Everything on the desk on the front page, plus the stuff that travels. Two setups: one at home, one that fits in a bag.
At home
A laptop and two monitors: a 34-inch ultrawide as the main screen, and an old 17-inch LG Flatron as the second.

On the go
One of the Let’s notes, a tiny trackball, and whatever else fits in the bag. Light enough to forget it’s there.

Panasonic CF-LX6
The other Let’s note: a bigger 14-inch sibling that runs light.

XTEINK X4 Pro
A pocket-sized e-ink reader that lives in the bag. Light novels, mostly. It’s where most of my reading happens now.
- E-ink screen
- Pocket-sized, rides in the bag every day
Traveler's Notebook (Passport)
Paper, for the things that are easier to think through by hand. I use it to jot down notes and random ideas throughout the day, with a Traveler’s Company bullet pen.
- Passport size
- Traveler’s Company bullet pen
Software
Development
- LazyVim. Preferred editor. Neovim, preconfigured: the insanely efficient hotkeys without maintaining the whole config.
- PowerShell 7. The terminal, configured to my liking.
- Visual Studio Code. The backup.
Productivity
- Floorp. A Firefox-based browser that lets you rearrange nearly everything: vertical tabs, workspaces, sidebars.
- ShareX. Better than Snipping Tool by light years.
- PowerToys. Why isn’t this part of Windows already?
- Crunchyroll. I almost always have something on in the background while working.
AI tools
- Claude Code. Anthropic’s CLI agent, for planning and multi-file work in the terminal.
- Codex CLI. OpenAI’s terminal agent, for a second pass and code review.
- Cursor CLI. Cursor’s agent without the editor, for quick edits from the shell.
- OpenCode. Open-source terminal agent that can switch between model providers.
