Flare Liked
To track exceptions in production, I've found Flare to be very helpful.

Laravel Shift Liked
I've only used Laravel Shift a few times, but each time I did it saved a lot of time upgrading my Laravel projects.

Hetzner Liked
For some projects I've started to use Hetzner for vps hosting. I've found you can get more powerful servers for a cheaper cost than with providers like DigitalOcean.

Laravel Forge Loved
Laravel Forge is an amazing service offered by the Laravel team to provision and manage servers. I use it for both my personal and work related servers.

Blip Liked
While Airdrop works very well between Apple devices, it can be kind of annoying to transfer files between either my Mac or iPhone and my Windows PC when I need to. The Blip app helps bridge that gap and is free and easy to use. I've actually started using it more often between my Apple devices as well than I use Airdrop now.

Shottr Loved
Shottr makes manipulating screenshots a lot easier and nicer than the default screenshot functionality provided by macOS. My favorite feature from it is the ability to easily blur out text in my screenshots.

Spark Mail App Liked
On both my MacBook and iPhone, I prefer to use the Spark Mail App for handling my emails.
randallwilk.dev 2026-06-15
Backblaze Uses
In addition to time machine backups, I also use Backblaze as an offsite backup.
randallwilk.dev 2026-06-15
1Password Loved
If you're not using a password manager, you're doing it wrong. I prefer to use 1Password. I honestly don't think I could live without 1Password. Having access to all my vaults across all my devices is also a plus.

Raycast Loved
I've never liked Spotlight on macOS, and previously I used Alfred as a replacement. However, now I've discovered Raycast. Raycast is my primary mode of navigating through macOS, as I've bound the keyboard shortcut to

YubiKey 5C NFC Recommends
For websites and services that support Webauthn authentication, I use a YubiKey 5C NFC security key. This particular key is nice because it works with both my MacBook and my iPhone without having to use any adapters. I highly recommend purchasing at least one of these to use a form of two-factor authentication for websites that support it.

Apple Watch Series 10 Loved
I never was much of a watch person until I bought my Apple Watch Series 10. Now I feel naked if I leave home without wearing it.

UniFi UNAS Pro 8 Liked
I've been wanting to get a NAS for a while now, so I decided to go all-in and get the UNAS Pro 8 from UniFi. The initial cost was a lot but for me it's been well worth the investment.

Logitech MX Master 4 Mouse Loved
Even when not docked, I still prefer an external mouse for most operations. I really love the Logitech MX Master 4 mouse. For me, it feels great to hold, and it also provides support for some macOS gestures like swiping up for mission control.

NuPhy Halo IO Series 96 Keyboard Loved
I decided to give NuPhy keyboards a try, and I'm glad I did. This keyboard has become my favorite one to use.
randallwilk.dev 2026-06-15
HUANUO Dual Monitor Stand Liked
I prefer using monitor arms over the default stand that most monitors come with, and at the end of 2022 I switched to the HUANUO Dual Monitor Stand. It's a single mount with two monitor arms, and it holds the monitors in place nicely. Each arm is flexible in where I can position them.

Sanodesk 72x30 Standing Desk Loved
Another part of my recent office upgrade was the Sanodesk 72x30 Standing Desk. Overall, I love this desk so far. The bamboo top looks and feels great, and I have plenty of room on the desk to set it up how I want to. Being able to raise it to a standing position is also nice too when I get sick of sitting.

BenQ ScreenBar Halo 2 Light Bar Liked
Using these BenQ light bars allows me to better illuminate my desk at night without having to keep my overhead lights on. What I really like about this light bar is that it can be configured to automatically turn off when I leave the desk.

Dell S2725DS 27-Inch Monitor Liked
I've been upgrading my home office setup, and these monitors have been part of that upgrade. So far I'm very happy with the picture and color quality of the monitors, and the pricing really wasn't too bad either. Here's the

CalDigit TS5 Plus Dock Liked
When I purchased this dock it cost me $500, so it was not cheap! It has been well worth the cost though, giving me plenty of ports to use and even allowing me to charge accessories without having my MacBook plugged into it.

16-inch MacBook Pro M4 Max Loved
Overall, I'm loving the M4 Max so far, and I've noticed that it does handle certain tasks such as running Pest PHP tests about twice as fast sometimes as the M1 Pro did, which is nice.
randallwilk.dev 2026-06-15
Transmit Liked
Sometimes to connect to S3, FTP and SFTP servers, I like to use Transmit.

Helo Loved
TablePlus Liked
In the past, I've used DataGrip from JetBrains to manage my databases. Now, I prefer to use TablePlus, as it is much simpler to use.

Ray Loved
Ray is an excellent debugging tool I like to use from the amazing Spatie.
randallwilk.dev 2026-06-15
Laravel Herd Loved
Using Herd for local development is a no-brainer. In my experience it's made it much easier to manage my sites and local php and node versions, plus it runs each site much faster.
randallwilk.dev 2026-06-15
Pest Plugin Liked
Pest Plugin. It makes Pest a first class citizen in the IDE, and as another perk, it's completely free.
randallwilk.dev 2026-06-15
Laravel Idea Liked
Since I mostly work on Laravel projects or packages, I usually enable the Laravel Idea plugin. It's a paid plugin, but it's definitely worth the money since it can provide stuff like auto-completions for route names, request fields and more.
randallwilk.dev 2026-06-15
PHPStorm Loved
PhpStorm is still my IDE of choice. I've tried many others in the past including Visual Studio Code, Sublime, or Atom, but I keep coming back to PhpStorm. Here's a screenshot of my editor setup:
