![]() ![]() I use a combination of Ember and Aperture for photos and screenshots. Previously, I used Pinboard to keep track of bookmarks, though lately I’ve been trying a nice OS X and iOS app called Stache. I use 1Password for password management across all my devices, and Simplenote for keeping track of lists and any writing I’m working on. Although I only use them infrequently, they’re all great at their job. Other developer apps that deserve a mention are Deploymate, Tokens, Transmit, xScope and Acorn. It takes a lot for me to become hooked on an app (especially when it’s a UI wrapper or alternative to a free system tool), so it says something that I keep going back to these tools. Gitbox, Dash, and Kaleidoscope all see use on a daily basis as well. What software do you use and for what do you use it?Īs a Cocoa developer most of my work centers around Xcode and TextMate. A combination of geofencing, iBeacons, and Arduino sensors manage lighting automatically (at least when things are working correctly).Ībove my desk I have a map of the locations in the US where I’ve spent time bicycle touring. I’ve been experimenting with Belkin’s home automation hardware, and all the lights in the room are controlled with a location aware iOS app I built. ![]() There’s a bin under my desk with headphones, a Doxie Go portable scanner, gaming mouse, and various cables. In my home office I have a 24″ Dell monitor, Apple keyboard and Apple Trackpad, AudioEngine A2 speakers, iPad Mini Retina, and an iPhone 5. It’s always seemed like the best compromise between speed, screen size, and portability, which is good when you spend a lot of time programming in cafes. I’ve used a 15″ Apple laptop of one sort or another for over 10 years now. It’s over two years old at this point, though it still feels just as fast as a new machine. What is your current setup?Įditor’s note: You can find Marc’s wallpaper here. ![]() One that I help organize is Code for Portland, where we help connect coders to projects that matter in our community. In the Portland tech scene I’m active in a few regular meetup groups. From time to time I also make apps for my indie software venture Downtown Software House. I work on a lot of projects and side projects!ĭuring the day I’m usually at the Esri PDX R&D Center creating tools to help developers use Esri’s geographic software and bring maps to mobile and the web. My name is Marc and I’m an OS X and iOS software engineer in Portland, OR. New setup interviews are posted every Monday follow us on RSS or Twitter to stay up to date. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better. Every week we post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. ![]()
