The tools I use day to day

Last updated: April 2026

A tour of the tools I actually use this month. I drop tools when something better shows up; this page is dated so you can see the drift.

Building03 tools
  • Primary build environment. The agent that respects context and doesn't drift.

  • Long-form thinking, research, and markdown context for Claude Code.

  • Backups when I'm worried about hitting Claude's session limits, or when I want a second opinion on a research question.

Knowing03 tools
  • Meeting notetaker.

  • Personal knowledge graph (testing). Could replace Notion as a solo-player.

  • Context-dense docs and small databases. For larger datasets I'd reach for Airtable or Supabase.

Eval03 tools
  • Tried it. Not religious about a vendor here.

  • Watching. For most v0 work, brainstorming with Claude on what 'good' looks like will get you 80% of the way.

  • For large production scale — collaborate with engineering to bring it in.

Deploy02 tools
  • Claude can deploy here cleanly with minimal hand-holding.

  • Also great; manual drag-and-drop deploys are surprisingly pleasant.
