Quick Capture for Obsidian (iOS) is 50% off its one-time purchase (final price $3.99)

EagleFiler is 25% off (final price $44.99) with coupon BLACKFRIDAY2024

TaskHeat is allegedly 70% off the price of the full version, but if true, given the current $14.99 in-app purchase price in the App Store that means that the app’s original price was $50, which doesn’t sound right. (In 2021 it was $10.)

Mellel (Mac only word processor) is on sale for 30% off. Regularly $69.99, now $48.99. You can bundle Bookends with Mellel for a total of $80.49 for both,
It’s not like Word. You can use it like a simple text editor without a learning curve. To take advantage of all Mellel has takes a little time. I found it worth the investment.
(Many paragraphs fawning over the power of Mellel omitted.)
Mellel’s most recent feature is Mathjax support.
I think its support for epub is unmatched among word processors. I feel no need for Vellum. It reads and writes a variety of file formats, but works best with its own proprietary format.
“Proprietary” is not descriptive, though. Mellel documents are XML in zip files. BBEdit will directly open Mellel files, which are very simple to understand. I don’t feel locked in by Mellel’s document format. My text remains mine.
Mellel probably isn’t for everyone. For those it works for, it’s awesome.
