Black Friday has turned into a great time to shop for software you’ve been eyeing up. Lots of great discounts this time of year. This year, I grabbed three apps I’ve wanted for a while from the “Space/Time” deal over at Uncluttered:

Cleanshot X

The “Space/Time” deal over at Uncluttered is offering a great bundle with separate app pricing; I grabbed Cleanshot X for $14.50. The Mac has long supported taking screenshots out of the box, and recent OS updates have improved the feature greatly. This app gets great reviews from everyone.

KeyCue

Keeping your hands on the keyboard is a way to speed up your workflow and stay in the zone. Remembering keyboard shortcuts, though, can be a challenge. KeyCue pulls up a HUD that shows you all of the key commands you can use in your current app.

Keyboard Maestro

I never upgraded from version 10, and thought this would be the time to go for it. I’ve never really plugged into Keyboard Maestro; I think so many of its functions are, for me, completed by other utilities. Nevertheless, it’s a storied and well-respected Mac app, and I really want to learn it.

Raycast Pro

I’ve been using the free tier of Raycast in place of Spotlight for a long time. I really like it, and have written about it a fair bit on Uncorrrected. I worry about obviating my beloved LaunchBar, and Raycast looks about as good as LaunchBar, and does most of what I need Launchbar to do. I’ve wanted to try the pro subscription primarily for themes support, sync across devices, and the unlimited clipboard history. I’m curious about the AI plugins, but I’d consider a cheaper sub or license if I could avoid the AI tools. It’s on sale with a code for like 30% off, and you can try the pro version for 10 days before being charged.

Chronos Planner

This is a cool I app I learned about while searching, but didn’t download. Looks cool. I don’t need any more productivity apps, thank you!
