Mac Software Bundles: MacUpdate and Indie Mac Gift Pack
This week two Mac software bundles have launched. These bundles combine a number of Mac apps together into a discounted package.
The first comes from MacUpdate which we've partnered with a number of times over the past few years. The bundle includes the following apps for $49.99 ($534 value).
1Password - Password Manager
MacFamilyTree - Geneology app
DEVONthink - Organization software
Flux - XHTML and CSS web design
Default Folder X - Enhances open/save dialogs
Art Text + Fonts - Create high quality logos, headings, banners.
Swift Publisher - Make cards, certificates, letterheads, and more
Chronories - Diary app
Interarchy - FTP/SFTP client
Typinator - Auto-completes text as you type
1Password in particular is a highly recommended app that allows you to secure your online passwords. In light of the recent hacking of Gawker media it seems particularly relevant. The bundle can be purchased at MUPromo.com, and MacRumors is a promotional partner and benefits financially from referred sales.
Meanwhile, several independent developers have banded together to create the Indie Mac Gift Pack. This is a 6-app bundle that is being sold directly by the developers themselves. The apps include the following for $60 ($272 value)
Delicious Library 2 - track your collections
Acorn 2 - Image editor
MarsEdit 3 - Write, preview, publish your blog
Radioshift - Listen and record radio stations
SousChef - Search over 195,000 recipes
Sound Studio 4 - Record, edit and produce audio
The apps can be purchased at IndieMacGiftPack.com, and MacRumors has no financial association with this site.

I am considering the first bundle because there are some things on there that I really would like. BUT I really need the new version of Delicious Library (I have the pervious version but it doesn't play too nicely with SnowLeopard).
I have 1Password already; if someone buys the second bundle and doesn't want Delicious Library, I'll trade the code with you. :D

From the screencast, Default Folder X looks very handy. It's been around for years but I've never tried it.
I read license agreements so I can follow them, but I can't tell from their license description whether Default Folder X is licensed by the person or by the computer. They have volume discounts but I can't tell what a single license permits. I guess I'll have to ask!

I think the indie bundle is great, and was already going to buy Acorn (because it works decently with Aperture) and the wife will be happy about delicious library and sous chef.
The other bundle is a meh for me because 1password and interarchy are already mine and the rest strikes me as mostly shovelware (except maybe DEVONthink but I use OmniFocus and Evernote already)

I wish MR would take away the rating system for the front page news. There are currently 6 posts, all with positive posts about the article, yet there are only 4 positives but 7 negatives. :rolleyes:

I hope the Mac app store doesn't snuff out bundles like these that come around every now and then. I really look forward to them.

Im not sure if MacUpdate allows splitting bundles? If so, I really need 1Password but not much else....
anyone buying the Macupdate bundle that already has 1Password? Let me know!

I fell asleep at Flux. Kind of a poor bundle relative to past efforts.
Basically, its like you are getting some extra junk in case you wanted 1Password.

Acorn 2 and Sous Chef are both poor imo
