MacHeist – Software for charity!
I found out about this site on the NAPP Forums from Bryan Sproles called MacHeist and it is apprently their second year of doing this. Their mission is to raise money for charity and as of this writing they have raised over $190,000 with an amazing 17,000+ bundles of software packages sold. So the deal is; you buy the software bundle containing the apps for $50 and certain per cent of that goes to charity. It’s a fixed bundle containing the following apps; 1Password, CoverSutra, Cha-Ching, iStopMotion, Awaken, Speed Download, AppZapper, TaskPaper, CSSEdit, Snapz Pro X, Pixelmator and right now they’ve also thrown in an extra game called Wingnuts 2 and the Tiki Wiki Minigolf. That’s some seriously cool apps for only $50 where the retail price of them together would be over $400! So even if you are just interested in like Snapz Pro or Pixelmator, then you’ve saved some money when you buy it for $50, plus you get more apps and you donate to charity.
Myself, I just got the package today since it is a good deal and I’ll actually use a lot of the programs (and mostly the ones prized higher than $50 anyway, like Snapz Pro) and I also donated to charity.
