Builder Stack: Tools I Open Every Week
12
items Not a dump of every SaaS on earth.
These are the tools I actually open in a normal shipping week as a senior dev building AI-native products: AI coding, deploy, focus, and growth.
If it is not in my weekly tabs, it is not on this list.

AI Coding
Pair programmers and IDEs I open before anything else when building.
Where the code actually lands.
Repo-aware edits beat copy-paste from a chat window every time I ship a feature end to end.
Daily driver IDE when I want AI inside the diff, not in a separate tab.

Cursor
Second brain for quick drafts, API sketches, and when I need a different model personality than Claude.
I keep it open for lightweight research, one-off scripts, and voice-of-customer phrasing.
Not my main coding agent, but I reach for it several tim...
ChatGPT
Default pair-programmer when the task is design and code in the same breath.
Long context, strong multi-file reasoning, and fewer autocomplete-only moments than smaller models.
I open Claude first for refactors, architecture decisions, and agent loop...
Claude
Ship & Deploy
Where code lands and how it reaches users.
Source of truth for every repo.
PRs, Actions, and Issues are still how work becomes reviewable and shippable with other humans or agents.
I treat a clean main branch and small PRs as part of the product, not ceremony.

GitHub
Default deploy path for frontends and serverless when I want preview URLs in minutes.
Push to git, get a shareable build, iterate without babysitting servers.
I open it weekly for production logs, env vars, and domain wiring.

Vercel
DNS, Workers, R2, and edge stuff that should not live on a random VPS.
When latency, bot traffic, or a small Worker matters more than a full app host, this is the tab I open.
Also my go-to for SSL and domain hygiene across side projects.

Ops & Focus
Tasking, notes, and the launcher that keeps me fast.
Issue tracker that does not feel like enterprise sludge.
I park real work here: bugs, ship slices, and agent tasks I need to resume later.
Keyboard-first and fast enough that I actually keep it current instead of a graveyard backlog.
Access the tool:...
Linear
Launcher that replaced half my Dock and a dozen browser bookmarks.
Snippets, window management, and quick jumps into repos or dashboards without leaving the keyboard.
If it takes more than two clicks, I usually Raycast it once and never dig through m...
Raycast
Specs, SOPs, and lightweight docs that agents and humans both need to read.
I do not live in Notion for every note, but product briefs and recurring checklists stay here so they survive context resets.
Weekly open when a project needs a single source...
Notion
Grow & Measure
Traffic, payments, and product analytics I actually check.
When a product needs organic traffic, not only paid ads or social.
Fast keyword angles and content outlines before I write a word.
I open it when shipping a landing page or blog that should rank, not just look pretty.
Access the tool: https://tolt.li...
ChatSEO
Payments that I trust for real revenue, not demo checkouts.
Checkout, billing portal, webhooks, and the dashboard I actually open when money moves.
If a SaaS cannot take a card cleanly, it is not shipped.
Access the tool: https://stripe.com/
Stripe
Product analytics without waiting on a data team.
Funnels, session replay, and feature flags when I need to know what users do after deploy.
I check it weekly after releases so gut feel does not replace event data.
