WinterFest is not a random collection of apps. All participating companies are small shops with small development teams, sometimes even just one passionate designer. All of them bring devoted craftsmanship focused on making great applications for writing, creating, and researching. And they all love the Mac.

We just love the idea of artisanal software. Applications created by real people who care about their customers and want to give them great tools. Tools that enable them to write, design, and create without running into the limits of the software they use. Tools that are designed to work together.

Eric Böhnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies

The tool does not make the craftsman, but choosing the right tool is part of the craft. We are all blessed with an operating system that comes with the tools you needed to get started, but there comes a point where we’d rather use a chisel than keep chipping away with a pocket knife. WinterFest is your opportunity to trade up to tools designed for your craft.

Pierre Bernard, Houdah 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 for Mac. The discount can also be used for purchasing upgrades but cannot be combined with other offers like, e.g., the student & educators discount. WinterFest 2020 officially starts on December 17th, 2020, and ends on January 5th, 2021. Participating companies may choose to keep their offer open longer.
