New MacHeist nanoBundle Features 8 Mac Apps for $9.99

StackSocial also running a solid bundle today

Pay What You Want for 10 top Mac Apps worth $399 - https://stacksocial.com/sales/the-name-your-own-price-mac-bundle-2-0

You can name your own price for 10 different Mac apps, including Crossover and Gemini, and part of the proceeds go to charity.

The bundle includes:

DiskTools Pro: a hard drive utility for backup, repair, and more.
CrossOver 12: Software that allows you to run Windows apps on your Mac without a copy of Windows.
Snapz Pro X: A screen recorder.
Paperless: A digital storage box for all your scanned documents.
Mac Blu-Ray Player: A Blu-Ray player.
Gemini: A fast search engine for duplicate files.
Musictube: A music player that turns YouTube into a big jukebox.
HoudahSpot: A fast search engine for files.
Elmedia Player Pro: A video player for Flash files so you can download and play them locally.
PhotoBulk: A bulk resizer, optimizer, and watermarker for photos.
 
Heads up, for those interested in xScope Mirror functionality, it is written in several places including inside the xScope app that the companion app "xScope Mirror" for iPhone and iPad is supposed to be free, but it's showing up as $1.99 in the app store for me.

Looks like they increased the price from free to 1.99 on Apr 14, 2013, just in time for this macheist bundle.

Despite what you may read, the XScope Mirror app is not free! :mad:

I grabbed that one this morning, paid a little extra for the charity. Most apps I really could use, couple not so much. I already own a few from the nanoBundle so passing on that one.
 
Can someone confirm if we actually get serials or not? I feel like we're getting fooled out of our money, especially when these are apps worth $260 and are pretty much the really popular ones.

Alo, don't use CleanMyMac 2. At least for now. I actually updated the other day (it was a free upgrade if you got it in the last few months I think?), and before I clicked the okay for it to cleanup, I noticed it was about to delete my entire Documents folder! :eek:

I've never seen them NOT reach the quota needed to unlock. I've purchased many of the apps from MacHeist, and never once have they not unlocked. Thus I just purchased this

Yes exactly. The "unlockable" apps in these kinds of bundles will always be unlocked because the deals have already been done with the app authors. It's just a gimmick.

In fact in the last bundle these guys did, the targets actually weren't being met. You could literally see them not being met and yet still unlocking.

Looks like there's a further 2 apps that will be added to the bundle also, behind those additional windows. That's another thing they normally do, add some extra unannounced apps.

Stupid marketing. Now people have an incentive to hold off with their purchase and wait for the extra apps to be unlocked.

This makes no sense.

I agree. I wanted to spring for fantastical last week, but was holding off for another discount. As it is, it is the only app in the bundle that I really care about, but the initial asking price was just too much.

Now, fantastical has to share their profits with the other companies. They should just focus on pricing their products fairly and forget about gimmicky promotions like this.
 
Can someone tell me how I can get these programs on my laptop? I downloaded them on my iMac, but when I try to get them on the laptop through iTunes, it's trying to charge me.

You don't go through the appstore.. go to MacHeist.com, buy and download from there.

AppStore has nothing to do with the bundle - and wouldn't be possible anyway.

Pretty good bundle, I have most of the apps but if I didn't I'd definitely be buying.

I've already bought the apps, and downloaded them on my iMac. Do I have to purchase them again if I want them on my Macbook Pro?
 
Don't be skeptical!

I bought the MacHeist 4 bundle several months ago, playing the games so I got a discount (there's no game on this bundle, but if you buy this you'll hear about the larger bundle).

Like the other bundle, these are lesser known programs, that I believe the authors include to get some exposure. Not all are stellar, but at least 4 of the programs are in the Mac App Store, and you can read their reviews and see that they really do sell for that price. Normally the bundle is worth it for just one or two of the programs.

With the MacHeist 4 bundle, I actually got the program Netshade for FREE just for playing a game, which sells for $29.95. Most people might not find that program useful, but living in Italy, I can watch Hulu and Netflix, which normally are blocked to people outside of the US. This program alone was worth the bundle, even though it was free. I also got a 15 months of Evernote Premium, Firetask, Printopia, DiskTools Pro, and Scrivner, to name just some of the programs.
 
Reading about some of these apps makes me wonder who in their right minds would buy them at the outrageous prices charged in the app store?

Take clarify for instance. In essence, it is a screenshot tool with some annotation functions. I can already do similar things (albeit more crudely) with existing apps like jing, skitch, and even OSX's inbuilt preview feature.:confused:

Purchased!!

At less than 10 of your American dollars it's worth it just for CleanMyMac2 alone :)

I've used both Fantastical and CleanMyMac at one point and both were great. Not sure about the other apps. Seems like a decent package though with just those 2 apps.

Same here. I almost bought CleanMyMac 2 yesterday but held off until it went on sale somewhere so this is great news for me and an instant buy.

I'm not sure CMM2 is worth it; I've never found it necessary. I'm sure GGJstudios will weigh in...

No not him, me, to the above posters, don't use CleanMyMac-MacKeeper or CCleaner, if you really need it when things are not well use Onyx, it is free and much better and safer than those.
Plenty of problems with all of them, just yesterday another one, many times people have problems and when asked they use either of them.
See below.

I would not recommend CleanMyMac or its variants, based on the number of complaints that have been posted in this forum and elsewhere. As an example: CleanMyMac cleaned too much. Here's a recent example. While you may not have experienced problems yet, enough people have that it's wise to avoid it, especially since there are free alternatives that have better reputations, such as Onyx.

You don't need "cleaner" or "maintenance" apps to keep your Mac running well, and some of these apps can do more harm than good. Most only remove files/folders or unused languages or architectures, which does nothing more than free up some drive space, with the risk of deleting something important in the process.

These apps will not make your Mac run faster or more efficiently, since having stuff stored on a drive does not impact performance, unless you're running out of drive space. In fact, deleting some caches can hurt performance, rather than help it, since more system resources are used and performance suffers while each cache is being rebuilt.

Many of these tasks should only be done selectively to troubleshoot specific problems, not en masse as routine maintenance.

Mac OS X does a good job of taking care of itself, without the need for 3rd party software. Among other things, it has its own maintenance scripts that run silently in the background on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, without user intervention.
