Operational Stack.
Select is the actual external software we run our operation on. No affiliate links — just the tools we depend on every day.
The list is updated only when a tool is added, replaced, or dropped. Current pass: Apr 5, 2026.
Linear
The fastest issue tracker we have used. Keyboard-first, opinionated, and quiet. Every CLASSEVE project runs on it.
Trade-off: No free tier for teams. Per-seat pricing adds up.
Warp
A modern terminal that treats the shell as a real interface. Block-based output, inline AI, and fast rendering.
Trade-off: macOS and Linux only. No Windows support yet.
Figma
Still the most collaborative design tool. Real-time multiplayer, component libraries, and dev mode that actually works.
Trade-off: Heavy on RAM. The free tier limits projects.
Obsidian
Local-first markdown notes with bidirectional links. Your vault is plain files on your disk — no vendor lock-in, ever.
Trade-off: Sync is a paid add-on. Mobile app is functional but not fast.
Arc
A browser that treats tabs as a workspace problem. Spaces, split views, and a command bar that replaces most extensions.
Trade-off: macOS and Windows only. Chromium under the hood.
Raycast
Spotlight replacement that does clipboard history, snippets, window management, and extensions without leaving the keyboard.
Trade-off: macOS only. Pro features are subscription-based.
