11 Mac Software Developers Join Together for the 2016 Winter Festival of Artisanal Software

Once again, eleven developers of Mac software have joined together for a year-end celebration of hand-crafted software for writers, designers, and thinkers. For a limited time, a number of great Mac apps and ebooks will be available for a discounted price of 25% off.

Scrivener – One of the apps available for a discount via WinterFest 2016

Developers participating include: DEVONtechnologies, Aeon Timeline, Bare Bones Software, Eastgate, Hog Bay Software, Houdah Software, Literature and Latte, Nisus, Smile Software, Sonny Software, and Take Control Books. Each tool is the work of a small design team or a passionate designer, “bringing devoted craftsmanship to a field too often dominated by corporate blandness.”

The discounted apps include:

  • Aeon Timeline: The timeline tool for creative thinking
  • BBEdit: Powerful tool for text
  • Bookends: The reference manager you’ve been looking for
  • DEVONthink Pro Office: Your paperless Mac office
  • HoudahSpot: Powerful file search for Mac
  • Nisus Writer Pro: Powerful word processing for your Mac
  • PDFpen Pro: Powerful PDF editing
  • Scapple: Quickly capture and connect ideas
  • Scrivener: Your complete writing studio
  • Storyspace: Serious hypertext narrative
  • Take Control Books: Essential books about Mac and iOS
  • Task Paper: Make lists and get organized
  • TextExpander: Type more with less effort
  • Tinderbox: Visualize and organize your notes, plans, and ideas

Winterfest gathers a collection of some of the best tools available for writing and research that are currently available. Unlike other offers, which make you buy a number of apps in a bundle, WinterFest 2016 allows you to buy the apps you actually want, directly from the developer, at a 25% discount, simply by using the code: “WINTERFEST2016.”

The WinterFest 2016 apps are all selected with how well they work together in mind. For more information on how the apps can work hand-in-hand to increase your productivity, visit the “Together” website.

WinterFest 2016 will run for a limited time, so be sure to visit the website for more information about the collection of discounted apps.
