Development
My current IDE of choice is PhpStorm. I've been predominantly writing PHP you can't beat PhpStorm when it comes to navigating and refactoring a large codebase.
Taking autocompletion and other IDE features out of the picture, Sublime Text is still my favorite editor. Its snappiness and multi-cursor options make it feel very natural, and it supports anything you throw at it regardless of format or size. I use a GitHub light theme in both editors.
Productivity
My main browser is Safari. I value its low footprint and sync with my other devices, despite being the weakest of the bunch when it comes to devtools. When I occasionally need more advanced tooling, I switch to Chrome.
I use Things to manage tasks that are time-sensitive or need a reminder. I tend to store more information in note-taking apps. iA Writer has always been a staple for writing and I've recently started using Obsidian for note-taking.
I also want to mention Excalidraw. I do a lot of UX & product design work, and Excalidraw has been my tool of choice to mock up interfaces or create diagrams to clarify specs & documentation.
