a MacApp A Day

Postby Antony » Sat 02 Dec, 2006 9:30 am

MacAppADay ( http://www.macappaday.com/ ) is giving one free application a day (5000 copies a day).


Throughout December, each and every day, we’ll give away 5000 copies of a popular mac application. Even if all the apps were only worth $5.00, that’d be $150.00. And some of them are worth a lot more. Oh, and this is not a competition. Everyone gets every single application (up to a maximum of 5000 copies daily). All you have to do is remember to visit the site each day from the 1st December. And there’s a bonus on New Years! We’re not joking.


For 2nd December it's, MailSteward Lite (worth US$24.95)

Interesting. I'll have to remember to bookmark the website and backup all the apps that they give away :)

Obviously, they don't like people to 'mirror' the site.
Unauthorised mirroring of MacAppADay, and all MacAppADay application builds is illegal. From tommorow, further measures will be put into place to protect the rights of the application developers, including, but not limited to, a requirement to collect license codes for selected apps from the developers. If you run a MacAppADay Mirror, we request you shut it down immediately. If you know of a MacAppADay mirror, please tell us

Backup doesn't mean "mirroring". I meant back it up onto a CD, DVD, or similar, for personal archival purposes only. (The "mirroring" that they're talking about would be allowing people to download apps of previous days)

4th December, it's Yummy FTP, valued at US$25.

Yummy FTP is an FTP and SFTP client application for the Apple Macintosh, built as native Mac OS X software from the ground up, with the goal of providing a reliable, powerful, yet easy to use file transfer utility.

Since it’s release, Yummy FTP has gained a reputation for being the fastest, most reliable, and most flexible FTP client available. Here’s why:

Reliability: The unique connection manager monitors for busy servers or dropped/stalled connections and will re-connect and resume transfers from where they left off. Firewalls are traversed with ease with, due to the automatic FTP mode detection system. Misbehaving servers are pandered to in order to get the job done. Other apps simply display an error message.

Flexibility: Yummy FTP takes all the best standard features available in other solutions, makes them better, then adds a bunch of its own uniquely powerful features, resulting in a highly focused and productive feature set. You won’t find any bloat here. It’s also compatible with a wide range of servers from the FTP server built into Mac OS X, to Windows, Unix, and even XBox and Dec VMS servers, which fits nicely with its ability to customize settings on a per-server basis.

8th December 2006: Xslimmer it will remove the other architecture not designed for your machine from Universal Applications.

Xslimmer is a new, user friendly way to size down your Universal Binary apps, without losing any of their functionality. How is this possible?

It is achieved by removing the code inside the Universal Binaries that does not fit with your machine’s architecture, a code that never gets executed and just wastes your disk space.

9th December 2006: Mira for Apple Remote, valued at US$ 16.

The Apple Remote lets you control your Mac from across the room, but being tied to Front Row limits its true potential. With Mira you can now control any application and change the buttons to perform custom actions for each of them.
Over 55 profiles are already built-in and you can change any of them as well as add unlimited of your own

Interesting to note that today's MacApp is also free for Windows platforms if you download the Windows version and register with the MacApp A Day promotional code. :wink:
