My experience

Rachit brings over 10 years of experience covering the consumer technology landscape. His work appears in leading publications, including Android Police, 91Mobiles, and Beebom.

He investigates and crafts in-depth features that uncover emerging tech trends, covers interesting new science and tech developments, and empowers readers to make the most of their devices.

As a trusted Apple expert, he brings you hidden iOS tips and reviews of the latest Mac hardware, breaking down Apple's products and features in a practical, easy-to-follow way. Whether it's the latest OS releases or major hardware drops, Rachit can help you get more out of every Apple device you own.

Outside of work, Rachit enjoys exploring new gadgets, experimenting with software, and reading fantasy novels. When he’s not writing, you’ll find him tinkering with his MacBook, discovering and testing new apps, writing on his Supernote, or diving into the latest fantasy novels.

The technology I use

I live inside the Apple ecosystem. My primary devices are a MacBook Pro and an iPhone Air, complemented by an iPad Pro and an Apple Watch. For video and photography, I shoot with a Sony a6700 and edit in DaVinci Resolve, Pixelmator Pro, Affinity Photo, and Lightroom Classic.

Though I love experimenting with new E-Ink tablets, my preferred device right now is the Supernote Nomad, thanks to its excellent software and writing experience.

I write all my stories in Markdown using Ulysses and rely on DEVONthink to keep everything organized. That said, if a story is long and involves rigorous research, I prefer Scrivener. For notes, I use a combination of Obsidian and Craft for deeper thinking, and Apple Notes for capturing quick thoughts.

OmniFocus keeps my projects and tasks from spiraling out of control, while Readwise manages my ever-growing reading list and helps me retain a meaningful portion of what I consume.
