Tools I Use: Transparency Over Hype
The technology landscape is always changing—and so is my workflow. This page lists the tools, platforms, and services I actually use day-to-day for content creation, automation, business management, and personal projects.
This isn’t a “recommended” list. I’m not here to pitch you products or pretend every tool is perfect. Some of these tools are indispensable, others are infuriating, and all are chosen because they deliver enough value to stay in my daily workflow (at least for now).
What you see here reflects my real-world, hands-on experience—warts and all.
I regularly test new solutions, and if something isn’t working, it’s gone. I also make a point of avoiding “free” or questionable services for business-critical needs: privacy, security, and exportability always come first.
If a tool is missing from this list, it’s either retired, under consideration, or we are evaluating.
I keep this page updated as my workflow evolves.
