Stuff I Use

Desktop Apps

NeovimNeovim
I have been using neovim every since i got into programing but i'm still kinda noob with motions, mainly cause I still use arrow keys for navigation and I've only recently started using `hjkl` keys.
GhosttyGhostty
Ghostty is just such a bliss to use. It has nice defaults and looks amazing.
Helium BrowserHelium Browser
Okay, I have been enlightened. I'm back to be original layout that I had on firefox with One Fox. Helium with compact layout is literally peak. Plus it ships with ublock origin preinstalled, so, YAY!
AsepriteAseprite
I use Aseprite when I have to do some pixel art every once in a while (Like the page header and list markers :P).
SyncplaySyncplay
Syncplay made watching movies with my bestie very easy. It's kinda iffy with mpv (atleast for me) but works out-of-the-box with VLC.
qbittorrentqbittorrent
The Best torrent client. what else can I say.
VesktopVesktop
It's nice that I don't have to manually patch my discord every once in a while lol.
IINAIINA
I use both mpv and IINA, depending on how I'm envoking it (through the terminal or Finder)
LocalSendLocalSend
LOCAL SEND IS FUCKING GOD SEND. i don't have to using signal to share text and documents between my phone and laptop. It's sooooooo goood. I love it so much.

Desktop Games

OpenTTDOpenTTD
I play OpenTTD every now and then with an oomfie. But during each gameplay, I'm $2M in debt by the 1hour mark. 😭
Prism LauncherPrism Launcher
Best launcher for Minecraft. What else can I say?
Xash3D-FWGSXash3D-FWGS
I love playing Half Life. I wanna play Half Life 2, but afaik, there isnt a good source port for it and the Source Engine "leak" fails to compile on my system.
OpenJKDF2OpenJKDF2
I had been looking for Jedi Knight: Dark Force 2 for almost 12years, cause I used to play the Demo of it on my uncle's laptop. I remembered the gameplay but not the name. No kidding, I cried when i finally played it thanks to OpenJDF2

Mobile Apps

BeeperBeeper
Beeper quite literally changed my life. with beeper, I can take long breaks from social media and not worry about missing texts from my oomfies. The desktop app is kinda sluggish on my 13year old Macbook but the android app is one of the best chat clients which I have used.
BirdayBirday
I'm not really good with dates and I forget my loved one's birthdates all the time. But ever since I have been using Birday, I haven't really missed a simple important date. :D
Apple MusicApple Music
Best Music Service and you can't convince me otherwise. (Weeekly aren't available to stream in my region tho 😭)
Pano ScrobblerPano Scrobbler
Pano has no competition, whatsoever. I wish it was available on macOS tho.
RedomiRedomi
As I mentioned earlier that I use Apple Music, I dont have to worry about opening poopify link as Redomi makes it super convenient to open links in either youtube or apple music
ReVanced YoutubeReVanced Youtube
So, you're telling me, that you watch Youtube without Revancing it? in big 2026?
FlorisBoardFlorisBoard
the only keyboard app which fits all my niche requirements. You'll have to follow the beta channel for updates tho
Standard NotesStandard Notes
I don't ask for much in a notetaking app, and standard notes fits that requirement for me. :P
ReadYouReadYou
the best RSS reader app for android. no second thoughts.
say it first on oh how perfect, by ROLE MODEL
