MacHeist II

The MacHeist guys are at it again. This time there’s 14 applications in the bundle, but it’s not as obviously a great deal as last time. I succumb to the lure of lots of programs for only a little $$$ anyway though. Here’s the list of applications along with my comments:

  • 1Password – I use Keychain Access instead
  • AppZapper – surprisingly this one is useful since it cleans up Application prefs, etc.
  • Awaken – this will probably be my new travel alarm
  • ChaChing – if it handled stock portfolios this would be more useful
  • CoverSutra – not for me
  • CSSEdit – I almost bought this one before, so I think it’s worth it
  • iStopMotion – not for me
  • Pixelmator – I use Photoshop, but for others this is probably just right
  • Snapz Pro X – good if you write Mac software manuals, overkill for most people
  • Speed Download – Not what I thought it was, doesn’t sound that useful
  • Task Paper – I use iCal for this now.
  • Tiki Magic Mini Golf – Computer golf. Love it or hate it.
  • VectorDesigner – I’ll use it if they unlock it, otherwise I make do with OmniGraffle (which is really a replacement for Visio, not Illustrator)
  • Wingnuts 2 – If it’s as much like TimePilot as I hope, it’ll rock.

Check out the Heist yourself to see if any of this stuff meets your needs. Don’t forget to tell ’em Sandro sent you (my referral link):

UPDATE: VectorDesigner has been unlocked. I think that actually makes this a really good deal overall.
