Handmade by real people, for real people.<\/p>\n<p>If we\u2019re going to pay for it, it needs to be extraordinary.<\/p>\n<p>For the last few years, I\u2019ve been using <a href=\"https:\/\/superhuman.com\/refer\/u5ur53bp\">Superhuman<\/a>, which costs me about a dollar a day. Even if you don\u2019t use email as much as I do, I think you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s a bargain. (The link gets you two free months). It takes about three hours to learn, which is a big part of why it works.<\/p>\n<p>I also subscribe to the vetted suite of tools at <a href=\"https:\/\/setapp.com\/\">Setapp<\/a>. They rarely disappoint.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/roonlabs.com\/r\/Oxoo7PGhQUiYBrsiXcRTEg\">Roon<\/a> is software to control your home stereo. I have a lifetime subscription, and the link gets you thirty days for free. If you love music, you\u2019ll get a lot out of this.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lightburnsoftware.com\/\">Lightburn<\/a> is my favorite way to control a laser cutter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bitwarden.com\/\">Bitwarden<\/a> is a well crafted password manager, and it\u2019s very cheap.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nisus.com\/pro\/\">Nisus Writer Pro<\/a> is a delightful word processor for the Mac. Not distracting or showy, it simply works great.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocenaudio.com\/\">Ocenaudio<\/a> is my audio editor of choice. I happily pay for it, but the free version is great.<\/p>\n<p>And yes, Puzzmo. I had a really good score on <a href=\"https:\/\/puzzmo.com\/puzzle\/2025-10-08\/bongo\/?word=PYLON&amp;row=2&amp;startIndex=0&amp;rowScore=294&amp;totalScore=835&amp;sharedGameplay=p5a59k1lix\">Bongo<\/a> today.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qobuz.com\/\">Qobuz<\/a> unlocks millions of tracks of hi-rez quality music. I promise you can hear the difference, especially with headphones.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, of course I\u2019m using software from giant companies like Adobe and Anthropic, but you knew about them already.<\/p>\n<p>And if it\u2019s books you are after, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seths.store\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.seths.store\">seths.store<\/a> is a place to find mine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"byline\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"date\">October 8, 2025<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n\t\t\/\/ Delaying FB pixel script to load after 4 seconds to not affect on initial page load.\n\t\tsetTimeout( function () {\n\t\t\t!function ( f, b, e, v, n, t, s ) {\n\t\t\t\tif ( f.fbq ) {\n\t\t\t\t\treturn;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\tn = f.fbq = function () {\n\t\t\t\t\tn.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply( n, arguments ) : n.queue.push( arguments )\n\t\t\t\t};\n\t\t\t\tif ( !f._fbq ) {\n\t\t\t\t\tf._fbq = n;\n\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\tn.push = n;\n\t\t\t\tn.loaded = !0;\n\t\t\t\tn.version = '2.0';\n\t\t\t\tn.queue = [];\n\t\t\t\tt = b.createElement( e );\n\t\t\t\tt.async = !0;\n\t\t\t\tt.src = v;\n\t\t\t\ts = b.getElementsByTagName( e )[0];\n\t\t\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore( t, s )\n\t\t\t}( window, document, 'script',\n\t\t\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js' );\n\t\t\tfbq( 'init', '221651354884486' );\n\t\t\tfbq( 'track', 'PageView' );\n\t\t}, 4000 );\n\t<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hop.clickbank.net\/?affiliate=infohatch&amp;vendor=J1R2C\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10614 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png\" alt=\"Profit Gen\" width=\"400\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png 400w, https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s more software available for free than ever before, and a lot of it is really good.
