Tools I use when launching on Product Hunt

There are products I keep using when launching on Product Hunt -- products that help me craft beautiful assets, plan content distribution, and analyze results.

Here's my personal collection. How about you? What's your stack?

Product Hunt

What's in your dock?

I was recently reminded of @Dockhunt and how fun it was to see what kinds of apps different folks kept in their dock. I remember it being a cool way to discover some new products I hadn't seen before. I'm also just a big fan of desktop apps over web apps. I find it a lot easier to stay focused when I'm flipping between apps vs flipping between tabs.

These are the apps in my dock:

@Google Chrome - Pretty basic. I've really been considering switching over to @Horse though.
@Slack - The de facto option.
@Superhuman - Maybe the fastest I've become a fan of a product. I think I was pushing it on others within a few hours.
@Notion - Great for documentation and collaborating. I also use it personally for tracking books I read and video games I play, along with tracking personal projects.
Notion Calendar - The menu bar aspect of this is really what sold me. It makes it so much easier to stay on top of my meetings every day.
@Linear - We just recently switched over to Linear here at @Product Hunt and I've been loving it. Pro tip: if you prefer the desktop app, there's a setting to open links in the app, but you can only set that option through the web version.
@iTerm2 - I've tried others, but this is my favorite. This + @Neovim is just
@Claude by Anthropic - This has been my LLM of choice for a while, and I really like having it as a desktop app. Especially the keyboard shortcut to quickly bring it up and ask something.
@Tandem - Super easy to stay in touch and sync with teammates. Incredibly useful for a remote team.
@Spotify - I typically have a YouTube video on in the background, but if I'm writing or doing something more focused, I'll typically have some kind of Jazz going.

What are your favorite "fun" apps?

Yesterday @fmerian recommended Googly Eyes from @Sindre Sorhus, which I immediately downloaded! After enjoying the eyes following my cursor around for the day, that got me thinking - what other fun, goofy apps do you all have for your Mac, Chrome, or other devices that don't necessarily serve a purpose other than to bring joy and break the monotony? @Scroll Buddy is another one that comes to mind that I have saved in a collection.

We see productivity apps, AI-based software, open-source products, etc. all the time, but what about your saved products someone made after their 9-5 or on a weekend just to have fun and test their skills?
