOA so I am currently dealing with customer support to get it fixed. The Ender 3D printer will be retired until I can get the Anker M5 working.
Watch - Apple Watch Ultra
Phone - iPhone 14 Pro Max
Printer - HP Color LaserJet Pro M254dw - This one can’t be purchased anymore yet it is still in use in the KoAbe household!
