£19.99 in the uk store :frowning:

There are two “Inpaint” apps by them listed in the US MAS - v.6 is $19.99 but the current,slightly different-named v.7 (with a different icon) is $0.99 in the US, at least. So do a search on “inpaint” and see if the newer version is also on sale in your store.

EDIT:

USA Mac App Store Inpaint 6 ($19.99) vs Inpaint (version 7, 99¢)

Found it, thanks for that :slight_smile:

I realize it’s not a straight-up “sale”, but VMWare is discounting VMWare 11.5 for current owners of Parallels v14. So instead of upgrading to Parallels v15, you can basically get VMWare for a few bucks less.

I have all 3 versions of Things 3 and I highly recommend this minimalist but great GTD app!

I’m tempted by the Things sale. I’m a long term OmniFocus but for the last year or two I’ve found myself more and more frustrated with it, especially the iPad app. I do wonder though if Things 4.0 is on its way.

PayPal’s digital_gifts subsidiary is again offering $100 iTunes gift cards for $85. Email delivery, USA only.

(When took this offer earlier in the year and redeemed it to my account, Apple offered me a deal for one-year of Apple Music at a $100 discounted rate. Since I’d only paid $85, and was already an AM customer, I jumped at the deal to extend my subscription at the effective rate of $7/month. However: the next time I applied a $100 gift card I was not offered that deal.)

FWIW, the time between Things 2 and Things 3 was something like 5 or 6 years. They don’t have a history of rapid releases just to make money.

Doesn’t look like it. They said in a blog post that if macOS can to past version.9 then they can too.

That looks like a great deal but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be global. Here in India both the apps are priced at Rs 1,599 (around USD 22).

Usually $40, the Twelve South Compass 2 for iPad (‘optimized for 9.7-inch iPad and all generations of iPad Air and iPad mini’), in black, dropped to $14.90, with same-day shipping.

The Acorn image editor is on sale for another week.

Looked mildly interesting but with no mac app it’s hard to see the benefit over something like OneDrive personal vault or pClouds crypto drive - which are basically the same.

Cryptomator has a Mac app and its free: https://cryptomator.org/
