Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — DEVONtechnologies and fifteen like-minded makers of genuine Mac software have teamed up for their traditional winter celebration of hand-crafted software for writers, designers, and thinkers.

WinterFest is not an old-fashioned bundle but a collaboration of independent software developers dedicated to creating useful, solid software for writing, creating, and researching on the Mac. Each product found here is the work of a small team or individual design, and the product of thoughtful reflection on the challenges that face the people who use their software. They bring devoted craftsmanship to a field too often dominated by corporate blandness.

I strongly believe that indie software on the Mac is what makes them so much more useful for daily work. And when applications tightly work together, this power multiplies. The recent integration between DEVONthink and Trickster is but one such example of a fruitful collaboration.

Jacob Gorban, Apparent Software

Information technology is taking over more and more aspects of our lives and software has become the central element. But with the expansion of the software business came also concentration on fewer and much larger players. But you don’t set up individual workflows, do fine-tuned research, or solve non-standard problems with standard software. The WinterFest apps are all from small, independent software makers that understand how you work and what your challenges are. They have a clear focus on what writers, researchers, and knowledge workers need. And it shows in their products.

Eric Böhnisch-Volkmann, DEVONtechnologies

All participating companies offer discounts on their WinterFest products. For DEVONthink and DEVONagent Pro the 25% discount can also be used for purchasing upgrades but cannot be combined with other others like, e.g., the student & educators discount. WinterFest 2021 officially starts on December 21st, 2021, and ends on January 11th, 2022. Participating companies may choose to keep their offer open longer.
