Mac Heist is offering a Nano Bundle, which includes Shove Box, WriteRoom, Twitterrific, TinyGrab, Hordes of Orcs, and Mariner Write (locked at the moment, 500,000 downloads need to unlock it) for FREE for a limited time. Deal expires November 11, 2009.
The Apps:
- Shove Box catches all those little scraps of information that you can’t act on now but would rather not forget. It sits up in your menubar, waiting for you to drag in text, images, URLs, and more. It also provides a sensible interface to sort everything you shoved. It’s all about spending less time processing and more time actually working on the things that matter.
- WriteRoom is a distraction free writing environment. Unlike the cluttered word processors you’re used to, WriteRoom lets you focus on writing.
- Twitterrific is a fun application that lets you both read and publish posts or “tweets” to the Twitter community website. The application’s user interface is clean, concise and designed to take up a minimum of real estate on your Mac’s desktop.
- Tiny Grab is a simple yet extremely powerful utility for Mac OS X and Windows. Harnessing the power of pre-existing and new OS screenshot taking capabilities, TinyGrab instantly uploads and allows you to share with a small URL— all in under thirty-seconds.
- Hordes of Orcs is a “Tower Defense” game in which you must build walls and lethal towers to defend your village from the Orcs emerging from, what the village elders call, “The Glowing Portal of Really Bad Things That We Should Have Bricked-Up a Long Time Ago.” Sadly, the Portal is un-bricked and the Orcs are very, very hungry. If 20 Orcs make it to your village, you’re toast.
- Mariner Write is is a powerful, yet streamlined word processor for Mac OS X. Boasting an elegant interface, as well as hundreds of intuitive features such as the ability to read Microsoft Word documents and produce customizable headers, footers, endnotes, and footnotes, Mariner Write has everything you need to turn out great-looking documents. Whether you’re a professional writer, educator, student, or an average user, Mariner Write has the functionality to be your go-to writing tool.
