Win a Copy of Notify!

Notify is a great mail notifier / client for Mac OS X that sits in the menubar waiting for new messages to arrive. It supports Gmail and Google Apps, Rackspace Mail, MobileMe and generic IMAP.

As I wrote in my review: “Notify 2 is one of the best application of this late 2009, allowing you to keep track of your mail accounts and manage your mail messages from the menubar, which is just great. The interface is clever and well designed, the animations smooth and,overall, the application is stable. But the coolest thing is that now I can finally keep Mail.app closed, leave Notify running and open Mail.app only if really needed. This – is just great.“.

Vibealicious gave me 5 licenses to give away to MacStories readers. This is a last 2009 gift for you guys, from MacStories, Kyle Van Essen (developer) Joel (developer) and  Sir Matthew Rex Downham (Graphic Designer and Media Dude). Details after the jump!
