My iPad Setup

Yesterday I was chatting briefly with some-one I’ve known on social media for a few years now, Jim Connolly. As a result of that conversation I said I’d do a photo of my current iPad setup.

The iPad is my main computing device. Except when I need to code, I can do pretty much everything else I need to do on my iPad. This blog is exclusively written on the iPad or iPhone.

My current setup is as follows:

  • iPad Pro 12.9″ 2nd Gen
  • Apple Pencil
  • UGreen Tablet Stand
  • JETech Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard
  • Lamicall Adjustable iPad Stand
  • HooToo wireless hard drive companion, wireless router, battery extender, access point
  • FiFine USB Condenser Microphone (not shown)
  • Snugg iPad case

I have 2 stands because the UGreen one (the white one) fits better in the bag that I take to work. While the metal Lamicall (which I prefer because of the height) stays at home and is used there (unless I go away then it gets put in the suitcase).

For the record the rest of my blogging makes use of an iPhone 6S, gorilla pod, a cheap tripod, and a phone holder mount that allows me to securely attach my iPhone to the tripod (it’s more robust than the flimsy one that comes with the gorilla pod).

I suppose folks might like to know what my apps are that I use the most when writing this blog.

  • wordpress app (naturally)
  • Pixelmator
  • LiveCollage+
  • Diptic
  • Percolator (for obscuring peoples faces)

Here are some of my other favourite apps:

  • GoodNotes
  • iThoughts
  • Kindle/iBooks
  • MS Office Apps
  • Dropbox
  • Outliner

I hope that has been of interest to folks.
