Right now, as of 21 minutes ago this is the main tech I use:

Email, Docs, and Drive: Proton Email. I love Proton so much I pre-purchased 3yr of my subscription in support (which normally I would not recommend doing for services, but I trust and support them and want them to succeed. Plus, email is something I don’t want to have to worry about for years).

Writing: Ulysses. Ulysses is an excellent app that honestly isn’t worth $40/yr. So while I love it, I can’t recommend it.

Search: On desktop I use Brave Search when I can. I find it to be the best option out of a slew of bad options. On my phone (and when I want to use Safari on my laptop) I use DuckDuckGo. It’s also mostly fine. I’m at the point where I think both of these options are better than Google. I've tried Kagi, but it's just not worth $10/mo and is objectively worse than Brave.

Notes: Apple notes. But never completely satisfied with it.

Laptop: 2024 MacBook Air

Phone: iPhone 14 Pro

Headphones: AirPods Pros

Hosting: Right now I use Magicpages for my Ghost site. I love it. But it’s probably overkill, and I doubt I'll continue after this year. Ghost is so powerful as a distribution tool, but since my goal isn't really writing for distribution, I'm unsure that really matters.

This site uses Bear. Bear is delightful and long-term I'll probably switch to it.

Obviously I'm paying way too much for hosting and need to simplify this.

Domains: Cloudflare. I have qualms about them being a US company and being cozy with Trump’s administration. But they’re the best in the business and are dirt cheap. I used to use Spaceship, which is owned by Namecheap and was... fine? I didn't like the interface and heard that the company can be kinda scummy.
