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 PH products have become part of your daily work?

I ve discovered a lot of useful products through Product Hunt over time.

Funny thing is, some of them I found way back, but only recently started using when the right use case clicked. I kept bookmarking them. And that s when their real value showed up.

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?
