Software I Like

published December 24, 2024, updated April 06, 2026

This is an incomplete list of software I think is unusually good. I use all of these regularly, and I think those that are paid are well worth the money. These are mostly utilities which are web-based or can be downloaded.

  1. Raycast - A fast productivity app for Mac which completely replaces Spotlight
  2. Anki - A powerful and extensible flashcard app
  3. Last.fm - A site which tracks every song you listen to with summary statistics and a free API
  4. Texifier - The best LaTeX editor I’ve ever used, with live typesetting and a customisable layout
  5. KeyBR - A website for typing speed practice which is effective at training and improvement
  6. Excalidraw - A free whiteboard with many useful features for diagrams and lovely aesthetics
  7. Autodesk Fusion 360 - Easy and powerful CAD software for designing 3D models and prints
  8. MCStacker - An incredibly capable custom command builder for Minecraft commands
  9. Arc - A modern browser with neat organisation and good aesthetics
