Every now and then, between all the Black Friday / Cyber Monday crud, there are a couple of useful things that you might otherwise have thought were too expensive.

“Tower” – GUI for git (available for Mac and Windows) at 50% off from today

If you see others you think are worth sharing, please add to the thread.

Tower is excellent, by the way.

Not strictly a webdev tool, but exceptionally useful for finding those special characters and character codes:

Popchar (Mac and Windows) from ergonis.com available at 50% with code “BlackFriday17M” until Nov 24. Their other tools are also available at half price. (They say there will be a public announcement of the offer, but I couldn’t find it. This offer came via email).

And another helper tool, this time for browsing icon collections – Iconjar (mac only) at 30% reduced.

Another helper tool that’s comparatively expensive but excellent if you ever do screen tutorials on a mac: Screenflow. Available at 30% off (90,30 US$ instead of 129 US$) until Nov 27.

(If this is bothering you, tell me to stop…)

Screenflow

Aside: Screenflow is good, if you want a pure screencast grabbing workhorse then I highly recommend Screenflick (no affiliation etc). Absolute bargain at 29USD.

This one is a web dev tool that really eases web development on your own computer:

MAMP PRO available for Mac and Windows at 50% today.

MAMP itself is free but MAMP Pro supercharges it by providing a GUI for virtual hosts, so developing your own websites with a domain of your own choosing is made very easy. Also, switch between different PHP versions on a per website basis and set any apache / mod_… flags you need. If you need to, you can work entirely without an internet connection.

Two more:

Pixelmator for Mac users at 50% on the Mac App Store. Way cheaper than Photoshop and still pretty powerful. Note, a new (separate) Pixelmator Pro product is imminent, which you read about on their homepage, so no idea how long this product will be kept updated.

And if you need the big guns (and don’t already use them), the Adobe Creative Suite Annual Subscription Plan – that’s the one for all Adobe CS Apps is available at 20% off for a year for new users. If you’ve been dithering, that’s big savings, but be aware it goes up to regular pricing after a year.

And two more Mac programs for running windows as a virtual machine on a mac:

Parallels at 20% off. Also for upgrades.
VMware Fusion – Pro at 30% off, regular at 20% off. Also for upgrades.

Note: you still need a windows VM on top of that, or use one of Microsoft’s free IE testing VMs.
