Indie+Relief: Get cool apps and help Haiti

Indie developers for Mac and iPhone have joined forces to help raise money for Haiti recovery. They are selling their apps at Indie+Relief and donating all proceeds to Haiti relief funds via one of three charities:

  1. Red Cross
  2. Doctors Without Borders
  3. UNICEF

There are some amazing apps on this list. If you are a Mac or iPhone user whose been eyeing a popular app but just haven’t brought yourself to shell out the money, now may be the time. You can give to the Haiti recovery effort and get that app you’ve been wanting at the same time.

Here are the apps for iPhone I find most interesting:

  • Birdfeed, a Twitter client
  • Campfire, a 37Signals’ Campfire client
  • Instapaper Pro, which is self-explanatory (I use this)
  • Rowmote, a super-charged remote for your AppleTV, Mac and Mac apps (I use this)
  • Things Touch, the iPhone version of the popular GTD app (I use this religiously)
  • Tweetie, the best Twitter app around (I use this religiously)

If you are looking for Mac apps, check these out:

  • Acorn, an easy-to-use but powerful image editor (I’ve tried this and finally bought it today)
  • Billings, an app to track time and bill clients (I use this)
  • Default Folder X, a valuable add-on to Save menus (I use this)
  • Delicious Library 2, catalogues your music, DVDs, apps and other stuff (I use this)
  • Fetch, a pretty good ftp client
  • HoudahSpot, tags all your files on your Mac
  • MarsEdit, a desktop blogging client (I use this religiously)
  • Pukka, a Delicious Bookmarks client (I use this)
  • Things, a GTD app (I use this religiously)
  • Tweetie for Mac, a Twitter client (I use this but prefer iPhone version)

(Quick Note: I usually would link to the apps, but I want you to go to Indie+Relief and link to the apps from there.)

You’ll find more than 150 apps for sale here, ranging from productivity apps to games. Go check it out, and consider a purchase to help out Haiti relief. If you are not interested in purchasing an app, you can also find a link to the three above-mentioned charities from this site.

This sale is for Jan. 20 only, so please go see it today.
