MacHeist software bundle for $49

Hi all,

Thought you might like to know about a very good software bundle
that's going on at the moment.
It's MacHeist 2 and has a stack of software for $49 (which is worth
around $400). I figure it's worth buying purely CSSEdit and
Pixelmator.

9 Of the programs are available now and the other 2 will be unlocked
when enough bundles have been sold (anyone who has bough the bundle
before this still gets a license) Personally, I bought the bundle
about 10 minutes after it went live. The bundle is time limited and
is only available for another 12 days, I'd suggest anyone who wants it
gets it now to assist with the unlocking of the other apps :)

There's mass speculation on the site that at least another app will be
included, possible more than one more. (Speed Download has already
been included as an extra - it's excellent!)

If anyone does buy it, I'd appreciate it if you could use my referral
link (shameless plug; as one other small app gets unlocked if you
refer another person): https://www.macheist.com/buy/invite/41228

The software included comprises:
1password $29.95
CoverSutra $22.00
Cha-Ching $40.00
iStopMotion $49.00
Awaken $12.95
Speed Download $25.00
AppZapper $12.95
TaskPaper $18.95
CSSEdit $29.95
Snapz Pro X $69.00 (locked at present)
Pixelmator $59.00 (locked at present)


1password

1Password is a Password Manager that uniquely brings you both security
and convenience. It is the only program that provides anti-phishing
protection and goes beyond password management by adding web form
filling and automatic strong password generation. All your
confidential information, including passwords, identities, and credit
cards, is kept in one secure place provided by Apple's OS X Keychain.
Included browser extensions support Safari, Camino, Firefox, OmniWeb,
DEVONagent, NetNewsWire, Netscape Navigator, and Flock. All browser
extensions share the data stored in the keychain which means you never
need to manually copy your passwords between browsers or from the
password manager to a browser ever again!

1Password has received numerous awards, including 4.5 mice from
Macworld magazine, MacLife Editors pick, and was the Pick of Week on
MacBreak Weekly by tech pundits Leo Laporte and Merlin Mann.

CoverSutra

Let's face it... there are about five million iTunes controllers out
there, and every single one of them does the same thing: next,
previous, pause, shuffle. Why spend money on CoverSutra when you can
find a couple million worthy alternatives with a Google search?

Because CoverSutra is to iTunes controllers as the iPod is to music
players. Sure, the fact is that all MP3 players really do the same
thing... they play music. But nobody does it better than iPod. And no
controller does it more beautifully, more painlessly, and more
powerfully than CoverSutra. Combining an elegant interface, including
a CD jewelcase with cover art right there on your desktop, with some
powerful features ( Last.fm integration, fully customizable keyboard
shortcuts, and instant player controls), CoverSutra is worth it for
the same reason the iPod is: it does the same thing all the other
players do, only better.

If that wasn't enough, we're offering all MacHeist customers exclusive
early access to CoverSutra 2, which features brand new music search,
an updated UI, and more.

Cha-Ching


Hodgeman claims in those ads that PCs are the realm of acccounting and
spreadsheets, but we know the truth: Mac users have finances to worry
about, too. But we've got a secret weapon: Cha-Ching, an app that
makes even boring stuff like checkbook balancing, budgets, bills and
expenses fun and easy to use. No one would ever accuse Quicken of
doing anything iTunes-style, but that's exactly what Cha-Ching is--
they've taken the best of OS X interfaces, and turned it into an
accounting program.
And they've even borrowed functionality-- you can create smart folders
to group data, and even tag items to view in budgets and reports
later.

PC users claim they rule at accounting, but we know the truth: even
when it comes to crunching numbers, an OS X app has the interface and
experience cornered. Cha-Ching makes even the toughest money functions
simple to do, and looks good doing it. There is such a thing as "sexy"
financial software, and Cha-Ching is it.

Bundle purchasers will have exclusive beta access to Cha-Ching 2.0

iStopMotion


Stop motion is a method of filming that involves taking snapshots of
inanimate objects, and tweaking their positions in each frame, to
achieve an illusion of motion when the shots are played back at speed.
This is the technique used by movies such as the original King Kong,
The Nightmare Before Christmas. and TV series like Robot Chicken and
Moral Orel.

iStopMotion is the ultimate tool for stop motion photography. Brought
to you by the folks at Boinx, iStopMotion offers a powerful toolbox of
features that streamlines the process of capturing and processing stop
motion film. All you need is a camera, some props, and a great idea.

Awaken


Never wake up to your alarm clock's shrill buzzer again. Awaken allows
you to set any song in your iTunes library (or a playlist) as the
buzzer on multiple alarms.

If you're worrying about alarms failing due to your computer falling
asleep, no need to worry - Awaken supports waking your computer up
from sleep to pull off its job of waking you up. Plus, you can control
all of this from your bed using the Apple remote.

Best of all, we've secured an exclusive for MacHeist customers. You'll
be the only ones with your hands on an exclusive new version of
Awaken: version 4.0, which is totally rewritten, and features a new,
animated UI, better iTunes support, additional full screen modes, and
more.

Speed Download


*** Bonus App! Free to all who purchased already and future
purchasers. ***

You know how, when you stay in a nice hotel, there's always a well-
dressed doorman at the door that keeps track of all the action and
looks good doing it? Speed Download is that doorman for your Mac. It
stands between you and the Internet, and makes sure that everyone
coming through knows exactly what they're doing and where to go.
Everything that comes in and out, whether it come to or from the
browser, FTP, your iDisk, or the included encrypted P2P client is
handled with speed and power and sorted by type-- movies go into Front
Row, music goes directly into iTunes, and everything else goes exactly
where you want it, automatically.

Track your history, use Smart Folders to organize your files, and take
advantage of unlimited undos throughout the application and a smooth
auto-resume on everything if you make any mistakes. We all know what
the Internet is for: downloading, and Speed Download helps you do
exactly that.

AppZapper


Featuring a breathtakingly simple user interface that is infused with
a sense of humor (zap!), AppZapper succeeds in transforming the
mundane task of uninstalling apps into a genuinely fun experience.
It's no surprise that AppZapper quickly became one of the Mac
community's top selling apps within weeks of its release.

Just drag an app into AppZapper's window, and you'll be immediately
presented with a list of all associated files the app has scattered
around your hard drive. From there, you're just a quick zap away from
a thorough purging.

And to note, a major 2.0 upgrade, free for all customers, is on its
way. AppZapper 2.0, which is currently under development, features a
Leopard-tastic refresh of AppZapper's looks and features. Believe it
or not, AppZapper 2 actually has less buttons than version 1. Stay
tuned for more information in the coming weeks.

TaskPaper


For Mac users who want a simpler way to create lists. TaskPaper is a
simple to-do list application that helps you stay organized. Unlike
competing applications, TaskPaper is based on plain text files which
offer you paper-like simplicity and ease of use.

TaskPaper makes it easy to create a list of your projects and their
tasks so that you always know what needs to be done. It's simple to
reorganize the list, create new items, mark items as done, and delete
items that you're finished with. You can also assign contexts (such as
"home", "office", or "car") to your tasks so that you can later
generate lists of all tasks assigned to a specific context.

CSSEdit


There's no easier and quicker way to go from code to preview than with
the winner of the Apple Design Award for Best Developer Tool of 2007,
CSSEdit. Their Live Preview lets you see your code at work immediately
and in real-time-- no uploading, no refreshing, just editor and
output. And incredible tools like CodeSense (which actually learns how
you write code as you write it) and Selector Builder make sure the
code you create is perfectly formed and simple to put together.

And after the code is created, the X-ray inspector will let you search
every element and attribute, and the Milestones feature will let you
track all your changes from concept to validation. If you edit CSS (or
just want to start doing so), CSSEdit is a must-have piece of
software.

Snapz Pro X


Snapz Pro is currently locked, and will be made available for all
customers once it is unlocked at $100,000 raised for charities.

As we all learned way back in kindergarten, telling isn't enough--
showing is where it's at. Whether you're selling software to users
with a screencast, making a design nitpick clear to your co-workers,
or just showing Mom how easy it is to use iTunes, Snapz Pro X is
designed to make it super easy for you to show what you're doing on
your Mac to someone else. Whether it's screengrabs or all out
screencasts, Snapz makes it simple, super-fast, and elegant--
everything you'd expect from an award-winning and much-loved piece of
Mac software.

The Live Preview feature lets you edit your screenshots live and on
the fly-- no more opening up a grab only to find you have to take it
again. And Snapz' video capture engine is faster than any other
application of its kind out there, so you can screencast every one of
OS X's beautiful graphic touches-- Expose, the Genie Effect, and even
DVD playback-- without worrying about a low framerate.

Snapz Pro X makes a perfect capture, still or video, every single
time. Why settle for telling when it's just so easy to show?

Pixelmator


Pixelmator is currently locked. Its unlock criteria will be unveiled
once Snapz Pro is unlocked, and once these criteria are met,
Pixelmator will be released for all customers.

Pixelmator is a beautifully designed, easy-to-use, fast and powerful
image editor for Mac OS X has everything you need to create, edit and
enhance your images.

Pixelmator is a layer-based image editor. You can quickly create
layers from your photos, other pictures, from selections or even your
iSight. Yes, Pixelmator can add a layer to your composition directly
from your Mac's little camera. Not only can you link and arrange added
layers, but Pixelmator allows you to blend layers, change their
opacity, create clipping masks or even add layer masks to hide some
portions of layer.

If your image editing experience so far has been defined by PhotoShop,
we guarantee you will be blown away by Pixelmator's speed and
beautiful UI.



I hope this is useful to some other peeps.

James
