Most will remember the recent controversy surrounding the MacHeist 2 lead-up. Thankfully, this is in the past and the MacHeist 2 bundle is now for sale. It’s those two weeks again, the two weeks which were labeled as the week of indie Mac developers by many last year.

This years MacHeist bundle features eleven popular software titles for just $49 USD, the bundle is an excellent deal for anyone interested in trying out new applications. This years bundle is of excellent value, you’d pay $10 more for Pixelmator along (an excellent image editing application in comparison to Photoshop).

Phillip Ryu, MacHeist founder stated “Last year, our members were offered a choice of charities to have 25% of their purchase donated to. This initiative became a spectacular success, with $200,000 raised by the end of the event. This year, we’re hoping to shatter last year’s record numbers, and show how generous the Mac community can be.”
