Tech I enjoy

I’ve always been highly curious and excited about tech and now AI has taken it to the next level. As a lover of good apps the possibility to vibe code your own apps is exhilarating 🤩 I feel very lucky to be able to work in an AI company and follow the latest developments close by. You can read more about my AI experiments on my Substack.

Gadgets and apps I continue to love

  • OuraI started using the Oura ring when it first came out and continue to enjoy it. The readiness and sleep data helps me ensure I am taking care of my recovery.
  • TodoistBest to-do app ever! I've been a loyal user for over 10 years now. I always have two separate accounts – one for work and another for my private stuff.
  • DuolingoAn amazing app for learning languages, helps me order my croissant in style when in Paris ;)
  • SpotifyI listen to all my music on Spotify. I love their ready-made music lists as well as the possibility to create your own lists. My kids even have their own accounts so they don’t screw up my Wrapped stats and we can compare ours together every December 😀
  • MousetimerA life-saving timer app for all parents of small kids that has prevented more sibling fights than any parenting book I've read.
  • Screen Time + blocked notifications for iPhoneNo app on my phone is allowed to make a sound or otherwise tempt me to open my phone. Creating clear boundaries for phone use ensures healthier usage.
