The folks over at lifehacker.com have put together a list of “free” applications as an alternative to the MacHeist $49 bundle. (Which of course is already a good deal.)
Some of the ones on the list are:
Aurora 3 or Alarm Clock 2 Instead of Awaken
Mint Instead of Cha-Ching
Quicksilver or Stacks Instead of Overflow
KeePassX Instead of Wallet
Instead of WriteRoom – the cross-platform JDarkRoom (original post) or web-based options like Writer (original post) or DarkCopy (original post).
OnyX Instead of XSlimmer
