~~I regularly get messages asking about which tools I use to work.~~
|
||
|
||
Nobody has asked me what I use. Ever. But here's a list of my daily drivers and necessities anyways, mostly revolving around my Apple sheepy-ness. Inspired by [many, many others](https://github.com/wesbos/awesome-uses#readme). ❤️

|
||
- I also have incredibly weird ears, apparently, so my AirPods went right back to the store when they came out. 😢

## ☁️ Cloud {#cloud}
|

I've been making recent efforts to [de-Google](https://www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/) my life, with mixed results...
|
||
|
||
- ~~Gmail~~ → [**Fastmail**](https://www.fastmail.com/) [(referral link)](https://ref.fm/u20274504)

|
||
- ~~Google DNS~~ → [**Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 DNS**](https://1.1.1.1/dns/)
|
||
- ~~Google Analytics~~ → both of these are awesome, privacy-aware "visitor counters" rather than trackers:
|
||

|
||
- [**DNSimple**](https://dnsimple.com/) [(referral link)](https://dnsimple.com/r/eb6ced548f1e0a) & [**Cloudflare**](https://www.cloudflare.com/) for DNS.
