Recommended Tools

Tools worth using.

A running collection of software I stand behind. My own products are designed and shipped through Senternet; the rest comes from makers I know and trust.

The CalendarPA links are referral links, and I may earn a commission if you sign up through them. Every tool here is one I personally recommend.

By me

Small, single-purpose software I built and use across iOS, macOS, and desktop.

Highwire

See beyond the headlines.

I built it because I kept reading four accounts of the same event and having no way to see where they actually disagreed. I use it now on any story where the disagreement matters more than the summary.

Orgabot

Orchestrate the work, not just the agents.

This is the tool I reach for when work needs to run without me but still needs to be answerable afterwards. It is in private alpha, so the honest recommendation is to watch it rather than adopt it.

StockCar

A podcast of your portfolio, not the market.

I listen to an episode most mornings on a dog walk. It replaced twenty minutes of scrolling a brokerage app, which is the only endorsement of a habit-shaped product that means anything.

Premail

Your inbox, defended.

It changed the thing I thought was unchangeable about email, which is the reflex to check it. Three scheduled briefings a day, and the recruiter mail I never see is the part I appreciate most.

Comoji

Slack-style :emoji: autocomplete, everywhere on your Mac.

Small enough to be embarrassing, used forty times a day. I stopped noticing the macOS emoji picker existed, which is exactly what I wanted from it.

Burly

Every link, in the right browser profile.

Every link lands in the browser profile it belongs to, including Safari profiles, which most alternatives cannot reach. I have not dragged a tab between windows since I started using it.

Level My Audio

Clean, balance, and level your podcast audio in one click. Upload your tracks, get back broadcast-quality sound.

I record StockCar audio in rooms that are not studios, and cleanup used to mean opening a DAW and remembering which plugin chain I used last time. Level My Audio is a single upload that returns something I would actually publish. It is the rare tool that does one unglamorous job well enough that I stopped thinking about the job.

CalendarPA

Smart scheduling that respects your time. Multi-calendar sync, an AI booking assistant, and built-in burnout protection.

Most scheduling tools optimize for the person booking you, which is how a calendar quietly fills with back-to-back calls. CalendarPA is the first one I have used that treats protecting the day as a feature rather than an obstacle, and the multi-calendar sync means it sees the commitments that are not work.
