Picks.

  • Wispr Flow is an AI voice-to-text app. It does more than transcribe; it refines speech into cleaner, well-formatted text across apps. It has reduced my typing far more than I expected, and it can even tag files in Cursor by voice.

  • The Penguin
    TV Series

    The Penguin is an HBO crime miniseries spin-off from The Batman, following Oz Cobb's rise in Gotham's underworld. Colin Farrell's performance is outstanding.

  • Raycast is a launcher for Mac that replaced Spotlight for me. It provides search functionality, system controls, clipboard history, and supports extensions. You can also create custom scripts and shortcuts to automate tasks.

  • Warfare is a 2025 war film written and directed by Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland. It was the most intense and memorable film I saw in 2025, with such relentless momentum that it never lets you look away.

  • Apple Health is Apple's health and fitness app for iPhone and Apple Watch. I use it more as I get older, and I think it is the best iPhone app Apple has made.

  • Succession
    TV Series

    Succession is an HBO drama about the Roy family's fight for control of their media empire. It is my favorite drama, and Nicholas Britell's score is one of the best parts of it.

  • Lenny's Podcast is hosted by Lenny Rachitsky and covers product, growth, startups, and careers. It features thoughtful conversations with founders, operators, and product leaders.

  • Perplexity is my favourite LLM-based product so far. It’s an AI search engine that summarises web content and provides citation-backed answers. Its related questions are surprisingly accurate, making it a joy to dive into a rabbit hole of detailed knowledge and exploration.

  • This Notion page, created by Remon Leijtens, features a curated collection of 256 free fonts. It includes previews for each font, making it easy to find suitable typefaces for any project.

  • Dense Dicovery
    Newsletter

    Dense Discovery is a newsletter by Kai Brach. It curates links on design, tech, sustainability, and urbanism, offering a thoughtful selection of apps, tools, books, and articles. I love the aesthetics of the emails, and the selection of illustrations and quotes is always inspiring.

  • Fargo
    TV Series

    Fargo is Noah Hawley's anthology crime drama inspired by the Coen Brothers film. The first season is a masterpiece, and the later seasons are excellent as well.

  • RightFont is the best font management app for Mac I have found so far. It features an intuitive macOS UI that is easy to use. The best part is you can toggle each font on or off, which is very handy when testing web fonts during development.

  • Dune
    Film

    Dune is Denis Villeneuve's adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel, following Paul Atreides and House Atreides on the desert planet Arrakis. It is epic science fiction on a massive scale.

  • Station Eleven is a TV series about the stories of survivors of a pandemic. Unlike other post-apocalyptic series, this show is humane, optimistic and beautiful. It’s based on the bestselling novel of the same title.

  • Darkroom is a photo editing app available on iOS and macOS. It completely replaced my need for Adobe Lightroom, so it's the only photo editing app I use for every photo I take.

  • Concepts is a sketch app available on pretty much every mobile platform. Using this app is like handwriting or drawing on an infinite canvas with pens of various sizes, types and colours. It's one of the apps I use the most on my iPad.

    TV Series

    HBO's Chernobyl is a miniseries based on the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, created and written by Craig Mazin and directed by Johan Renck.

  • Pocket Casts is a podcast app available on iOS, Android and web. It has been my go-to podcast app since 2016, and I still haven't found anything else comparable.

  • Devs
    TV Series

    Devs is a science fiction miniseries created, written, and directed by Alex Garland, who also directed Ex Machina. This show perfectly weaves topics such as quantum computing, fatalism, and messiah that are unlikely to mix at all.

  • Free Solo
    Documentary

    Free Solo is a documentary about an American rock climber, Alex Honnold. It captures him planning and performing free solo climbing El Capitan. It is one of the best documentaries I have ever watched.
