Ulysses vs ScrivenerPick this if you're writing a novel, script or thesis and need sections you can rearrange beside your research.
Wispr Flow vs HandyPick it if you want hold-to-talk dictation in any Mac app at no cost, with audio kept offline.

App deals: questions
When do Black Friday app deals start?
Most Mac and iPhone app sales run from about 20 November to Cyber Monday, 30 November 2026. Some start early and a few run into December. Each deal here shows its own start and end date.
Are these deals checked?
Yes. Every deal is confirmed by the developer, their affiliate team or their own pricing page before it goes up, and App Store price drops are checked automatically every day.
Do I need a code?
Most deals apply the discount automatically. When a deal has a code, Get deal copies it for you and opens the store, so you just paste it at checkout. Use the No code needed filter to see only automatic deals.
Can I get reminded about a deal?
Yes. Tap the bell on any deal. It goes into My reminders on this device, and subscribers get a last-chance email before the biggest deals end. You can share your list with a link.
Does this page stay up after Black Friday?
Yes. After Cyber Monday it keeps listing Mac and iPhone app deals, launch prices and App Store price drops all year.
How does the Textlore giveaway work?
Subscribe to The Useful Tech from this page before 30 November 2026 and you are entered. No purchase needed. On 1 December we pick 10 subscribers at random and email each a Textlore license. Textlore is our own Mac app for searching and exporting your iMessage history.
How do I get the best deals by email?
Add your email in the box at the top. On Black Friday morning you get 1 email with the 10 best deals, plus a heads-up when a big deal drops, from The Useful Tech newsletter. You can unsubscribe in 1 click.
Some links earn us a small commission at no cost to you. Those are marked as sponsored links and never change which deals we list. Prices are in US dollars and can vary by country.
