What are your favorite tools?

I’m really liking:

Hex: voice to text locally. Better than Handy

Paper2audio.com : TTS on cloud for books and very generous free tier. Synchronized across web and app too

    Terminal part: Ghostty + tmux + different CLI apps such as vim and glow (the latter is for reading Markdown in terminal in a pretty way, since everything is Markdown now).

    Voice to text: currently Handy, but you got me curious enough to try Hex.

    AI agent harness: Happy (disclaimer: I'm affiliated). Open source, and it's letting me use subs I already had + local models a bit.

    Ah, I can't resist these!

    I work a lot in the terminal: - Alacritty - zellij - helix - fish-shell

    Non terminal stuff (do operating systems count): - Zen browser - /e/os - elementary OS

    I've had a lot of fun playing around with pi and ollama recently too.

    Impact Drivers are far superior to drills for driving bolts and screws. Couldn't imagine not using them now.

    why is hex better than Handy? I feel like you need to give an explanation there.

    Handy running Parakeet is fine for my use.

      Used handy all year, felt slow, didn’t catch ums or trailing words. Uses CoreML and apple neural engine, it’s lightweight, less errors, faster,
