This is a living document of the tools, hardware, and software I use daily to build, write, and think.

Software

AI Tools

• Shortwave - Unified, AI-enhanced email client for all my Gmail accounts.
• Morgen.so - Unified calendar + todo app.
• Hermes Agent - A personal AI agent that lives on a VPS and is reachable from anywhere via Telegram.
• Claude - My AI assistant of choice (for now).
• oMLX - Local AI inference.
• pi - Agentic coding
• Zed - Currently testing it out as my editor/ide.
• OpenRouter - Model provider for various tasks.
• fornax - a vibe coded, rust based, chat interface for LLMs with configurable tools.

When using Opencode (either in Ghostty) or in Zed, I route requests through my DGX Spark, and everything else through Openrouter. Claude Code sticks around (on the $20/month plan) for ultraplan, code clean up, and other things as needed.
