Your Mac is kind of like your house. Unless you’re diligent, it’s normal for a mess to start to build up. On your computer, that may look like half-downloaded apps, unused software, large untouched files, and other digital clutter.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an animated image must be worth millions a minute. You don’t have to do the math on that. Just look at the popularity of films like The Incredibles or Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.

The latest version of Moho animation software makes it easier than ever for creators to put their art in motion. And a flash sale makes Moho a lot more affordable. Through June 20, you can grab this incredible alternative to traditional animation for just $79.97 (regularly $399).

A shelf full of DVDs might look good, but a physical copy of a movie is only as good as the disc holding it. To conserve space and make your movies accessible, you can burn your DVDs directly to your computer.

This great Mac app is on sale for just $29.99 for a limited time. (You also can get a Family License for just $35.99, which allows up to five devices).

If all Adobe gave the world was the PDF file, the software maker would be justly remembered as a tech innovator. But today, the company gives visual creatives of all types the tools they need to realize their vision (and make a living) through the powerful tools in Adobe Creative Cloud.

Your Mac is a mighty machine, but in some ways it’s got some pretty human problems. That includes getting messy and catching a bug. The occasional spring cleaning or malware scan are well and good, but what you really want is a complete toolkit that covers everything.

Your Mac needs a checkup from the neck up, to use the technical term. Lucky for you, Intego’s premium bundles of apps for Mac are deeply discounted right now. Check out some of the helpful tools in the bundles below.

I’ve written six nonfiction books about Apple, and every time during the writing process, I’d grind to a halt because I had no idea how to organize all the material I’d gathered.

So I’d do what every writer has done since time immemorial: I’d take reams and reams of notes, cut them up into small pieces, and then tape them together in an order that made some kind of sense. The trouble is, it rarely did!

Little did I know, there’s a much easier way: Scrivener.

It’s easy to get lost in the weeds when looking at a long document or starting a big writing project. If you want a powerful tool that can organize your writing, and let you rework it the entire time you’re composing, here’s your chance to get a lifetime subscription to Scrivener for Mac or Windows.

It’s on sale now for only $29.99 (regularly $59).

Your Mac can’t do everything right out of the box. The Mac Madness App Bundle gives you 14 Mac apps especially suited for various tasks, from exporting photo metadata to batch-converting audio files.

You can use a free Mac app called LocationSimulator to hide your real location on your iPhone. It works great as a Pokémon Go spoofer. Just set it up, then plug your phone into a Mac and tell it where you want to “be.” You don’t need to jailbreak your phone or install anything on it.

When using LocationSimulator, every app on your iPhone will use this new GPS location. It’s useful for maintaining privacy — for instance, if you’re posting screenshots online, it’ll mask your real home address. Developers can use it, too, for testing location features in their apps.

Best of all, you just need a Mac. LocationSimulator is free and open-source.

What Microsoft Office is to the 9-to-5 worker, Adobe is to designers, photographers and almost anyone working in the creative field. That’s been true for a long time, but fees for this high-end software can be a significant barrier to entry for those looking to use these essential tools.

Not anymore, though. This special offer lets new customers work with more than 20 apps in the Adobe Creative Cloud for only $29.99 (regularly $82) for one month.

Whether you’re just learning how to code, you’re studying computer science or you’re a well-seasoned Mac developer, these three apps are sure to help you in your work. I have an app that adds a whole slew of new features to the Xcode Simulator, one that makes it easier managing packages in Homebrew and a better way to download and install Xcode.

All of these tools are, themselves, open source. There are links to each GitHub repo where you can learn from them and compile them yourself.

PDFs are still the best way to send and share documents, contracts and invoices, whether you work from your office or run a small business at home. However, Apple users know it can be a nightmare to properly edit PDFs on standard Mac software.

But with a lifetime license to PDF Expert, you can create and convert beautifully readable documents and never have to struggle with trying to edit PDFs on macOS again. You can get it on sale for $69.99 (regularly $139), the best price online.

Here’s the bad news for students, and the good news for writers of any other kind: Despite the hype, ChatGPT isn’t going to do your job for you. There’s always going to be a need for journalists, novelists, screenwriters — and yes, essays that prove you know your subject.

However, while tech can’t replace your creativity, it can make your job a lot easier. Scrivener 3, the latest update to the software that professional writers have been using since 2007, is on sale now at a 50% discount. And Cult of Mac readers can get lifetime access to it for an extra 10% off.

You can even enjoy a 15% discount with the code CULTOFMACQ1, exclusive for Cult of Mac readers.

While the cameras on our iPhones and how we take photos are constantly improving, we can always use a hand to clean them up after the fact. For those of us that aren’t professional photographers, or particularly adept at photo editing, user-friendly and innovative photo editing software can make this daunting task a whole lot easier.

Luminar Neo uses the power of artificial intelligence to edit, refine and stylize photos. And now, you can grab a lifetime license to it, bundled with other impressive photo editing add-ons, for only $79 (regularly $400) — but the savings don’t stop there. Cult of Mac readers can save an extra 10% by adding exclusive coupon code TAKE10NOW.
