Cult of Mac Deals - page 156

Each week, we get a boatload of gadgets and gear at great discounts. Of course there are always some deals that stand out, and this week is no exception — this round, we’ve got a seamless storage upgrade for your Macbook, a year’s access to one of the largest libraries of streaming content anywhere, an iPhone case that’ll also charge your device, and a lifetime of VPN protection, all at slashed prices. Take a gander:

Cupping your hand around the iPhone speaker just isn’t cutting it anymore. If you’re looking to get a groove from your mobile devices while keeping them mobile, your best bet is a portable Bluetooth speaker like the Double Spot by Soundfreaq. It’s slim, sounds great, goes anywhere, and right now you can get one for just $79.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Who even has a video library anymore? With streaming services offering any media you can imagine, there’s no reason to film up your house with what’s just a click away anyway. It’s easy to think that flagship services like Netflix and Hulu boast the biggest media-bearing clouds, but SelectTV offers both cable and web-based streaming backed up by the deepest media coffers around. And right now you can get a full year of access for just $19, or get three years for $49.

We enjoy our iPhones for different reasons — the many uses, the stylish design. One thing we all want though is to make sure our prized device is protected, which is why we’ve gathered this diverse collection of cases. From a tough case that doubles battery life, to a case that will adhere to nearly any surface, and a pair of stylish wallet/case combos, there’s something for any iPhone user. Take a look:

You’re not alone in your Pokémon Go habit. And let’s be honest, you’ve probably found yourself with a dead or dying battery on more than one occasion on a long-running hunt.

The PokeCharger is a portable 3,300mAh battery pack — styled like a Poké Ball — that can charge your phone back up at twice the speed of a wall charger. And right now you can get a PokeCharger for $39.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

No one needs to be told why they should protect their important data and accounts with a strong password. Most people — at least anyone who’s had to apologize to their contact list for a strange scam email from their account — are also aware that their passwords are pretty easy to crack. That’s what Sticky Password Premium is designed to prevent. It’s a simple but powerful tool for randomly generating new passwords for your accounts at the time of login, all controlled from a single master code. And right now you can get lifelong access to Sticky Password for just $24.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

It’s a new week, and you know what that means — new deals on awesome tools and tech. This week, we’re rounding up discounts on a massive bundle of apps for creative workflow, a super useful productivity timeline tool, along with a sleek iPhone charging dock and a set of smart trackers for keys and other stuff that’s prone to getting misplaced. This week is a mixed bag of consistently great deals, take a look:

This week’s saw some especially tempting deals, so we’ve done what we always do and gathered the best of the bunch. From a replacement set of Lightning cables, to an external battery that’s basically a portable wall outlet, a seamless solution to add gigs of space to your hard drive, and a set of sports-ready bluetooth headphones. This is the top of the week’s heap, folks — take a look:

There’s a leap of faith involved when hitting ‘send’ on important or sensitive information — whether personal correspondence, financial information, location, you name it, there’s someone willing to steal it. One way to take faith out of the equation is by connecting via a virtual private network, or VPN. SaferVPN a quick and reliable connection that’s encrypted and accessible with a single click. And right now you can get a lifetime of SaferVPN for just $49 at Cult of Mac Deals.

We could all use an extra couple hundred gigs of space on our MacBook, but no one is excited about having a bulky and expensive external drive sticking out of their computer. Hence the appeal of Nifty’s MiniDrive, which seamlessly adds up to 200GB to your MacBook without altering the laptop’s sleek profile.

This is a great, reliable alternative to cloud-based storage or more bulky options like USB drives, and right now you can get one for just $33.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

The slim Lightning cables that come with our iPhones serve as their lifeline, but they sure are fragile. If you’ve had one for more than a few weeks, you’ve seen it get frayed, cut, scuffed, and generally put through the ringer. It’s only sensible to have a backup lying around, or three — right now you can get a trio of MFi-certified Lightning cables for a big discount, $21.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Is your living room like a boneyard for old remotes? In the age of smart devices, having a separate plastic brick for each appliance in our home seems pretty dumb. Blumoo went ahead and did the logical thing, creating an app that turns your Android or iPhone (or Apple Watch) into a universal remote for your A/V devices. For a limited time, you can get it for $47.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Traveling puts you in many situations where your mobile device or laptop need juice but there’s none to be found. It’s a problem you can avoid entirely by bringing the power you need with you, which is a lot more convenient than it sounds.

These two battery packs by Mophie — one a sleek power brick with multiple charging levels, the other an iPhone 6 case with built-in charger — carry enough power to vastly extend the road life of your devices without being bulky. Take a look:

August is humming along and it’s already time again to take a look at the best deals of the last week. This round, we’ve got an app that turns your iphone into a universal remote, a duo of apps for protecting your online identity, a set of premium glass lenses for your iPhone, and a mobile charger that’ll also help you find your car.

Keeping a digital collaboration humming can get expensive, especially as your team gets bigger and bigger. Making sure everybody has access to the same projects and files often takes a pricey subscription to a cloud platform like Dropbox. But right now a powerful solution is going for a huge discount of 98 percent — you can get a lifetime of Droplr for just $21.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Everyone’s taking photos these days thanks to smartphones, but unless you’re a professional photo editor you don’t need an expensive subscription to Photoshop to make your images look their best. With this bundle of photo editing apps for Mac — from noise reduction and artificial light source simulators to photo stitching, mosaic makers, image organizers and more — you’ll have everything you need to make every image a keeper. And right now you can get the whole shebang for just $29.99 at Cult of Mac Deals. Here’s what’s included:

Some ideas have a combination of common sense and innovation that it feels good just to think about. An example: since you’re charging your smartphone while you drive, why not turn that charger into a locator so you know where your car is after you get out? That’s exactly what this car charger from Zus does, a brilliant, simple device built for double duty that can be yours for almost half off — get one for $29.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Going online is automatically risky, what with data thieves, snoops and location restrictions, among plenty of other hazards. One great way to make sure you’re protected is to regularly change up your passwords, and another is to connect through a virtual private network, or VPN.

Either move can take a lot of effort. But with this duo of apps — Dashlane Premium and Hotspot Shield Elite VPN — taking these precautions becomes effortless. And right now you can get three years of both for just $69.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

The word ‘selfie’ might make you smile or it might make you roll your eyes, but there’s a lot more to it than just front-facing cameras and goofy looking sticks. We’ve gathered some great tools for taking a wide variety of shots in a variety of situations, whether you’re trying to get the perfect jumping shot, experimenting with points of view, get shots or video from inside a car, or just more space for storing all of those photos. Any one of these could change the way you take selfies, so take a look:

This week brought with it a great crop of deals on gears and gadgets, and there are some brand new ones you might have missed. We’ve got a sleek nightstand for your Apple Watch, an app that will keep your writing error free, a versatile tripod for your cell phone, and a high res dashcam with a massive 8GB drive. That’s a lot to sort through, get digging:

We find great deals on the regular, but this week we’ve found some especially awesome gear and gadgets on sale. We’ve got a virtual reality headset that’ll blow your mind without breaking your bank, lessons in developing for the upcoming, game-changing iOS 10, a pair of extra-long, MFi-certified Lightning cables, and a tool that will transform the way you use PDFs. Take a look:

When you hear the term ‘virtual private network’, or VPN, your eyes might glaze over as you suddenly hit your limit for nerdiness tolerance. Despite all the great reasons to use a VPN — anonymous and more secure browsing, avoiding geo-restrictions, so on — it can seem like something reserved for those with a deep technical understanding of computers. Windscribe is an example of a VPN made to be simple — operating as both a simple browser extension and desktop app, it’s easy to set up and use, and right now you can get it for just $39.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

If you do work on a computer, you have to reckon with PDFs, the go-to format for documents of all kinds. As ubiquitous as PDFs are, they’re also universally tough to edit or convert unless you’ve got an app like PDFpen to unlock it. This is software that makes it easy to merge, markup, convert using OCR, and more, and right now, you can get PDFpen 8 for $37 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Considering they’re the lifelines for the most important devices in our lives, Lightning cables sure are fragile and, at just 3 feet, short. Odds are your own cable’s already frayed or nicked if you’ve had it for more than a couple months, time for a replacement. Lucky for you, there’s a chance to add length and life to the cable you use to charge and transfer data between your devices, twice. You can get two 10-foot long, MFi-Certified Lightning cables for just $14.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.
