This is the first app I look at each day, I find it to be extremely easy to use and the bundle info is in one place. Great app and I look forward to seeing its continued development.

I think this application could be very popular if you also add mac app store app store deals that are ridiculously good, like free for a day or something like that. There are so many "deals" that listing them all is not worth it and would clutter the app but to mention major one day, few hour, events I think it's worth looking into, you could probably have devs give deals right through the app if it gets popular. Nice job overall but I'd like to see single apps not just bundles too. Maybe just me... Keep it up!

For the Mac App Store daily discounts and free deals, check the recently released Store News app from Christian Kienle. Available through MacUpdate here: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/36713/store-news or through the official website: http://store-news-app.com/.

If you run a 32-bit Intel Mac, please read the MacUpdate comments before installing.

Mid-courses aren't always a good idea. But I might be happiest with a pop up for a bundle, but a icon color change for a daily deal. Daily deals happen... daily. That's a little too often for me to have to deal with a pop up.

There are more bundles than I'd care to track myself, more than DealMac picks up. So your whatever-it-is is useful.

A good start but needs a little work. Rather than a LARGE and ANNOYING (and difficult to dismiss) notice that a new deal has been found, why not just change the icon color (a la MUMenu?).

Looking forward to seeing more bundles/deals added!

Yes, I've thought about simply changing the menu icon. I'll probably go for a compromise, offer both ways and make it configurable. -Rico

Very nice app. Good to have all the deals in one place.
Are you going to include support for other pages with bundles soon?

Yes, I try to list all current Mac bundles sites. I'm working on adding more daily deals as well.

It's nice to have an application that gives you these informations about Mac bundles.
However, the app's behavior is not so nice. After you launch it, there's no way to quit. I tried every possible key combination and nothing makes it quit.
But there's more... It even installs itself as a login item, without asking you if want that. So, the next time you boot your machine, the app is already launched. with the icon on your menubar. And again there's no way to quit.
The only way to stop it was removing it from the login items, then boot again and... send it to the trash.
I'm sorry, but this kind of behavior is unacceptable for me.

Hi there,

You can control-click or right-click anywhere in the deals window and you will get a menu with options:

From that menu you can quit the application.

You can also disable/remove the app's login item from the same menu.

Cheers,
Rico (developer)

Thanks for the info. But it would be easier if the app's window included an item to quit the app. Or if you colud quit by doing "Command+Q". Or if, just like Caffeine, you could right-click on the menubar icon and get a dropdowm menu with the option to quit the app.
And yes, I knew that I could remove the app from the login items. That's exactly what I did. But the app shouldn't add itself to the login items without asking the user if he/she wants to.

Yes, Caffeine is a great app. Right-clicking on the menu icon and Command-Q are now on the list for the next version.

Who is the developer of this program? The domain info is private and there is no real contact information on the developer's web page.

May I introduce myself: Mac Bundle Watcher is brought to you by Rico Gundermann from sunny Bochum, Germany. I added a link to the "about" page to the site. Thanks for pointing that out.

There is no uninstall that I can see. If the developer doesn't reply with an uninstall update or directions to uninstall then I will have to rate this app with a single star. I would rather not, but if they are not actively responding to posts here then that would be another reason to rate it low.

Sorry for the delay. Do uninstall, quit the app first from the context menu in the deals list (open the deals, right or control click). Then you can just move it to the Trash.

To get the fastest response for feature requests and comments, please use the feedback mechanism inside the app or on the website as I check here only so often.
