Uses

On this page, I list all the tools I’m currently using. I’ll try to keep it as updated as possible, as we go. I have broken down the tools into Software and Hardware and listed any tool I use on my machine or my phone under these categories. ot only that, I have also provided links for lesser-known tools or for more information. So, without further ado, I give you my uses:
