A productivity specialist who shows you how to define your day, funnel your focus, and make every moment matter. Read full profile

The latest of our Lifehack Deals is one that offers our Mac-using readers a chance to add some stellar apps to their Mac that will help them create more effectively and efficiently. And that's exactly the kind of thing we want to bring to our Lifehack readers.

This time around, we have 7 Mac apps for only $50 – a savings of 86% – that will make your machine more productive than ever. And it won't put a huge dent in your pocketbook, either.

The Mac Designer Bundle has some serious efficiency packed right into it. Starting with the truly awesome calendar app Fantastical.

Fantastical has been touched on here briefly before, and it is one of the best calendar apps out there – for any platform. The ability to enter your appointments using real language and knowing that Fantastical will parse it out into your calendar so that you don't miss a beat is a marvel to behold. It supports syncing across popular calendar apps like GCal and iCal, and allows for editing right from within the app as it sits on your menu bar as you work away on the task at hand. It does what it does exceedingly well, and gets out of your way when you don't need to have it right in your face. The fact it is is such an inexpensive app to begin with is another amazing thing about it, but being part of The Mac Designer Bundle means you get even more great apps along with it – like RapidWeaver 5.

If you're not a web designer, have no interest in using anything that isn't native your Mac and are familiar with iWeb, then RapidWeaver 5 is perfect for you. It is what I would describe as "iWeb on steroids", allowing you to create and design elegant and effective websites right on your Mac. It's simple to use, and the results are as professional as they come. And it does all of this very quickly – after all, it isn't called RapidWeaver for nothing.

There are 5 more apps that make up this incredible Lifehack Deals offer, including:

ExpanDrive
FX Photo Studio Pro
IconBox
KeyCue
MotionComposer

The Mac Designer Bundle is only available for a limited time, and at a savings of 86% off the regular price you're not going to find a better deal on 7 apps that will improve the performance of your Mac – and yourself in the process.

Pick up The Mac Designer Bundle while you can…and you'll see exactly what I mean.
