+# Tools Stack
+
+Very intent on customization and smooth workflows. Will spend unreasonable amounts of time grudging over the littlest details until everything feels *right*.
+
+## Menu Bar
+
+The menu bar is curated, not default. Every icon earns its spot.
+
+- **[[Ice]]** — menu bar manager, hides the clutter
+- **[[Backtrack]]** — ambient audio recorder, rewind what you just heard
+- **[[Stats]]** — RAM and network monitoring at a glance
+- **[[Bleed]]** — menu bar audio visualizer
+- **[[f.lux]]** — night shift done right, warm screen at night
+- **[[Amphetamine]]** — keep-awake toggle (renamed from Caffeine)
+- **[[Time Machine]]** — backup status indicator
+- **[[CleanShot X]]** — screenshot and screen recording, replaces native screenshot entirely
+
+## Terminal
+
+iTerm2 + tmux. The terminal is the primary workspace, not the editor.
+
+### tmux
+
+Prefix rebound to `C-q`. Mouse on. Pane splits on `v`/`h`. Vim-style navigation with `C-hjkl`.
+
+**Plugins:**
+- **[[tmux-resurrect]]** — save and restore sessions across reboots (`M-s`/`M-r`)
+- **[[tmux-continuum]]** — auto-save every 15 minutes, auto-restore on start
+- **[[tmux-assistant-resurrect]]** — custom resurrect for yazi process restoration
+- **[[tmuxinator]]** — declarative session layouts (`mux dev2` spins up the whole dev environment)
+
+### Shell (zsh)
+
+Alias and function city. `.zshrc` and `.zshenv` are heavily customized.
+
+**Navigation:**
+- **[[yazi]]** — terminal file manager, aliased as `y`, with cd-on-exit and iTerm drop proxy
+- **[[fzf]]** — fuzzy finder for everything (history, files, directories)
+- **[[zoxide]]** — smart cd replacement, `cd` is aliased to `z`
+- **[[eza]]** — modern ls with git integration, tree view, relative timestamps
+
+**Shortcuts:**
+- `cl` → clear, `mk` → touch, `mkd` → mkdir, `rmd` → rm -rf
+- `ga`/`gc`/`gp` → git add/commit/push
+- `gg` → `git_go`: add all, commit, push in one shot
+- `tq` → quick-add a task, `pj` → scaffold a new project in `~/code/`
+- `p` → python3, `act` → activate venv
+- `claude` / `codex` / `gemini` — all aliased to skip permissions/approvals
+
+**Editor:** `micro` (set as micro and micro)
+
+## Keyboard
+
+### Karabiner-Elements
+
+Three profiles: **Default**, **Colemak**, and **QWERTY** — switchable via hotkeys (`M-O Tab` / `M-C Tab`).
+
+Key remaps include:
+- `C-p`/`C-n` → up/down arrows everywhere
+- `C-O-p`/`C-O-n` → page up/page down
+- `C-O-b`/`C-O-f` → word-level movement
+- App-specific overrides (Firefox, Finder, Discord)
+- `M-O-C-S a` → toggle keyboard sounds
+- Custom movement variable toggle with `M+S+C+``
+
+### Homerow & Vimium
+
+Keyboard-driven navigation everywhere. Homerow for native macOS apps, Vimium for the browser. The goal: never touch the trackpad.
+
+**Physical setup:** external keyboard + laptop stand.
+
+## Editors
+
+Previously went through the full IDE war: [[VS Code]], [[Zed]], [[Windsurf]], [[Cursor]]. Currently settled on VS Code with the Claude Code extension — the AI integration won.
+
+## Browsers
+
+Pored over every option: [[Arc]], [[Firefox]], [[Safari]], [[Chrome]], [[Dia]]. Currently on Chrome.
+
+Browser extensions are a whole thing. **Cursorful** gets a special mention (for frustration, not praise).
+
+## Voice
+
+Voice modes — using speech input workflows for dictation and control.
+
+- **[[Whispering]]** — local speech-to-text
+- Voice Memos for capture
+
+## Notes & Knowledge
+
+- **[[Obsidian]]** — local-first markdown knowledge base, primary thinking tool
+- **[[Ideaflow]]** — idea capture and connection
+- **Apple Notes** — quick capture
+- **Google Docs** — collaboration
+
+## Infrastructure
+
+- **[[AWS Lightsail]]** — VPS hosting
+- **[[PostgreSQL]]** — primary database
+- **[[Cloudflare]]** — DNS, SSL, CDN
+- **[[nginx]]** — reverse proxy
+- **[[gunicorn]]** — WSGI server
+- **[[systemd]]** — process management
+
+## AI
+
+- **[[Claude]]** / **[[Claude Code]]** — primary LLM and coding agent
+- **[[Codex]]** — OpenAI's coding agent
+- **[[Gemini]]** — Google's LLM
+- **[[ChatGPT]]** — desktop app installed
+- **[[WikiHub]]** — LLM-native wiki platform (this project)
+- **[[MCP]]** — Model Context Protocol integrations
+
+## Other Apps
+
+Currently running: Spotify, Zoom, Messages, Granola, TextEdit, Google Chrome, Obsidian, iTerm2, 1Password, Karabiner, Tailscale.
+
+Also installed: [[Raycast]], [[Alfred]], [[OrbStack]], [[Discord]], [[Slack]], [[Notion]], [[Maccy]] (clipboard manager), [[DaisyDisk]], [[Numi]] (calculator), [[OBS]], [[IINA]] (video player), [[Rectangle]] (window management).
+
+**Package management:** Homebrew for everything — both cask and formula.
+
+## Recommendations from friends
+
+*Tools suggested by people in the network. Organized by category so they land in context.*
+
+### Terminal — from [Jacob](/@jacobcole)
+
+- **[Cmux](https://cmux.com)** ([GitHub](https://github.com/manaflow-ai/cmux)) — Native macOS terminal built on Ghostty's GPU-accelerated renderer, designed for running multiple AI coding agents in parallel. Where iTerm2 + tmux is a general-purpose terminal setup, Cmux is purpose-built for the agent workflow: notification rings when an agent needs attention, vertical tabs showing git branch + PR status + listening ports, an embedded scriptable browser (ported from Vercel's agent-browser), and SSH workspaces where localhost URLs just work. 13.5k stars. By Manaflow AI (YC S24).
