Macheist has launched their latest application bundle. The 12 application bundle is somewhat of a "best of" bundle incorporating many applications featured in previous bundles. The bundle will be boxed and sold at retail stores over the next year, but for a limited time is available online.

The bundle is now available and the Mac OS X applications (valued at $286.55 separately) include:

Awaken - alarm clock and sleep timer, works with iTunes
Cha-Ching - money management software
CoverSutra - iTunes controller
DEVONthink Personal - database for all your digital files
iClip - multiple clipboard & scrapbook
Overflow - application and document launcher
Wallet - store and organize your passwords, serial numbers, credit cards and more
Writeroom - full-screen writing environment
XSlimmer - shrink the size of applications
Enigmo, Bugdom 2, Nanosaur 2 - games from Pangea

Total cost is $49 for all 12 applications. MacRumors is a promotional partner for MacHeist and sales through these links support MacRumors financially.

it would be cool if Apple added full screen support on Text Edit, as that's all WriteRoom really is... full screen option for $24? no thanks...

That's the nice thing about a bundle, you can hate a couple of the apps but it may still be worthwhile for you.

Awaken. Cha-ching and Coversutra where in the last MacHeist (along with 1passwd which overlaps wallet). iClip, DEVONthink and Enigmo were in the previous one. If you got the last 2 heists, this one is more of the same.

I really like iClip alot. Its worth the standalone price. Coversutra is like Delicious Library (which was in the same heist as Enigmo), fun for a while but useless, really.

You need Windows. Everything on Windows is full screen and to tell you the truth I love that 95% of the time.
 
Sounds like a desperate move to compete with the coming MacUpdate bundle, which will have stuff like Parallels and other apps...

No new developers wanting to join the party maybe? Good apps, but reruns.

I agree, I’ve already bought these apps in other bundles long ago. MacHeist should know better, this bundle is: old, rehashed, and stale. You would figure they’d be smart enough to not repeat applications from there own or “other” bundles.

it's a nice app, for sure... it just seems like it could be a free app based on how text-book simple the development for it is. i agree the bundle is a good idea...

Full screen has always made me feel computer claustrophobic. I get so aggravated when I can't have my buddy list, powerpoint, and mail all open at the same time and still be able to see my desktop.
 
Time to make good on the exchange rate - £25 for that isn't bad.

If you want full-screen text editing, use CTRL+scroll

What is this MacUpdate bundle? When is it announced?
 
Where are all the good Apps???

Besides Cha-Ching and iClip... there's nothing here really.

The price is nice if you want an app or two though.

p.s. I am waiting for the one that has Tech Tool Pro... I missed that one in the last heist and am still kicking myself.
 
Doesn't hit the spot with me based on descriptions, will take a look though.
 
It's not very attractive for people who have participated in the MacHeist bundles before. But it's good for people who missed out on them.
 
I already have several of these apps from the last Heist, and the others don't look all that interesting....would be a good choice for people who have missed the past couple of Heists though....Xslimmer, Awaken, and Cha-Ching are worth having.

I thought I read that TextExpander was going to be in there. Did I imagine that?

That probably would have made it worthwhile to me.
 
I wouldn't call them all "apps" -- there a few apps and the rest are utilities.
