Eter 2.0: New Look, New Features!

Eter 2.0: New Look, New Features!

Eter: Streaming Internet Radio is not just a radio app—it’s your portal to over 40,000 global radio stations and it’s filled with great features!

Before we tell you more, let’s first step back in time… the story of how Eter came to Apparent Software is an interesting one. It starts at Macworld 2011. Apparent founder and senior dev Jacob had a booth there at Macworld and, of course, met a lot of press back in those days when there were loads of people writing articles on slim slices of dead trees. One of them was Krystian Kozerawski, a Polish tech blogger (see the photo from back then below). Jacob and Krystian became fast friends, in part because of their common love for similar music and both being guitarists, having played in bands. They kept in touch and a few years later Krystian decided to become a Swift developer and then he joined Apparent Software as a Junior Developer, more than 5 years ago. He developed Eter as a side-project and it became quite popular in Poland. He then suggested to bring it into Apparent Software’s fold because, as he says, he treats us like a rock band and the app is like a song that he brings to the band. Which is a really nice notion, if you ask us. And now, back to the app!

Sale prices start Wednesday, November 22 and run through Tuesday, November 28. Here are all the details, with prices shown in USD:

Cashculator — Personal Finance for Mac. Save 50% off the first year of an annual subscription. That means you get a year of access to easy-to-use cash flow forecasting and budgeting for just $24.99. You might save more than that the very first month you start taking a closer look at your finances with Cashculator! Note: Cashculator is always free to use with up to five income or expense categories, perfect for simple budgets, teaching financial concepts, or just to try before you buy. You can also choose to subscribe monthly, in which case you can use it with unlimited categories for the first week for free and then pay $5.99 a month thereafter. Learn more about Cashculator here.

Trickster: Recently Used Files. Save 50% off Trickster’s regular pay-up-front price. Pay just $14.99 for this time-saving productivity powerhouse! At its simplest, Trickster answers “Where is that file I was just working on?” But it’s also packed with power user settings and integrations with Hookmark and DEVONthink so you can work faster and more easily with all your files.

Eter: Streaming Internet Radio is a free iOS, macOS, CarPlay, watchOS, and tvOS app that plays any internet radio station listed in the radio-browser.info database. If you want to save your own favorites (which then work across all the app’s platforms) or use the sleep timer to drift off to your favorite station, you would usually pay $4.99 for a one-time in-app purchase to unlock these premium features. That’s a ridiculously low price already, but hey, the holidays are on the way, so we also made Eter half off right now, bringing the price to just $2.49!

Calm My Dog: Anxiety Training is the newest addition to our app portfolio and came out of our designer’s real-life experiences with his dog. Squeaks, a pandemic pup, needed gradual desensitization training to learn to stay home alone. Anyone who’s using this method knows it’s hard work and part of that work is tracking and timing the training sessions, which this iPhone app does for you. During our Black Friday sale, purchase a lifetime subscription for half off, $49.99 for fur-ever access. Note: you can add as many dogs as you like, so this tool works for trainers as well as individual owners. Learn more about Calm My Dog and download free training resources here.

Educational articles on framing and matting

Are you interested in the history of picture frame? Or perhaps you need some tips for choosing the perfect frame for your art work? What are the main rules of framing the photo?

Every month we will add articles with interesting facts about framing, as well as sharing tips to mount your artwork. Let us introduce our first article – Why a picture frame?

Why a picture frame?

A frame for a picture is like a beautiful dress for a woman. It serves to emphasize the important details, hide the disadvantages, and create a complete, perfect image. Many private owners and art galleries exhibit their paintings without frames, but this is a huge mistake. An unframed picture looks far less impressive than it could because the painting itself is rarely self-sufficient and lacks a complete form. In most cases the right framing is necessary to complete the image…
