We seem to be on a roll with software giveaways at the moment – both here, and at Web.AppStorm. We’re continuing the momentum today, and have copies of both Layers and Concentrate to give away.
Concentrate is a great application that helps you work and study more productively by eliminating distractions. Our review of Concentrate is a good place to start if you’d like to find out more.
We reviewed Layers a few months ago, and found it to be a well rounded app which reliably delivers on the promise of providing a layered PSD file of your desktop.
We have five licenses of each application to give away. To enter, just leave a comment on this post telling us which you would prefer and why. The competition will run for one week, and we’ll announce the winners on the 23rd September. Good luck!
After a great deal of deliberation, we have decided upon the winners of our desktop wallpaper competition (in conjunction with PSDTuts+). Thank you to everyone who entered. There were so many fantastic entries, choosing only ten winners was incredibly difficult.
We will be posting a huge roundup of over 160 incredible, original wallpapers tomorrow, so be sure to follow Mac AppStorm on Twitter or subscribe to our RSS feed so you don’t miss out.
The brief was to design an original wallpaper with a theme centred around Apple, AppStorm, or Lightning. We had a fantastic selection of entries – some covering all three of these areas, others covering one or two. The winning wallpapers cover a broad range of styles and techniques.
Without further ado, here are the ten lucky winners:

The best way to make work feel like not work is to do something you enjoy, and do it damn well. That’s why I’m happy to announce the newest Envato blog: WorkAwesome! As you might guess from the name, it’s a site for people who want to be awesome at work. After all, if you’re going to spend eight hours a day doing something, you may as well put some heart into it!
Thank you to everyone who entered last week’s competition to win a copy of VoodooPad or Pathfinder. They’re both great applications in their respective fields, and I’m pleased to announce that the winners have been chosen!
The two lucky VoodooPad winners are:
- Wes Crockett
- Francisco Queiroga
And the ten recipients of a Pathfinder license are:
- Franky
- Bruno Moniz
- Ivan
- Ramon Barrios Lascar
- Dani
- George Calderon
- Il maistro
- David F
- Maeltj
- Lucas Dohmen
We’ll be announcing the winners of our huge wallpaper competition very soon, so be sure to follow us on Twitter or subscribe to the RSS feed to find out if you’re a winner!
I’m always thrilled to see Mac software being used for a charitable goal. A recent email from Jim Whimpey drew my attention to his Mac software raffle, with all proceeds going towards the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. JDRF is one of the biggest organizations around committed to fighting type 1 diabetes.
Every $10 you donate to Jim’s Ride to Cure Diabetes between September 1st and 14th will get you a chance to win one of two great Mac software bundles.
The software included seems to be growing every day, and includes Things, MarsEdit, Black Ink, Scribbles, Tweetie, Clipstart, Wii Transfer, TimeBoxed, 1Password, and Family.
If you’d like to be in with a chance of winning, and do something for a great cause, head over and donate your $10!
Ember is a new web application, recently launched to complement the excellent LittleSnapper. I’m thrilled to let you know that our sister site, Web.AppStorm, has announced a great competition to win two copies of LittleSnapper and five Ember Pro licenses.
It’s a great chance to get your hands on a solid inspiration-gathering system, and entering is simple. Just read through the competition announcement at Web.AppStorm for all the details.
Good luck!
Thank you for all your comments regarding the MacTastik strip. It seems that, although a few of you aren’t big fans, the majority of our readers enjoy the quick laugh the comic brings each week. It will be continuing for the foreseeable future, and if you have any suggestions, comments or questions, please feel free to email me.

We’re kicking off another big software giveaway today, with two copies of VoodooPad and ten Pathfinder licenses up for grabs.
We have recently reviewed VoodooPad – a place to dump all your information, no matter how obscure. The application is elastic, and can stretch to meet your needs, and shrink accordingly.
Pathfinder featured in our roundup of Finder alternatives, coming out as the most powerful and full-featured of those on offer.
Entering is simple. All you need to do is:
- Post a link to this competition – either on your website, or via Twitter
- Leave a comment, letting me know where you posted the link!
The competition will run for one week, and we’ll randomly select three winners on Wednesday 9th September. Good luck!
