Maybe I’m naive, but 1Password has never clicked for me. It’s obviously an incredibly popular app, but I’ve always found iCloud’s keychain fits my needs. Perhaps I’m weird, but I’m not a hardcore 1Password user. I’m a pretty dedicated Calcbot fan, but a friend of mine has me trying out something fresh. Although I log my days in a Hobonichi Techo, I try to plan my schedule in Fantastical 2 so I can receive notifications prior to appointments.įor calculations, I’ve recently switched over to Soulver. I recently re-downloaded Fantastical 2 and have been working to keep more of my schedule in a digital book. Most new entries are created on the iPhone, especially with some of the features Day One 2.1 has to offer. I also have Day One in my iMac dock, but I generally use Day One on the iMac (and MacBook) to surf through old memories rather than add new entries. ITunes is in my dock, but I listen to very, very little music. I also recently downloaded the Pastebot public beta, and I’m working on different filters and pasteboards that may render Textexpander moot. Like every other efficient computer user out there, I use TextExpander for quick snippets. To optimize photos for the web, I use a simple application called ImageOptim, and I use Cyberduck to upload photos to my personal site. Normally though, Lightroom is only used on the iMac. My wife and I ventured on a three-week trip to Europe in June with only the MacBook, and I was extremely happy with how Lightroom performed on it. Lastly, I use Ulysses to manage the different channels of writing and editing I do.Īlthough it’s 100% possible - and actually incredibly enjoyable - to use Adobe Lightroom on the MacBook, it’s still a better experience on the Retina 5K iMac. On both machines, Slack, Tweetbot, and OmniFocus are open nearly 100% of the time, and I use Reeder for any RSS reading I do. I use Mail.app, Safari, and Messages fairly regularly, as they work pretty well between devices. Generally, the software I use on the iMac is also used on the MacBook. What software do you use and for what do you use it? iMac No matter how many photos I shoot, I struggle to match the incredible photos Apple chooses for its macOS launches. On both machines, I like to stick to Apple’s stock wallpapers. At that desk is my favorite Herman Miller Eames Chair, a Twelve South ParcSlope, and a second Apple Magic Mouse. The MacBook generally sits at a second desk in our condo where we can sit and write, drink coffee, or browse the internet while watching TV. We went with the Core m5, 512GB model and have been pleasantly surprised with what the little machine can do. We recently picked up a 2016 MacBook as well, which is our portable option. I store all my personal work files in iCloud Drive and back up photos in iCloud Drive as well. Lastly, I use an Apple Magic Mouse (first generation), an Apple AirPort Extreme, an old LaCie Starck 1TB hard drive, a new LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 3TB desktop hard drive, a Blue Nessie microphone, and a wide range of Sony photography kit. I love the larger travel of both keyboards (which isn’t to say I don’t like the short travel of the Magic Keyboard or the MacBook it just sits in nice contrast when going back and forth) and, as an aspiring accountant, I can’t live without a numpad for very long. And, if I’m in a writing mood, I fire up the Wireless Keyboard. If I’m in the middle of classes, or if I have some office work to do at home, I quickly plug in the wired keyboard. I’ve tried a wide range of keyboards and constantly come back to two different keyboards: the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad and the Apple Wireless Keyboard. This is the closest thing we have to a dedicated home office. The iMac is set up on a homemade maple desk in a bedroom of our condo full of photo gear, backdrops, and other office stuff. I use a 2014 Retina 5K iMac with 8GB RAM and a 1TB Fusion Drive. I also write occasionally on my personal site, The Newsprint, and I work (by day) at an accounting firm and am working toward my accounting designation. I am the Deals Editor and Reviews Editor for Tools & Toys, I shoot and sell some photographs on occasion, and I co-host the photography podcast Candid with my two friends Álvaro Serrano and Marius Masalar. My name is Josh Ginter, and I use my rig for a wide range of jobs. New setup interviews are posted every Monday follow us on RSS or Twitter to stay up to date. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better. Every week we post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad.
