The Web is full of so many free offers, but there’s one online right now that adds several business-ready tools to a Mac user’s tool box. MacHeist, which must be doing this to collect e-mail addresses, has offered “indie” software for a free download. You can look over the offer at the MacHeist site. But it all expires in five days (perhaps Thursday, Nov. 12 at the latest.)
The business-related programs are
- Write Room, which provides a clutter-free screen for writing without distractions. Not easy to get something written with all those Web pages, e-mails and Facebook feeds all around you.
- Tiny Grab, which snaps screen shots off of your Mac and plants them in your clipboard. Very handy for posting to a blog or a, yeah, Twitter/Facebook page.
- Then there’s Mariner Write, a full-featured word processor-writing suite that is an alternative to Microsoft Word. It also saves in Word format. The catch here is that 500,000 people have to download the rest of the programs for Mariner Write to be “unlocked.” It usually happens. In the meantime, five other programs are already unlocked and ready to use.
