Today, we're going to check out three deals on Mac software that you'll love. Whether you want to work with PDF files, keep your Mac secure, or save time, there's an app for you.
PDF Expert 2.0 for Mac ($29.99, 50% Off)
When it comes to working with documents, PDFs offer quite a bit more than other formats when it comes to visuals and functionality.
However, to really make the most of PDF documents and all the good stuff they can do, you need the right software. That's where PDF Expert 2.0 comes in. It was the 2015 App of the Year Runner Up in the Mac App Store, which is no small feat when you consider the number of apps available there. It's also been named an Apple Editors' Choice, which is another solid accolade that further exemplifies how good it is at working with PDFs.
So what makes it so good? It makes it easy to edit text, images, links, and outlines. It's also able to load large documents smoothly, so if patience isn't your thing, you'll like this app.
Here are some of the other features that make PDF Expert 2.0 so good:
- Annotate PDFs extensively with numerous tools.
- Merge PDF files and sign documents seamlessly.
- Fill out PDF forms like taxes, applications, orders, and more.
- Share your PDFs across iPhone, iPad, and Mac easily.

TextExpander: 1-Yr Single User Plan ($19.98, 60% Off)
No matter what you do on the computer, there are going to be redundant things that you need to do over and over. Whether you're a programmer typing the same bits of code repeatedly, or you're just writing emails, things are bound to repeat. I'm willing to bet that if you really sit and think about your workflow and how it goes every day, you're forced to do the same stuff, even if you don't realize it.
That's where TextExpander comes in. You save snippets that expand to whatever you want. You can even set up your snippets to automatically insert clipboard content, which can come in handy for filling in longer bits of text without having to use CTRL-V every time.
Here's an example:
Let's say you're programming, and you need to enter a line of code over and over along with text from the clipboard. You could set up a shortcut where you enter the first couple letters of the code and hit a key, and it will fill out the rest of the line and pastes the clipboard where you need it. It's easy to see how this could save lots of time as you go.
Also userful for programmers are features such as the built-in HTML and CSS, editor-independent code templates, the ability to invoke multi-platform JavaScript, AppleScript and shell scripts, and much more.
What really sets this app apart from the others is the ability to have your snippets sync across multiple devices quickly and easily. This saves a tremendous amount of time, since you won't have to manually move them between different computers and your iOS devices. If you have some days where you work from home and some where you go into the office, you won't have a problem making the transition.
If you already use a different typing expander app, and you decide you want to switch, there's even the ability to import your existing data, so you can make the transition painless.
