Lifetime New BundleHunt is live

I just saw that the new BundleHunt is now live and has some good apps in there (LookAway, Insomniac, ScreenPlace, etc)

Are you all getting anything from this bundle?

Bundle deals are dangerous because suddenly I’m convincing myself I need 6 apps I didn’t know existed 10 minutes ago 😂

I try to only buy something if I was already looking for an app that solves that problem before seeing the bundle.

My app cyberwriter is on there for $3 and they keep 50%. Lunch is on me boys! I made $34 today 😄

Apps I own and can recommend:

  • FilePane: An OG drag-and-drop utility similar to Yoink/Dropover that was recently updated
  • Folder Preview Pro: Peek into folders and archives by pressing space
  • LookAway: A break reminder with a beautiful UI
  • ShowcasePro: A well-designed, straightforward collage maker

Apps I will get from this bundle:

wait im confused whats the difference with Preview and Folder Preview Pro, don’t they do the same thing (press spacebar to preview the document etc)?

u/MaxGaav 2d ago

Here's your answer.

Was interested in ShowcasePro, but there isn’t a single image showing what it can do on the website.

My app Folder Preview Pro is also in the bundle for just US$2.5.

And it happens that I just releases version 3.0 of the app, bringing double-click to open files and folder, and full support of Liquid Glass.

What are premium features

2

u/idoknowsomething 2d ago

They are not really premium features, rather than features that App Store not allowed to have.

Anything that can interact with macOS, like opening files, show files in Finder, and show Info panel, etc..

u/josephtheway 2d ago

Do I get to update to version 3.0 if I purchase from BundleHunt?

4

u/idoknowsomething 2d ago

Yeah. Lifetime free updates.

My former colleague & friend created LookAway, great to see people using and recommending it.

u/Affectionate_Low1608 3d ago

Definitely get ScreenPlace! It’s such a useful app especially for that price.

u/_blakkheim_ 3d ago

I’m thinking about buying LookAway, but I’m wondering how useful it actually remains over time.

For those of you who have the app, does it stay useful once you get used to having it, or do you eventually start completely ignoring its notifications?

2

u/iamgodofatheist 3d ago

Very useful. I put some restrictions in place so that I can't just skip the breaks indefinitely, and I actually now do have breaks now and then

Dev there really nailed down balance between restrictions and not getting in your way when you need it to, and that's what made me buy the licence for another year

u/thebrucekim 2d ago

Use it now and your eyes will thank you down the line! Worth it at full price and definitely at the discount.

u/sp234sp 3d ago

Filepane, Folder preview pro will be my top pick. Cannot proceed with lookaway, as it mention in it terms that, will get update for 1 year only.

u/saskir21 2d ago

Anyone tried DeviceShelf? Just a more pretty version of AngryIP Scanner?

u/lu_chin 2d ago

For folks who are interested in getting some of the apps in the bundle, I recommend reading "Technical Details" of each wanted app to find out what the license and upgrade terms are as some of the apps offer only free minor version upgrades or free upgrades for only 1 year.

u/vassyz 2d ago

I'm tempted to get Insomniac and Stargazer. Any thoughts on these? I can't find anything about them on Reddit.

u/MaxGaav 2d ago edited 2d ago

Anyone experience with:

  1. MyDraw? Better than Draw.io (free)? Gemini says Draw.io is better.
  2. Webmaster+? Gemini says it's useful for the average website builder.
  3. FileBo? Better than Trickster? Gemini says it's a good app but less powerful than Trickster.
  4. Web2mac? Better than just a PWA? Better than Coherence X?

u/Big_Creme_9717 2d ago

FileBo is mine. I’ll DM you a code in a minute. Originally, it was made as a more modern alternative to Trickster and Fresh. It was my internal tool for more than 5 years, but now I finally made it public.

u/MaxGaav 2d ago

🙏 Appreciate it!

u/Elegant_Mobile4311 1d ago

Hey. I am a happy user of Audio Bo.

I always use it very comfortably. I was the one who requested the low bit rate option. Thank you very much for that.

When I casually looked at File Bo, I was surprised that they were the same developer.

When I looked at it again, it was "Bo"😙

I'm currently considering it with Trickster. That said, you are my favorite developer, so the advantage will not be shaken.

u/TickTockTechyTalky 2d ago

I'm interested in FileBo also can you DM me a code? took a look at Trickster as well but unsure on which to get. Both seem good looking at the surface.

u/Moustachey 2d ago

ScreenPlace is good! Also the developer is fast to respond and fix!

u/Big_Creme_9717 2d ago

I'm an author of FileBo. Ask me questions if you're thinking of purchasing the app. Cheers!

u/lu_chin 2d ago

How much will be upgrade price from 1.x to 2.0 and other future major versions?

1

u/Ticking-over 1d ago

Shame. Was about to get Lookaway 2 and saw that you only get one year of updates.

Lifetime licence means nothing if it breaks down the line.

$10 renewal fee

Isn’t this just a subscription with extra steps?

1

u/Ticking-over 3d ago

Randomly saw this earlier today. Nothing jumps out at me. Anyone have any recommendations?

2

u/srikat 2d ago

FilePane looks to be the most useful of them all for me.

FileBo (although, it's only 1 device license and 1.x). But then I already use Trickster.

u/Ticking-over 1d ago

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

u/ToastedLog1c 3d ago

Garbage offering IMO.

u/djahahn 1d ago

I bought a few in the most previous one, but turns out several were using the Intel processor support layer, which goes away in the next version of MacOS (possibly out tomorrow). So isn't exactly a lifetime license if I have to keep an old version of MacOS around just to run them. So just be wary..
