Two must-have Mac apps team up to offer discounts when bought together

1password 20080124 212424 Two must have Mac apps team up to offer discounts when bought togetherI love 1Password. I also love TextExpander. For me, they both fall under the category of must-have Mac apps. They’re the ones that make me feel like I’m missing an arm when I’m working on a Mac that doesn’t have them installed. Seriously. If you don’t have them, you should download them and try them now.

1Password is a utility that makes your passwords stronger while removing your need to remember them yourself.

textexpander 20071016 065720 Two must have Mac apps team up to offer discounts when bought togetherTextExpander is a typing shortcut tool that will let you assign strings of text to simple, short triggers so that you can flow out commonly typed phrases or paragraphs by only typing a few letters.

After you’ve tried them and you have that “a ha!” moment when you realize that you have just stumbled upon two applications that are going to make your Mac life easier, you’re going to want to buy them. Well, good news, SmileOnMyMac, developers of TextExpander, and Agile Web Solutions, developers of 1Password, have announced a joint marketing promotion. SmileOnMyMac now offers 1Password at 25% discount when purchased together with any SmileOnMyMac application. Meanwhile, Agile Web Solutions offers TextExpander in its online store at a discount of 20% when purchased together with 1Password.

Take your pick! Either way, you get great software at a great price. As of yet, I’m not sure how long this promotion will last, but I wouldn’t dawdle; these apps will save you time in the long run, don’t waste time now by not acting on this offer.
