Software
I choose software with two principles:
- Data remains accessible and usable even if the software is no longer available.
- The software should seamlessly fit into my workflow.
With the principles, I prefer open source software to proprietary ones:
- Emacs for coding, reading and writing
- Zed for agentic coding
- Ghostty and fish shell for great terminal experience
- Zotero and zotero-better-bibtex for reference.bib
- Calibre for EPUBs

- Google Drive for photos ($29.99/year)
- iCloud for family sharing (¥68/month)
- Dropbox for syncing small files (free)
- Claude Code for agentic coding ($20/month)
