The New BundleHunt Mac Bundle Is Live — Here’s What’s Worth Grabbing
Mac AppsThe bargain software shopping spree that happens every Black Friday is officially underway. The new Bundlehunt offering is available with an unusually strong offering of power user tools as opposed to a collection of cookie-cutter clipboard managers and AI chat wrappers. It's got good automation tools, some real creative apps, and a few niche power-user picks that would normally run you $40 or more.
I've been buying apps from Bundlehunt since 2015. When you make a purchase from them, you get a personally generated page with download links, license codes and installation instructions. Some apps are for a single computer, but often you can install what you purchase on multiple Macs. You can also download a CSV with all that info for your records. Not every app is a gem of course, but it's been a great way for me to pick up some real keepers at a fraction of the normal price. Additionally, I have never had a security issue with anything purchased there if you are wondering "Is it safe?"
My usual disclaimer - I'm not affiliated with any of these developers. In most cases, I've listed alternative apps that provide similar functionality to what's on sale here.

Downie
If you want to download video from YouTube, there are a variety of ways. There is a Raycast Extension. There is the great free YouTube muti-action app, Freetube. Finally there is Downie from Charlie Monroe. Downie not only downloads from YouTube, Youku, Bilibili and Vimeo it can download from more than 1,000 sites with more being added bi-weekly. You can even write to the developer and request that a site be added and chances are he will act on it. He even offers to help if you run into a problematic video on a site already in the supported list.
Downie can download 4K video, which not all downloaders can do. It can also convert to MP-4 (for iPad and iPhone use) or do only audio extraction on the fly. It supports iCloud synchronization to maintain your download history over different devices. The app has muli-language support and the developer offers free licenses to anyone who adds a new language to the support library. If you have a legacy operating system, past versions of Downie can be downloaded.
Downie is normally a one-time purchase of $19.99 but it is now on sale for $8 and a single license is good for all the computers you personally own, although if that is greater than three you need to contact the dev for an accommodation.
Downie is also available on Setapp.
There was a minor controversy some time back when the developer left empty threats in his code to delete files from the computers of those running pirated versions of the software. He has since apologized for doing that and no files were actually deleted from anyone's machine.
Permute
Permute by Charlie Monroe (developer of Downie) makes media conversion simple regardless of whether you need to manipulate images, video or audio. Its simple drag and drop interface instantly identifies the media you are working with and uses presets to convert the file to the format you want.
Permute does not require you to download any plugins for video conversion. It can convert FLV or MP4 files natively into dozens of other formats and vice versa. The current version of Permute is 3x faster than previous versions. If you have multiple videos to convert, the app has a scheduler so that you can do the conversions during off hours instead of pegging out your CPU while you are trying to do other work. Another valuable feature is Permute's ability to merge videos so that if you have a part one and a part two, a simple right-click > Merge is all you need to make a single file.
Audio files can be turned into Apple Lossless or FLAC using the same simple drag and drop interface. If you have a video that you want to save just the audio portion of, Permute can easily do that as well.
Permute can turn PDFs into multiple image files, one per page if you need that functionality. It can also do the opposite, turning a folder full of image files into a single PDF.
There are so many other great features in Permute - adjust volume of an audio file or an audio track in a video. Batch-resize, rotate and flip images and videos, convert images to text. And more. When used in conjunction with Downie, you can auto format the downloaded videos for the device where you intend to watch them.
Permute is on sale for $5. There is no current difference in the two versions. It is also available from Setapp.
One I Would Skip
Mail Archiver X
I've written a full
length review of this app. It didn't function as advertised and tech
support was a whopping $70 per incident at the time I evaluated the app.
Long-term email archiving and indexing software designed to preserve
searchable, offline access to mail across clients and accounts. Supports
IMAP, Apple Mail, Gmail, and Microsoft 365.
