Software
All of my writing is done in Drafts on iOS/iPadOS. If you're here, you knew this already.
Photos are edited using Lightroom in addition to Apple's built-in editor.
All of my podcasting – when I actually do it – is recorded and edited using Ferrite Recording Studio on iOS/iPadOS.
I use affiliate linking and occasionally get money from this. So thanks for clicking these links.
This should be all of it, but I might have missed some things… ↩︎
