The New BundleHunt Mac Bundle Is Live — Here’s What’s Worth Grabbing

The bargain software shopping spree that happens every November leading up to Black Friday is officially underway. The new Bundlehunt offering debuts today 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. This is a bundle for getting work done, being creative and optimizing work flows. A few of the apps are geared towards developers, but most are for regular home and office users looking for useful tools.

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.

betterdisplay lost keyboard brightness functionality

I seem to have lost the ability to increase/decrease the brightness of my external monitor (M2 MBP 14" hooked up to a Dell 2721QS) a month or two ago. I'm pretty sure this is due to the app updating, and I only have the license for an older version. I uninstalled the app, and reinstalled the previous version that I bought a license for but after that I still can't control my brightness. I have tried removing/re-adding permissions to the app, checking several settings on the app but still no luck.

Is there an app that lets me open a chrome extension without needing a full browser?

I’m looking for a solution to using only a chrome extension on macOS as if it’s an app, without needing to open a browser just for that.

An example is I want to use the Qwacky extension to manage all my DuckDuckGo email aliases, but I don’t want to do that within my browser or open a browser just for that.

Is there a way to open a chrome/firefox extension as a standalone app?

Thanks in advance

App to share a part of the screen

Hey everyone, I made an app called Zone Share, that lets you mirror any part of your screen into a separate window, which you can then share in Teams or any other app. It can be useful, for example, if you’re using an ultrawide monitor and people are complaining that everything looks small on their end.

You can also draw and annotate right on the mirrored area. The basic functions are free, for more advanced features a Pro Version can be purchased. It is a single payment and you get lifetime updates, no subnoscription.

What you think? Do you have a use case in mind where it could help? Do you miss any features? Would love to get some feedback.

I built SleepBar - A simple menu bar app to put your Mac to sleep after a timer

Hey everyone! 👋

I just launched SleepBar - a simple menu bar app for macOS that does one thing really well: puts your Mac to sleep after a timer.

The Problem:
I kept falling asleep while watching videos or listening to podcasts on my Mac, and it would stay running all night. I couldn't find an app that was both simple and worked on macOS 26 (Tahoe) that would act as a simple sleep timer.

The Solution:
SleepBar lives in your menu bar and lets you quickly set a sleep timer. When the timer ends, it puts your Mac to sleep (or just the display, your choice).

Key Features:
- ⚡ Quick presets: 15m, 30m, 1h, 2h
- 🎯 Custom duration timers (e.g., 1h 45m)
- 🕐 Specific time timers (e.g., "sleep at 11:30 PM")
- 💤 Choose between system sleep or display sleep
- ➕ Extend running timers with a tap
- 🚨 1 Minute Pre-Sleep warning with option to cancel or extend
- 🎨 Clean, native macOS design

Why I Built It:
I wanted something dead simple that just works. No complicated settings, no subnoscription, just a straightforward tool that does what you'd expect.

Try It Free:
- 7-day free trial
- $4.20 One-time purchase to support development (no subnoscription)
- Auto-updates via Sparkle
- macOS 14.0+

Download: sleepbar.app

Would love to hear your feedback! Let me know if there are any features you'd like to see.
