Project Summary

This repository is a personal toolkit documenting the author's curated collection of hardware, macOS software, iOS apps, and other digital tools. It serves as a reference for individuals interested in optimizing their personal tech stack for productivity, learning, and daily life.

How It Works

The project is a comprehensive list of tools and hardware, categorized by function (e.g., System Expansion, File Management, Security, Network, Development, Video Editing). Each entry includes brief descriptions, usage notes, and sometimes personal anecdotes or reasons for adoption/rejection. The author emphasizes a "tool-centric" philosophy, seeking optimal solutions for specific needs.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is not a software project to be installed or run. It is a curated list of tools and hardware.

Highlighted Details

  • Extensive documentation of personal hardware setups, including multiple MacBook Pros, NAS devices, and custom keyboards.
  • Detailed catalog of macOS and iOS applications, covering productivity, development, media, and utilities, with many entries noting migration or abandonment.
  • Insights into the author's workflow and preferences, such as the use of AI tools for coding and writing, and a focus on Markdown-based note-taking.
  • Includes a section on digital asset management, cloud storage, and personal finance tools.

Maintenance & Community

The README is updated periodically, with the last update noted as May 4, 2025. The primary contributor is "Pseudoyu". No community links or other contributors are explicitly mentioned.

Licensing & Compatibility

The repository itself is a collection of text and descriptions, not software with a license. The author notes that all software services mentioned are personally purchased or under educational licenses, and encourages supporting legitimate software.

Limitations & Caveats

This repository is a personal log and not a deployable application. The tools and hardware listed reflect the author's specific use cases and preferences, which may not directly translate to other users' needs. Many listed tools have been marked as "abandoned" or "replaced," indicating a dynamic and evolving personal tech stack.
