Press Release

WinterFest 2019

December 19, 2019 — Eric Böhnisch-Volkmann

Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — DEVONtechnologies and eleven like-minded makers of genuine Mac software have teamed up for their traditional year-end celebration of hand-crafted software for writers, designers, and thinkers. Apps created by real people, not faceless corporations, and designed to work together. A basket of carefully selected applications, not a meaningless bundle of random products.

Customers buy any of the participating products with the exclusive discount by using the common coupon code WINTERFEST2019 in the respective company’s online shop. More information about the WinterFest 2019 offer is available on artisanalsoftwarefestival.com.

For a limited time, DEVONtechnologies, Aeon Timeline, Apparent Software, Bare Bones Software, C-Command, Eastgate Software, Houdah Software, Nisus, ProVUE Development, Smile Software, and Sonny Software offer their tools all for a fair price and directly from the people who make them:

  • DEVONthink 3: Brand new upgrade to the best Mac information manager
  • DEVONagent Pro: Your personal research assistant
  • Aeon Timeline: The timeline tool for creative thinking
  • BBEdit: Power tool for text

WinterFest assembles many best-of-breed tools for writing, creating, and researching on the Mac. These innovative applications use the latest research and engineering to address the most challenging facets of knowledge work. Each of them is the work of a small design team or a passionate designer, bringing devoted craftsmanship to a field too often dominated by corporate blandness.

The Better Together page shows real-life examples how these tools work together hand in hand to enable their users create something new without struggling with software that throws stones into their way.

Our customers are no casual users. They work with our app every day. They collect things they receive or find online, organize them in DEVONthink, and give them a structure. Then they switch to other apps to create. Some write in Nisus Writer or Storyspace; some others move to Tinderbox to make sense of their thoughts.

Eric Boehnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies

No matter what craft you’re pursuing, there is no investment more useful, productive, or gratifying than a set of finely crafted tools and trustworthy reference materials.

Rich Siegel, Bare Bones Software

You don’t discover inspired design in focus groups. Artisanal software is filled with ideas, ambition, and a passion to make things right. Using all these tools together lets our team build better software while engaging the rest of the research community.

Mark Bernstein, developer of Tinderbox

DEVONtechnologies offers 25% discount on DEVONthink and DEVONagent Pro.

WinterFest 2019 officially starts on December 19th, 2019, and ends on January 7th, 2020. Participating companies may choose to keep their offer open longer.
