Between all the popular outlets and what seems to be constant talk on Twitter, Mac users might have found it hard not to notice the MacHeist nanoBundle 2, a set of excellent applications worth $322 that can be purchased for $19.95, with 25% of the proceeds going towards a reputable charity of your choice. While we’re already 4 days in to this helluva deal, is it worth your hard earned cash? I’d instantly tell you yes, but then you’re going to ask me what makes these apps better than some free alternatives (as possibly mentioned on Lifehacker). Well my friends, here’s the definitive overview of the 2nd nanoBundle.
I’ll admit that task managers for both the iPhone and the Mac do cost a little bit of cash. Most of these paid applications are quite awesome, but users don’t always need the additional functionality they provide. If you want a simple GTD app that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, look no further than List.

Being a student, I often travel with my laptop between home and campus. At school, there’s a lot of things I need to do, but I often forget to do. For example, I need to mute my machine (it would be embarassing if suddenly a notification from Twitterrific suddenly sounded in the middle of class), disable bluetooth, and close Mail. Locations, a basic application from Codehackers, solves this problem by doing all of this for you. If you’ve ever used MarcoPolo (which isn’t fully Snow Leopard compatible), you’ll be right at home with this app.

Looks sweet.
We’ve been reviewing a lot of web applications on MacStories during these last weeks, and not because we haven’t been able to find new “native” apps both for Mac and iPhone - because we believe today’s webapps have a lot to teach to desktop applications. Also, many of us use websites as desktop applications running inside an instance of Fluid.app: I have 3 Fluid apps sitting in my dock at the time of writing this post.
We usually focus on applications that could empower our productivity workflows with new tools, new ways of doing the old stuff, possibly standard compliant. Just take a look at Zootool, HipChat, Nirvana: they’re all great pieces of software that, no matter they’re written in Cocoa or not can run on our Macs just fine - and they’re useful.
The webapp Cody and I are going to talk about today is something you haven’t seen before anywhere else. It’s a sort of online storage / virtual desktop /collaboration app that presents a nice interface and runs very smoothly. An online place for you, your family and your co-workers that could seriously become one of your 2010 new favorite apps.
Enter Kohive.
Screenflow users, this is must-try.
