What would you pay for this bundle?
FWIW: you should know that MacHeist is 100% legal, the developers are NOT getting swindled out of sales; MacHeist is a marketing promotion organization.
Response: GTDAgenda.com online GTD webservice
Apr 11th
In response to a comment from my blog post on the MacHeist bundle, ‘Dan’ wrote me about a service, GTDAgenda.com, which seems interesting. IF you are accustomed to a GTD (Getting Things Done) already, this may not be for you. This looks like an interesting organization web service, however I cannot vouch for it 100% as I have note read a lot about it.

MacHeist Bundle: ~$1,000 worth of software for $39
Mar 27th
On Tuesday this week MacHeist announced the composition and price of their 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-NOT UNLOCKED–this soon to be unlocked app turns your (more modern) mac into a TV production studio. This app will be unlocked to all purchasers (past, present, and future) at the 33,000 bundles sold-mark. I can’t wait.
- The Hit List-NOT UNLOCKED–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–NOT UNLOCKED–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.
**The last 3 items on the list are not yet unlocked–apps become unlocked when a certain amount of bundles have sold. The last 2 apps will be unlocked together.
If you are interested in this bundle, please click use my referrer link here.
(Referrer links allow users to unlocked apps by spreading the word, and if someone clicks your link I get another app for free, I encourage you to do the same.)
Kinemac: TWiT Animation
Mar 26th
This is a quick animation I made in Kinemac from the MacHeist bundle this year. I experimented with 3D camera controls against 2D objects.
