software I love

gabe ortiz - 2024

• tmux: for all your terminal multiplexing needs
• mosh: ssh, but make it seamless and fault tolerant for interactive sessions
• moom: window management for macOS
• dato: a handy calendar for your mac menubar with excellent zoom integration
• vivid: a neat hack to use the full HDR brightness potential of a macbook at your discretion
• textbar: put the output of a shell script in your menubar, I often use this for things like keeping an eye on my smoker's temp by sniffing thermometer radio signals via SDR, or watching a stock ticker with curl
• rtl_433: SDR swiss army knife, the basis of a lot of my home automation tooling
• beeper: not perfect but the least annoying way to not run 8 different chat clients
• iterm2: indispensible for serious macos terminal users
• copyclip2: my clipboard history has become essentially an extension of my short-term memory
• notes.app: I've tried every fucking note management app ever but notes keeps getting better and I'm in enough of a pure apple ecosystem that I finally gave in to the inevitable.
