MacHeist nanoBundle
MacHeist bundles are a great way of getting a bunch of software at a greatly reduced price. Sure, the bundle contains only one or two applications that one would normally consider purchasing, but given the price of the bundle and the ability to unlock additional applications as more purchases take place it’s certainly an attractive proposition.
The MacHeist nanoBundle is a take on the same theme, except that all applications in the bundle are available without charge. As the number of downloads exceeds a certain threshold, one additional application will be made available.
Six applications are offered in the bundle. ShoveBox is similar to DropBox, but is geared towards capturing web snippets and notes and making them available to other connected systems, including the iPhone. WriteRoom is a bare-bones editor that blanks out everything on the screen with the exception of the text being processed. The application should assist writers with the task at hand without providing extraneous functions. Twitterrific probably needs no introduction. It’s a client for Twitter and is the one I currently use on the Mac. TinyGrab is a screen capture utility that is able to share a screen capture by email automatically. Hordes of Orcs is a tower defense game. Lastly, Mariner Write is the application that is waiting for sufficient downloads to be unlocked for everyone. Mariner Write is a word processor with an impressive number of features and the ability to open Microsoft Word documents.
As with any bundle, there are programs that interest me and those that don’t. In this case, getting a registered version of Twitterrific is worth the download alone. ShoveBox and TinyGrab are applications I’ll probably use and stick with, whilst the word processors and the game won’t get much airtime. In any case, a download of registered software that carries no charge is not to be scoffed at. Get the MacHeist nanoBundle quickly – only six more days to go!
