Adam's Tech-Driven Productivity Stack
All of the apps are configured to be minimalist yet extensible, so my user interface is very clean, without many toolbars, pop-ups, etc. These small steps help me gain better focus and force me to use shortcuts. I don't skimp on software. If there is a tool that could accelerate my work, I'm ready to pay for it. But it doesn't mean that I'm spending my money without control. Most of the paid tools I use are provided by SetApp.
14 tools
Cursor
"I hid all UI elements which were useless for me. So my Cursor is minimalistic and fast, without any distractions. Also, it forces me to use shortcuts. I also use many extensions to integrate most of the tools required for daily work in one place. 90% of time used in agent mode with Sonnet 3.7 & thinking" - Adam Tkaczyk
AI-powered code editor boosts productivity with code generation and completion.

"Spotlight replacement. Raycast is giving me quick access to many utils without losing context. Most powerful with extensions: Google Translator, Bitwarden, Spotify, Reminders, Meetings opener, Confetti, Generate meme, Emoji picker," - Adam Tkaczyk

Rize
"Nobody forces me to track my stats. I’m doing it because I have nice preview of what I was doing and it helps me remain focused. I don’t want to break the stats by distractions 🙂 It’s expensive, but the auto tracking focus sessions and breaks works perfectly and UX is great" - Adam Tkaczyk
