Apple's App Store promo sales often last from Thursday to Thursday, so these discounts should be available for the next six days.
In a separate sale, password management app 1Password for Mac is available from the Mac App Store at a 50 percent off discount, dropping the price to $24.99. This is the lowest price AgileBits has offered for several months, and at $24.99, 1Password is well worth picking up. The iOS app is a free download.

(View all)Bah.
Apple increases app price: Everyone outrages.
:rolleyes:
I also grabbed Duet as that something I might actually end up using. Things is also a awesome tool, better than things like Wunderlist in many regards but it's ridiculously overpriced for what it is, especially when you can grab Wunderlist for free, have everything synchronized between devices and it offers client for iOS, Mac and Windows and you won't need to pay for the app on any of the platforms.
I do normally pay for superior products but the advantages Things offer compared to Wunderlist gets completely butchered by their horrendous price model.'
EDIT:
Forgot to mention 1Password. I already use the services so I'm all covered but it's the best password manager available after LastPass got purchased by LogMeIn. Their Windows application could use a better UX-design but that's pretty much all the negative I can say about 1Password.
But the article talked about using 1password as a 1stop storage list of all your important info. I started keeping bank account numbers, insurance policies, ect.....in a secure note.
If I need the info it's right at my finger tips, if my phone is stolen I know it's locked and encrypted.
I still use keychain for website and wireless passwords, but use 1pasword as a synched digital wallet.
Just wish there was a way to kind of hide it so it's not so obvious on the phone.
