MacHeist’s nanoBundle 2 offers seven great OS X apps for $20

Although I generally find a reason to pick them up anyway, I was particularly enamored with MacHeist’s last nanoBundle, which offered some really fantastic Mac apps (including my all-time favorite, distraction-free text editor, WriteRoom) for, well, nothing.

Unfortunately, it’s hard to beat free, which makes MacHeist’s sequel to the nanoBundle a little harder to recommend: it costs $20. Still, complaining about a few fins is just greedy when you’re looking at this amount of cheap quality software, including MacJournal, RipIt, Clips, CoverScout and Flow.

As usual, there’s further incentive to buy: once 50,000 people purchase the bundle, Tales of Monkey Island will be unlocked, with Rapidweaver to be unlocked at an unspecified point thereafter. I don’t believe MacHeist has ever failed to unlock every title in their bundles, regardless of sales, so you can probably consider it a sure-thing that you’ll get these two titles as well.

These are some great apps, each one of which normally costs more than the $20 asking price of the bundle. Even if you’re only interested in one or two of these titles, this is an impulse buy you can feel good about.

    another really good app thats sort of part of the bundle is songgenie, which comes with coverscout.

    it finds any missing info for songs in your itunes library and fills in the blanks. unfortunately its another $12

    I’m going to buy it, but its too bad that RapidWeaver, the app I want most of all, I will be getting last. Though after 2 days and 30,000 copies already, there should be no problem reaching whatever goal they set. And like you said, they have never failed to unlock them all regardless of if they hit the goal.

    One of my favourite bundles so far. Monkey Island is the kicker for me.
