MacHeist Giveaway: 5 (Maybe 6) Mac Applications for Free

Friday November 6, 2009

MacHeist, well-known for bundling 12 applications and selling them at a very low price, is offering a new 6-application bundle it calls the nanoBundle. The nanoBundle includes the following:

  • ShoveBox
  • WriteRoom
  • Twitterrific
  • TinyGrab
  • Hordes of Orcs
  • Mariner Write

All of the items in the nanoBundle are being offered for free for a limited time. The sixth application, Mariner Write, is being offered free with a provision. License codes for Mariner Write will only be distributed if 500,000 people participate. At the time of this writing, only 99,539 people have downloaded the nanoBundle. There are only 6 days left before the nanoBundle is no more.

Of course, MacHeist is probably attempting to build its user base so it can attract more developers to its unusual method of marketing. You must register to download the bundle, but registration is pretty basic: just your name and email address. So I say go for it, and enjoy 5 free applications, and with enough participants, maybe 6 applications.
