This week there is a new sponsor at MacSparky.com, DreamShot. I take a lot of screenshots and it is a complete pain in the neck. First you have to shoot the image. Then you have to go to some app (like email, photo processing app, Evernote, or whatever) and then you have to get your screenshot into that app and do something with it. DreamShot fixes all of the madness. When you take a screenshot with DreamShot you immediately get a menu with multiple options for how to deal with that image. You can see the options I get with the below image.

Tapping on any of these options, I can immediately email, message, tweet, or otherwise process my screenshot. The list is dynamic and changes depending on what apps you’ve got installed on your Mac. You get all of that for just $4.99. I use this app every day. If you are still not sold, the developer has a free 30-day preview available for download from their website.

Thanks Silver Beach Studios and DreamShot for sponsoring MacSparky.com

This week I’d like to welcome a new sponsor to MacSparky.com,  BEEDOCS Timeline 3D. I’ve been using Timeline 3D for years as my timeline application. BEEDOCS is an artisan software company in Seattle focused on developing useful and elegant products. 

I love the way Timeline 3D presents data cinematically. I can spend just a few minutes building a Timeline and then show off something that looks like it should have taken hours (or days) to build. Attorneys, students, educators, genealogists, and anyone else that wants to elegantly present chronological data should add Timeline 3D to their tool belt. There are versions for the Mac and for iOS. Go check it out.

I’m real excited to welcome a new sponsor this week, Cleartones. Like it or not, people judge us by our ringtones. Use one of the stock Apple ringtones and it shows you just aren’t trying. Create your own Kenny G ringtone and I lose all respect for you. For years now, I’ve been using Cleartones for my ringtones and notification sounds. There are two sets with one created digitally and the second created in a professional percussionist’s studio. They are all spectacular. There is a third set on the way and if you buy now, you’ll get 50% off the new set. 

In case you’re wondering my iPhone ringtone is the “My Favorite” Cleartone. Thanks Cleartones for supporting MacSparky.com

What happens when you combine the knowledge of a top notch graphic designer like Evan Calkins with a 1902 letterpress printing machine? Magic. This week’s sponsor is Hoban Cards. Evan Calkins got his hands on a 1500lb, 1902 Chandler and Price platen letterpress. Each order utilizes its own letterpress plate created from a digital file and is hand pressed by Evan himself. If you want a business card that stands out, look no further. I’ve already ordered my own set. I love that this business is Evan’s own personal crusade and I love what he is producing. You can watch a video of Evan in action at the Hoban Cards website.

And just because Evan digs MacSparky readers, the discount code “MACSPARKY” gets you free shipping.

If you’d like to sponsor MacSparky.com, check this out and let me know.

Starting next week, sponsorship at MacSparky is getting a lot easier. I’ve dropped out of all ad networks. If you want to buy a week, send me a note. There will only be one ad per week and the site will look better for it.
