Core Principles

1. Never Search For Anything

  • Every app has a home.
  • I keep at least three essentials open at all times:
    1. Terminal → to destroy and rebuild my system as needed.
    2. Web Browser → to consume, test, and overload my memory.
    3. Notes App → to capture thoughts, configs, and system insights.
  • These live in workspaces 1–3 in Hyprland. No digging. No hunting. Always there.

Philosophy: If it’s important, it already has a place. I’m not “finding” — I’m jumping.


2. Ease of Flow

I design layers of access that remove thought from the process:

  • Level 1 (Instant) → Hotkeys bound to my most used apps:
    • Web Browser, File Explorer, Terminal, Notes.
    • No wasted hand movement. No menus.
  • Level 2 (Quick Access) → Macropad for weekly-use tools:
    • OBS for recording.
    • Other utilities I don’t need daily but don’t want to search for.
  • Level 3 (Rare) → Search only when needed:
    • Wallpaper setter, edge-case apps.
    • One quick rofi/wofi or finder query, then done.

Philosophy: Flow is sacred. If I can cut steps, I cut them. If I can bind it, I bind it.


Tools That Shape My Telos


Telos Statement

My desktop is my environment of control, flow, and confidence.
Every app, keybind, and workspace serves the singular purpose: to never waste time searching, never waste energy on the PC — but to be creative and effective in my work.
