Must-have apps and services in 2024

1

Zed

Zed is my second editor. I use it as much as I can because it's a very lightweight and well-built tool. VSCode wins when I need to debug in Go because it's better prepared for that.

Readwise

Readwise. I recently subscribed to it to centralize the notes I take in e-books and blog posts. It's still too early to know if I'll renew the subscription in 2025.

Writer Pro

Interestingly, some apps I've been using since 2014, like iA Writer (which I'm using to write this post) and Buffer. I'll talk about both of them in a moment, but first, I want to talk about another tool that's crucial to my setup: SetApp (horrible pun, but I couldn't resist).
