To do a good job, one must first sharpen their tools.

I believe it's difficult for people to design experiences they haven't lived through themselves, so I enjoy experiencing various excellent hardware and software. I hope to continually draw inspiration from them and gain emotional value.

Workstation

  • Apple Vision Pro 1TB

    The Apple Vision Pro is truly a product that offers a glimpse into the future, even if it's just opening the door slightly. I often use it in conjunction with my Mac mini, utilizing its expansive virtual screens, which provide a work experience I've never had before. It also offers a remarkably powerful movie-watching experience—if it weren't for considering my partner, I might never go to the cinema again. The magical spatial photos and videos can quickly transport me back to memories or capture unforgettable moments. The Apple Vision Pro has indeed changed my life.

  • Mac mini, M2, 24GB

    The Mac mini equipped with the M2 chip and 24GB of RAM is my primary machine and my favorite computer. Its compact design keeps my desk neat and organized, while its powerful performance enables me to complete all my daily tasks effortlessly. Even when running an emulator in Xcode, it remains incredibly smooth and fast.

  • Windows PC, AMD RADEON RX 6950XT, 32GB

    My Windows PC, equipped with an AMD Radeon RX 6950XT graphics card and 32GB of RAM, serves as my main entertainment powerhouse. I use it primarily for gaming and tasks that require Windows. The machine boasts exceptional performance, effortlessly running all games and software I throw at it.

  • Studio Display, Standard Glass, Tilt-and height-adjustable stand

    I use the Studio Display, with standard glass and a tilt-and height-adjustable stand, in conjunction with both my Mac mini and Windows PC. Undoubtedly, it is the best monitor in its price range, offering exceptional display quality and industrial design. The visual clarity and attention to aesthetics make it superior among its peers.

  • MacBook Air 13, M1, 8GB

    The MacBook Air 13 with the M1 chip and 8GB of RAM is, in my opinion, the best value for money. I got it for just over 3000 RMB, and it's almost like new. I use this laptop whenever I need to work on the go. Its extremely lightweight design and long battery life make it my favorite notebook.

Development tools

  • Cursor

    Cursor is an AI-driven code editor that acts like a reliable assistant, constantly providing me with suggestions. I haven't opened Visual Studio Code in a long time.

Design

  • Figma

    I use Figma to complete almost all of my design work and early-stage ideation. This tool is indispensable for creating detailed designs and prototypes, offering a collaborative environment that streamlines the entire design process. The ability to work in Figma across different devices means I can develop and refine concepts efficiently, no matter where I am.

Productivity

  • Raycast

    If I could only use one software on my Mac, it would definitely be Raycast. With simple keyboard shortcuts, I can quickly access all the tools and services I need. Since the addition of AI, the AI Command has become my favorite feature. It integrates AI seamlessly into my workflow and further enhances my productivity. Raycast's multifunctionality and efficiency boost ensure that I make the most out of my Mac, making it an essential part of my daily routine.

  • CleanShot X

    CleanShot X is a powerful screenshot tool that helps you create beautiful, professional, and consistent screenshots. I particularly love its rich and easy-to-use annotation features, as well as the quick access and screenshot history functions. It has become an indispensable tool for both my work and personal life.

  • Apple Reminders

    I've tried many to-do tools, from DIDA to Things, and even Notion, but I ultimately chose Apple Reminders. While it may not be as feature-rich as some other products, it meets 95% of my needs and has the unique advantage of being an Apple-native app. This allows me to easily manage my daily tasks across any platform. Combined with Raycast's Apple Reminders extension, I can create tasks even more quickly.
