I use a lot of different software tools in the course of my research, so I need a way to keep track of them in case something destroys my computer. That is the purpose of this post.

Python and python related tools

• Anaconda python distribution (version 3.5)
• Snakemake for managing scientific workflows

Jupyter tools

• jupyter
• nteract: for running notebooks on desktop
• nbstripout: for removing output from ipython notebooks before commiting to a git repository.

Text editing

• emacs with spacemacs

Mac OS tools

• Alfred: a better version of the Mac OS spotlight application
• Spectacle: keyboard shortcuts for moving windows around.
• dash: offline documentation browser
