I talk a lot about different technology that I use for work, creativity, and fun, but I’ve never put together a single list of my entire tech stack in one place. MacSparky recently inspired me to compile this list for myself, and I thought I’d share it here.

For those interested (if you’re out there), here’s what I’m using:

Hardware

iPad Pro (12.9”, 5th generation, 256 GB, space grey): My main productivity machine. I carry this thing around in the Magic Keyboard case and use it for writing, task management, planning, graphic design, video editing, managing websites/social feeds, and more. At work, I hook it up an LG UltraFine 4K monitor and a wireless Magic Keyboard and Trackpad. When taking video calls at home, I place in a Twelve South HoverBar Duo for better height and connect it to a CalDigit USB-C SOHO Dock for connectivity.
iPad mini (6th generation, 256 GB, space grey): This device is for everything that doesn’t require a keyboard: reading, watching videos, social media, playing games, checking reference material, and taking quick notes in meetings. I carry it in a space grey Smart Folio case and always keep it close at hand.
iPhone 14 Pro Max (128 GB, space black): Mostly for communication, listening to podcasts, taking photos, and checking social media when I don’t have my iPad mini handy. I don’t use a case on my iPhone.
Apple Watch Series 7 (41 mm, graphite stainless steel): Usually worn with a black sport band. I wear it all the time except when I’m getting ready in the mornings, which is when it charges.
AirPods Pro (2nd generation): Almost always in my ears.
iMac (2021, 512 GB/8GB, silver): The family computer. It doesn’t get a ton of use unless I’m working from home and need to do something I can’t do on my iPad Pro.
MacBook Pro (14”, M1 Pro, 512 GB/16GB, space grey): My work-issued laptop. It usually stays on my office desk where I use it for a few specific tasks that aren’t possible on my iPad Pro.
