The Surprisingly Useful Bundle
Every app I make.
One purchase.
30 native Mac apps for the small, constant jobs of a working day, and every app I ship after this one too.
What's in the box
Each one is small, native and does one job well. Click any of them for screenshots and the details. Apps marked iPhone & iPad come with a free promo code for the iOS version on request.

Questions
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay $40 once and the apps are yours. There's nothing to renew.
Do I really get future apps?
Yes. Every Mac app I release after you buy joins the bundle, and your key unlocks it with no extra charge.
Does it cover the iPhone and iPad versions?
Yes, on request. The bundle key unlocks the Mac apps you download from this site. The iPhone and iPad versions come from the App Store, which can't read that key, so email me with your order and I'll send you promo codes for the ones you want.
Can I try the apps first?
Yes. Download any of them from its page and use it before you buy. If you only want a few, the smaller App Store bundles or a single app might suit you better.
What do the apps need?
A Mac on a recent version of macOS. Each app's page lists its exact requirement.
30 apps. $40. Done.
One key for everything here, and for everything that comes next.
