Mac software bundles are a dime a dozen these days. Just yesterday, my pal Steve Sande wrote about the Mac Bundle Box for TUAW and it seems nearly every week, my inbox gets a notice about this bundle promotion or that bundle promotion. At first glance The Mac Sale doesn't seem that different from other Mac bundles that have come out recently. For $49, you get 10 applications that are valued at $450.

What caught my eye about The Mac Sale was that many of the apps in the bundle are what I would call "hidden gems" in the Mac software space.

Here's the rundown of applications:

REALBasic Personal - A rapid development tool that also exists for Linux and Windows.
Iris - An image manipulation program.
Interarchy - One of the oldest -- and most versatile -- file transfer programs for the Mac.
Flux - This is like Dreamweaver on steroids. I really like Flux and have been contemplating writing a separate post just about it.
Scribbles - A fun sketching program.
TaskPaper - Really nice task manager. I love TaskPaper.
WriteRoom - Jay reviewed the mobile version yesterday and the OS X version is totally great for writers.
Stuf - Clipboard manager that lets you share items over your network.
Mariner Calc - Very good spreadsheet app.
HoudahSpot - Spotlight on crack.

The Mac Sale will be going on until August 18th, so you've got two weeks to get in on the deal.The Mac Sale offers 10 Mac apps for $49 originally appeared on Download Squad on Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:00:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
