Library
A library of my favorite things. Use categories, collections, or tags when you want to narrow in.
I also write a weekly newsletter where I share a few of my favorite things. Subscribe to Ben Recommends.
Featured and Favorites collection items sort first, then A–Z.

For meetings that I want to have a transcript for, I always use granola. It enriches my own personal notes, and gives me a chatbot to review the meeting with. It’s like being able to discuss the meeting with a colleague with perfect memory. The link will give you your first month free!

Setapp is a single subscription that grants you access to over 200 MacOS and iOS apps. I love it for two reasons. First it’s, full of genuinely useful apps that I use everyday. Secondly, they are frequently adding more apps to their répertoire, which provides a nice dose of novelty and exploration. It scratches a bit of my curiosity itch.

Although it took a fair amount of time to make a new habit, I now use Wispr Flow for almost everything. Prompting while I write code, sending communicational-ly kind text messages, and even drafting this newsletter right now. Wispr Flow lets you use voice dictation and it nicely formats and synthesizes your messaging. It’s like having a scribe that gets your context and communicates it… rather than just writing down your verbatim ramblings.
