We’ve given away some AppSumo bundles as of late that include everything from productive power plants to apps that allow you to just sit down and relax. What if we combined all of those previous bundles, and added must-have utilities like Skitch, Yummy FTP, and IconBox2? The MEGA Mac Sumo Bundle might initially sound like a character out of Mega Man, but it’s really just the latest bundle we’re giving away to another five lucky readers.
For the next six days, AppSumo is selling a $47 dollar bundle (valued at $286) that’s worth its weight in unicorn status white iPhone 4s. It’s the fourth bundle offered in a month of OS X, and we’re lucky enough to be giving away five of them to some lucky readers.
The Bundle:
We’ve covered much of the apps in this bundle via our first three bundles, but we’ll give a quick rundown of what’s available since you’re all just so darn awesome.
MacJournal - $39: MacJournal is a great diary/blog/note recorder for the Mac. Whether you’re looking to store a crap load of audio and text notes, or you simply want a personal safe to keep your private notes in, MacJournal is customizable and features companion iPad & iPhone apps.
Skitch - $15: It’s available for free, but what if you had access to their premium edition? Skitch is prefect for quickly taking screenshots, annotation, and sharing files with friends on Skitch’s personal network.
TaskPaper - $30: TaskPaper is a distraction free task manager that works exclusively in text: create projects and todos all in a singular interface designed with a focus on information, and not folders.
Machinarium - $20: A robot is tossed into a mechanical wasteland, and a mystery awaits! The captivating story and brain teasing gameplay is perfect for all ages.
Vitamin-R - $19: Vitamin-R is like a productive steroid for your Mac: lock down unnecessary applications, get work done, and record your results to improve your workflow and get things done.
SpeedDownload - $25: Imagine a download manager that organized apps, connects to Rapidshare, and manages bandwidth in a tidy interface? Speed Download has everything from FTP to throttling included for managing downloads, and keeping a history of acquired files.
Cinch - $7: Bring the Windows 7 Snap to OS X.
Wondershare Video Converter Pro - $49: Videos don’t deserve to stay on DVDs: clean up your collection and convert them to formats appropriate for the iPhone and iPad.
GadgetTrak - $20: Lost your MacBook? With GadgetTrack, locate and reclaim your precious laptop thanks to its built in tracking features.
IconBox 2 - $24: It’s an icon library with built in search tools so you can skin and customize just about anything. With apps as the focus, you’ll love the management capabilities as well being able to find new icons all in the same place.
Yummy FTP - $28: The KING of FTP for the Mac, Yummy FTP is powerful and fast, and has long been recognized as the OS X standard for transferring files across the InterTubes.
Senuti - $18: Reclaim all of your old tunes from both hard drive and iPod, and get them into iTunes before you lose your music forever.
Arrange - $7: Managing windows is a pain in the butt: Arrange allows you to quickly relocate a set of desktop windows so you can immediately focus on the activities at hand rather than
Breeze - $8: Once you’ve positioned your windows, don’t you wish your Mac could remember where they went? If Arrange is the setup, Breeze is the save button.
BONUS! Alfred Power Pack - $20 (upon referred purchase): Give Alfred a boost! Free in the App Store, the paid addition adds features such as a built in clipboard, an iTunes miniplayer, and further integration with the OS X Finder.
