Linpika (Liam)
Designer, Minimalist, and AI tools explorer.
Interested in tools and systems that make life and creation feel clearer — not for the tools themselves, but for how they help one person accumulate knowledge, create meaningful work, develop skills, and expand creative leverage.
I believe in minimalism — not because it looks refined, but because it forces clarity: to choose what matters, remove what does not, and protect attention from unnecessary noise. Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
Daily Use
OpenAI The AI layer I use for thinking, drafting, coding, and critique. Notion My second brain for projects, notes, tasks, and publishing sources. Figma The place where rough ideas become visual systems. Framer A fast canvas for testing interaction ideas and website prototypes. Arc My browser for research spaces, saved context, and focused sessions. Raycast The command layer that keeps small actions out of the way.
Practical Tools
CleanShot X Screenshots, but done right. Scrolling capture, one-click background removal, beautiful annotations, and OCR that actually works when I need to grab text from an image. Eagle My visual reference library. Collect, tag, find — it turns the chaotic habit of hoarding inspiration into something I can actually search through in seconds. Typeless When my typing cant catch up with my thinking, I just talk. The dictation accuracy and speed are good enough that I draft entire rough sections without touching the keyboard. Bob Select text, get translation — no context switching. The screenshot OCR translate is my go-to for reading foreign articles, and I barely notice it running until I need it. Screen Studio Record, export, ship. The auto-zoom tracking and smooth cursor make product walkthroughs look polished without touching a video editor. Perfect for when I want the demo to speak for itself.
