MacHeist nanoBundle Offers 6 Mac Apps For... Free

MacRumors · Nov 5, 2009, 09:25 PM

A few times a year, MacRumors partners with MacHeist to promote their Mac application bundle deal. Their app bundles typically deliver a dozen Mac applications at a significant discount. The latest bundle is a bit of a departure for MacHeist by delivering 6 Mac applications ($154 value) for Free.

- ShoveBox ($25) - easily capture important bits of information
- WriteRoom ($25) - a distraction free writing environment
- Twitterific ($15) - popular Twitter client
- TinyGrab ($14) - quickly share screenshots
- Hordes of Orcs ($25) - tower defense game
- Mariner Write* ($50) - fast, streamlined word processor

Mariner Write requires 500,000 total downloads to be "unlocked". This free bundle ends in 7 days and each application represents the full licenses. Enjoy.

Steven.nevets · Nov 5, 2009, 09:39 PM

because WriteRoom is in there I'd gladly pay for this, free is AMAZING!

plus this means the next heist is coming... but so are exams.

choices...

amusiccale · Nov 5, 2009, 09:40 PM

yes! what a nice surprise

QCassidy352 · Nov 5, 2009, 09:40 PM

hordes of orcs is a great tower defense game. I paid for it a year ago, and it was worth the money.

DUSTmurph · Nov 5, 2009, 09:42 PM

wish it was a little cheaper.....

Flowbee · Nov 5, 2009, 09:42 PM

Picked up the bundle for WriteRoom. Thought about buying it several times over the past few months, but couldn't quite justify it (I own Pages, Word, and Textmate already... in addition to the WriteRoom iPhone app). Many thanks to the dev for including it in this bundle.

What's the catch? Nothing is ever free. Does it come with a good helping of spam?

bsamcash · Nov 5, 2009, 09:50 PM

It's always enjoyable to attain software without paying legitimately.

I have never gotten spam from Macheist

Bill Gates · Nov 5, 2009, 09:53 PM

ShoveBox could prove to be very useful.

theimacguy · Nov 5, 2009, 09:53 PM

Oh MacHeist, rewarding us with free stuff. I love free.

fatfish · Nov 5, 2009, 09:56 PM

Anyone tell me why i would need these applications.

Most likely they will be releasing new versions of these soon so they give it to you in the hopes you will buy the new version.

speg · Nov 5, 2009, 10:02 PM

I'm pretty sure the "catch" is that all or most of these apps have iPhone apps. Giving away their OS X versions is great advertising for their iPhone apps.

Cromulent · Nov 5, 2009, 10:03 PM

Its worth it for Twitterific, WriteRoom and Mariner Write. The other ones could be useful I guess but I doubt I'll use them really.

Still, can't complain at this price
