Last Tuesday MacHeist announced the composition and price of their annual bundle: if you’re new to this or forget, MacHeist for the last three years (ie MacHeist III) has done a set of missions to let mac users live out their secret spy fantasies, and every year so far after the third and final mission has sold a bundle for $49 USD with many great mac apps (sorry PC users, guess you’ll have to switch) totaling well over the $49 price tag (last year the apps separate would have cost ~$700 I think)… well this year, MacHeist is back with their bundle for a limited time and with a new price point of $39! This years bundle includes:
As you can see, the bundle includes
- iSale-an app which easily allows you to make eBay pages.
- Picturesque-an app which makes your photos (more) beautiful, easily.
- SousChef-an amzing recipe collection, organizer, and provider with a built-in full-screen mode so you don’t get flower between the keys.
- World of Goo-is an amzing game. You have to build shapes to complete a seemingly simple mission… using (sometimes) rare species of goo!
- PhoneView-the ultimate iPhone/iPod Touch companion. This app allows you to get the SMS messages off your iPhone and to use all the extra space as storage.
- Acorn-”The Image Editor for Humans”: this seems similar to PixelMator, but a lot easier to use.
- Kinemac-this is the king of this years app at $300! This allows you to make easy 3D animations… see some of my recent posts to see samples.
- WireTap Studio-this recently unlocked app allows you to record multiple tracks into and from your computer. How often do you want to capture a sound from Skype or another app? Wiretap is the best for the job.
- BoinxTV–This application turns your (more modern) mac into a TV production studio.
- CRO-MAG Rally–This game is from Pangea (the creators of such games as Bugdom and Otto-Matic for Mac and Enigmo for iPhone), a great and fun racing game.
- Times–This is an uber-elegant news reader for Mac OS X (10.5 or later) that also gives you direct access to social networking services.
- Multiwinia–This game by the Mac-software genius Ambrosia looks fun ang great!
- Delicious Library 2–this app catalogs your DVDs, games, and just about anything else by using your built-in iSight camera to capture the barcode. Winner of an Apple Design Award.
And if there are enough sales ($500k raised for charity, at 25% of each bundle given to charity) every MacHeist purchaser gets:
- The Hit List–this GTD app, however new seems to take on the rest of the great mac apps like TaskPaper or iGTD… and it’s not even 1.0 yet.
- Espresso–this seems very similar to Coda by Panic, but is by the people who made CSSEdit (from last year’s bundle… which I l-o-v-e), it’s an all-in-one internet development app–from HTML, CSS, to CSS, and then post it to your site.
