Welcome!

On this page, you will find a list of my favorite tools for surviving and thriving in a technology-saturated world. I’m not affiliated with anything on this list—I just wanted to share some of the best stuff I’ve found.

Notetaking

Notion

The AI workspace that works for you. | Notion

This might be my all-time favorite app! The Notion team has managed to consistently add great features without cluttering the UI too much. If you somehow haven’t heard of it, you should totally try it out!

Also, I created this webpage with Notion, but you probably noticed that already. 🙂

✅ Pros

❌ Cons


mymind

mymind is the extension for your mind.

This notetaking app succeeds at providing a zero-pressure environment for you to just spill whatever is on your mind. It boasts no social features, no invasive tracking, and no vanity metrics. Although the free tier limits you to 100 notes, they offer a basic unlimited tier at just $79/year ($6.59/month).

My one big complaint is I would love for these notes to be available directly in the tools I use for writing and other creative work, but mymind currently offers no support for this. After all, it would be awesome to ask ChatGPT to write a scholarly article on quantum particle physics and have it automatically pull from the vast collection of very insightful notes I have definitely written on this subject. 🥴
