CrossOver 15 for Mac ($19.99, 49% off)
There are very few things a Mac can't do at this point. As Apple's OS has climbed in popularity, there's more incentive for developers to actually make apps that work on it.
However, you'll still find some situations where a certain piece of software just doesn't have a Mac version. Maybe there's a game that wasn't ported over, or a smaller app that the developers haven't made for Mac yet. That's where CrossOver 15 saves the day. It allows you to run Windows software on your Mac without doing anything complicated. Windows apps will sit right in your Dock, so they run just as easily as a native app.
When you want to run apps, you don't need to restart your computer, which is a great timesaver. Another thing that will save you time is that there's no compromise on performance when you run an app with CrossOver 15. All the memory and processing power of your Mac will go to the Windows app, making it easy to forget that you're even running a non-native app at all.
Normally, CrossOver 15 would sell for $40, but for a limited time you can get it for $19.95. That's 49% off the normal price. If you've been looking for a way to run Windows apps on your PC without the need for Windows virus protection, and you want it to be easy to use, you're going to want to snag this deal.
Screens 3 for Mac ($12.99, 56% Off)
This cool app is a powerful virtual network client (VNC) that will let you control all of your computers right from your Mac. This way, you only need to bring your MacBook with you, while still having access to all of your important files and programs on your desktops.
One of the main reasons this app is great is how easy it is to use. It's designed to be user-friendly, so if you've ever struggled with getting a VNC up and running, you'll like this, because it guides you through the whole process.
Here's a look at some of the other useful features of Screens 3:
- Connect to more than one display at a time
- Set up actions that occur on logout
- Secure SSH tunnel
- Single use guest access
- Shared clipboard to share content
- Multitouch support
Basically, if there's a feature you'd want from a remote desktop, Screen 3 has it. For $12.99, you can't go wrong.
Max Total Security with Anti-Virus for Mac ($22, 45% Off)
Sadly, we live in a world where Macs aren't more or less immune to viruses anymore. Because the install base is so large now, it's worth the effort for malicious people to create malware for Apple's OS. As such, you really need to protect your computer.
Max Total Security has all the features you need to make sure your computer is safe and secure. It has all the scanning features you need such as the ability to scan every folder on your PC, a quick scan for getting just the key folders, and a custom scan that gives you full control. You'll get updated virus signatures, so as new malware is introduced, you'll be able to protect yourself against it.
This app does more than just scan for viruses, as it also has features designed to secure your Mac in the event of theft. You can takes snapshots from your camera so you can see the person who stole your device and find it (preferably by providing the police with the info they need). You can even sound an alarm remotely, which could deter theft before it goes all the way.
With a 45% discount, this security app is definitely worth a look. Think about how much it could save you in the long run by preventing your Mac from suffering irreparable damage or theft.
Enjoy!
