I use Tofi to as my app launcher. Tofi is fast and works well with waybar, I don’t have much more to say on it.

I use awww to manage my wallpaper, although I don’t do anything fancy with it.

I use Waybar with an almost-deault configuration to display all my statuses. I plan to update the look eventually, but have not done so yet.

I use swayidle and swaylock to manage autolocking on my laptop.

For consistency with other servers and while running Ghostty, I have used tmux and enjoy it greatly. At one point I tried to learn Zellij but was not won over.

I use Bash to run most of my scripts, but I primarily use fish for my day-to-day interactions. fish has many great features that I would recommend checking out for yourself, and scripting is dead easy.

My prompt is powered by starship, which has been reliably customizable for years now and I would recommend literally everyone use.

I have two mandatory replacements to existing tools. First, eza is an alternative to the standard ls that provides better details. Second, zoxide is a an alternative to the standard cd that uses fuzzy finding to go where you want.

I love DIYfetch, an alternative to Neofetch or Fastfetch that is nothing more than a suited up Gum script. Speaking of Gum, I would highly recommend checking out all of the software made by Charm, after all, Charm loves open source!

I primarily use NeoVim as my text editor, and I won’t re-sing its praises here. I am partial to a very minimal configuration, using only the built-in package manager and LSP client. The only major plugins I use are Windline, gitsigns, Neo-tree, and Telescope.

In addition to NeoVim, I have used Kakoune, a much newer alternative to NeoVim that I think is worth trying out. I don’t currently use this because my LSP client is broken and I have been too lazy to fix it, but I view it as at least as good as NeoVim.

I use grim, slurp, and swappy to power a custom screenshot script that you can find in my dot files.
