A new Web site called "Mac App A Day" is attempting to increase the visibility of Mac developers by offering a different application for free each day in December. Five thousand application licenses will be given away each day starting Dec. 1 and continuing until New Year's Day.
From the Mac App a Day Web site: "The idea of giving away popular Mac OS X applications for free, or with extended trials, is great for the end user. It means they don't need to dig into their pockets and bank accounts to get their hands on some of the great software that has been lined up.
"It's also beneficial to the developers who have offered to contribute to this line up. Not only does it give further awareness of the applications, but also will give the users a better taste of the software, and hopefully encourage further sales of the applications in the future.
"It's a win-win deal for both the users and developers."

The official list of applications is being kept secret, so we'll just have to wait and see what goodies will be offered up for your holiday downloading pleasure.
