So if you are like me than you have been looking at bartender for a long time, but you didn't buy it because of its price. And if thats the case than this post is for you. So recently I found a great free alternative, some of you might have already heard about it. It is called vanilla and it is pretty good. It is an alternative to BarTender Label Printing software and offers all the similar services with some new features such as thousands of pre-defined, industry-standard label formats, etc. It is a simple and easy-to-use software that is available to use on multiple operating systems, and you can access it anytime, anywhere around the world.
Almost every top/must have/best Mac apps list in existence for the past couple of years is recommending Bartender – a simple app that hides away menu bar icons until you need them and so both saves space and stops distractions.
So far so good. The only problem with the app is that it costs $15. I mean, when you pay a few thousand bucks for a non user upgradable, with no ports, that breaks easily and it’s super hard to repair laptop, yeah… 15 bucks for an app seems like a bargain.
But what if i told you that you can get the same functionality, for free, from an open source app? Enter Dozer….
