Giving away two Macheist nanoBundles

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010

Macheist is an event that allows you to participate in challenges ("heists") that offer "free" software and/or discounts to software, as well as selling a bundle of software at the end. This year Holdfire is giving you the chance to win a nanoBundle (with $250 worth of software!) for free.

What do you win?

Two winners will receive one Macheist nanoBundle which includes the following software:

Software currently unlocked in the bundle

MacJournal
Totally revamped and rebuilt for Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard, MacJournal organizes all your important information and helps chronicle your life faster and easier than ever before. Create a personal journal with MacJournal's simple-to-use interface with two-level security.

RipIt
Movies stored safely in your computer can't get lost, scratched or broken. Use your Mac's built in search tool, Spotlight, to find a movie in your collection... instantly. Moving files around on your computer is a lot easier than alphabetizing shelves full of DVDs.

Clips
Clips is your Mac OS X clipboard reinvented. Use Clips to increase productivity during your daily computing experience. When Clips is running you won't even notice it. Try Clips today and finally see clipboard and snippet management, the Mac way.

CoverScout
Color the gray gaps in your iTunes library: CoverScout 3 helps you find missing cover art in your iTunes library with style. It's never been easier to complete your music collection: simply search, apply, edit and print. CoverScout has been optimized for Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard

Flow
On the Mac, you've become accustomed to software that's not just powerful, but elegant too. Armed with the belief that file-transfer should be no exception, we made Flow. Flow brings the best of the Mac to your server's files and folders. Flow makes working remotely every bit as intuitive and natural as working locally.

Software currently locked in the bundle

Tales of Monkey Island
Telltale's latest episodic series is Tales of Monkey Island, a five-episode saga featuring mighty pirate Guybrush Threepwood and his motley crew. Tales of Monkey Island pulls the legendary franchise thundering and plundering into the modern era with an epic storyline conceived by some of the same team that dreamed up the original games.

Rapidweaver
With powerful tools under the hood, yet a beautifully-familiar user interface built especially for Mac OS X Leopard, RapidWeaver is ideal for anyone looking to create a beautiful website. RapidWeaver has all the tools you need to quickly create pages you'll be proud of.

Don’t lose track of your eye-candy!

People have different ways of saving websites that are in one way or another, inspiring to them. Some will bookmark, some will save a current image of what the site looks like, and others will regret never bookmarking that site when it comes to mind a few months later.

websnaps RealMac Software has come up with a solution to your unorganized image woes. LittleSnapper (Mac only) allows you to snap a certain section you need, or snap an entire webpage that you are currently viewing. You don't even need to leave your browser--you can do it all using the commands available to you through it. You also have the ability to tag your images. So you remember all those logos you saved? Now you won't have to worry about sifting through your lolcats to find your logo snaps.

You also have the ability to add text, lines, shapes, highlighting and more to your images. Don't fret about having all that markup on it, LittleSnapper allows you to hide it easily, as it's markup additions are non-destructive.

Not a Mac user? You have some alternatives you can try out although nothing to the extent of LittleSnapper (that we've been able to find.) There are few options that give you the capability that LittleSnapper can. Some will perform a few of the actions, where others won't. Our closest alternative to Windows can be done a couple of different ways.

If you're looking for an easy way to save the current page you're viewing and you're using Firefox you can take advantage of an add-on that's available for it. Abduction! allows you to take a screenshot of the page you're viewing--whether you want a portion or 100% height/width of it, you can chose. From there you can either save it to your desktop in organized folders, or you can take advantage of some webapps.

Scrnshots.com allows you to add screenshots you take to your profile and tag them. Not only that but it gives other members the chance to comment on them, or even add them to their own favorites list. They also provide an upload utility that gives you the ability to upload your images without having to go to their website; The only downfall is that it's currently not a batch-uploader. So if you've got hundreds (or maybe thousands) of images, it might not be the quickest for you. Flickr can also be used as you can create sets, and tag your images too.

Do you think you have a Windows alternative to LittleSnapper? Let us know by leaving a comment!
