App Store Deals — 26/01/2016 — Last Day of ‘Get Productive’

January 26, 2016 · 11:29

If my calculations are correct¹, today is the last day that you can get the apps from Apple’s ‘Get Productive’ offer for 50% off. I also added a few more recent discounts to the list below.

I use many of the apps listed personally. I cannot imagine life without 1Password for example. I recently purchased Affinity Designer and actually found it to be better for my needs than Adobe Illustrator. Copied is a wonderful Mac and iOS combo to keep your clipboard organised. I’ll soon be incorporating Drafts into one of my workflows — it’s a great app on its own too. PCalc… well, there are calculator’s, and there’s PCalc — I interviewed James Thomson, the person behind it, a while back. Anyway… you should find something great below — most of it is really high quality work.

They aren’t — you have two full days and a bit to make your purchase. ↩

App Store Deals — 20/01/2016 — Lots of Amazing Apps

January 20, 2016 · 08:51

Today’s App Store Deals is amazing — many of my favourite tools are discounted. I usually suggest paying the full price for software, especially if it’s from small software houses or indie devs, since this will help them update the apps in the future and release new versions. But if money is an issue then this is your chance to get some great software for half the price.

Cheers!

Probably the best password manager; can’t live without it. ↩
A nice alternative to Adobe’s offerings. Bought it recently and I don’t regret it one bit. ↩
Use your iPad as a tablet for your Mac. Supports iPad Pro and Pencil. ↩
Started using Copied recently, since my other manager stopped working. Great app, worth every cent. Syncs over iCloud. Not on sale — included in the list because it’s a great companion to the Mac version. ↩
A great add-on to the iOS version. Syncs over iCloud. ↩
Love it. ↩
I use this for all my tracking needs. ↩
One of the great ones. ↩
A great alternative to Ulysses. ↩
A great alternative to Ulysses. Didn’t I say that already? ↩
James isn’t bragging — it really is a great calculator. ↩
Still great. ↩
I use this to connect to my Mac from my iOS devices. Works perfectly. ↩

Some people I know swear by this app. ↩

Great app, especially useful on the iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil. ↩

App Store Deals — 19/12/2015

December 19, 2015 · 22:08

A few good apps are discounted today. If you’re looking for a great minimalistic writing app with Markdown support, then you should take a look at Ulysses. It’s currently my go-to software for writing, on both iOS and Mac. Please note that the app is now iPad only and that the next update will add iPhone support for free. The Mac version [App Store] will not go on sale this year, so don’t wait if you need it now.

Update (22:18): Added both Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale to the list.
