As longtime Mac Gems readers know, I rarely cover bundles or promotions—only when a particular sale offers readers a great deal on a number of great Mac apps.
That’s the case with the current ProductiveMacs bundle, which includes seven quality apps—five of them past Mac Gems, with another also earning a high Macworld rating—for just $30. Here’s what three Hamiltons will get you:
Default Folder X by St. Clair Software (; normally $35): We haven’t reviewed Default Folder in several versions—we should remedy that—but earlier this year I explained why it’s one of the apps I can’t live without. I’ll just quote myself from that article, and then let you read the rest of the article for the details: “Once you’ve used Default Folder X for a while, OS X’s stock file-navigation dialogs feel crippled and half-baked.”
Keyboard Maestro by Stairways (; normally $36): If you’ve ever thought “I wish there was a way to automate this process,” no matter how basic or complex that process might be, Keyboard Maestro is worth a look. This utility lets you string together series of actions into macros, and then call on those macros at any time with a click or keypress. The latest version significantly fleshes out the app’s capabilities, making it even more powerful, but also easier to use.
