Woodstock, Illinois – This Holiday season, Thoughtful Tree Software is giving out a Holiday Special, giving out a $50 discount when purchasing all 5 of our apps.

QuickApps:
When it comes to opening less-frequent apps quickly, QuickApps is ideal. Use this app to get rid of clutter in your Dock while still keeping all of your applications only a mouse-click away! Normal price: $19.99.

TunesBar:
Checking out what the current artist, album, or track name name is for the currently playing iTunes track can be a hassle when using iTunes. Use TunesBar to see this information instantly in your Menu Bar! Normal price: $19.99

Modena:
Many tasks require proper time management, and newly available for Leopard is our timer application, Modena. Use Modena for all sorts of timed-tasks or jobs, ranging from giving children time-outs, timing a test for students in school, or reminding oneself when a pizza will be done cooking! With 3 distinct display modes, Modena suits the job for most any task. Normal price: $14.99

Docks:
Have more applications in your Dock than you use at any given time? Get rid of the clutter with Docks! This app allows users to quickly switch between “sets” of icons in your Dock, for all types of tasks. Normal price: $14.99

LoginControl:
Mac OS X gives us plenty of power, but one place it’s lacking in particular is Login Items in the System Preferences. LoginControl gives control back to the user, so you can organize your Login Items more easily, and even have multiple “sets” of Login Items to switch between any time! Normal Price: $9.99

Normally, all 5 of these applications priced together are $80, but this season we’re giving this package to customers for only $29.95, the highest discount we’ve ever given, of $50 (USD) off the entire purchase.

Happy Holidays!
