Just one more week to get in on The Mac Sale, with discount for TUAW readers

by Tim Wasson (RSS feed) on Aug 11th, 2009




I don't know about you guys, but I can't get enough of these Mac software bundles. Between MacHeist, the MacUpdate bundle, Mac Bundle Box, and even iPhone software bundles, I've got more unused software licenses than I'll ever need or want. Even though I rarely want every piece of software in the bundle, there's almost always 1 or 2 that make it more cost effective to buy the bundle than buy the software separately.

The Mac Sale (noted by Christina over at DLS) is the latest bundle out there and, like the others, has some hidden gems and a few applications I know I'll never use. Some of these may be perfect for back to school season. The rundown of applications:
Your $49 will buy you $450 worth of applications, but only until August 18. As a bonus for TUAW readers, you can get a 5% discount by using coupon code TUAW at checkout.

  • Mahjong Forests - A traditional mahjong game.
  • Shoebox Express - A solution for organizing all your photos by content.
  • Caboodle - A way to collect random snippets of text or images on your machine.
  • Narrator - A program that will read out stories in multiple voices.
  • WriteRoom - A distraction-free word-processor, and possibly the most popular app in the bundle.
  • Scribbles - A simple drawing utility.
  • Money - An accounting app.
  • Operation - A simple project management application.
  • Aurora - An iTunes-integrated alarm clock.
  • Compositor - A CoreGraphics-based image editor.

Scribbles simple drawing

by Mat Lu (RSS feed) on Dec 4th, 2007



Of late there have been several Core Image based image editors released for the Mac. Scribbles does not attempt to be one of them. It is first and foremost for, well, scribbling or doodling. What makes it interesting is the very simple interface, plus the stroke rendering engine that automatically smoothes out strokes. This is particularly apparent when using the mouse to write out letters. Instead of jagged edges you get fluid lines. The interface is designed to be extremely easy to use, and accordingly the tool set is very limited. Nonetheless, there is basic 3D layers support which makes it relatively easy to get some nice effects. My sense is this would be a great drawing application for kids.

Scribbles is $19.95 and a demo is available from atebits. There's also a screencast on that same page worth checking out.
