Spare Notes

Tools & Things

Over time I find some tools or things that I really like. Things that might only do one job, but for me they do it very well. Maybe they can help you.

NOTE: I'm using the windows version where applicable.

Audacity

The audio editing tool I use to edit my podcast. I've tried others but just didn't like them. This is my go to tool when it comes to editing audio.

Brain.FM

A collection of sounds / music that helps you focus fast and do deep work or learning. I use this all the time and am currently at 144 weeks of concurrent use.

Caesium Image Compressor

A great free tool to compress images with and even resize them. Took me a while to find a decent tool, this is it. Also has an online version as well.

FastStone Capture

A screen capture tool with heaps of options. It works well and I use it almost daily from grabbing screenshots, explaining something or figuring out a colour.

Obsidian

A note taking app that create markdown files stored on your system. I use this for everything. I also pay for the sync so I can access it everywhere.
