Everyone likes getting something for nothing, especially when there's no or relatively few catches. Freebie Friday is the post where the MacNN staff find stuff that you can get, and possibly make use of this weekend, without spending a single cent. The freebies this time include lessons on how to improve the food you cook, a way to keep track of your workouts, and an extremely powerful OCR app.
Listed items are free at the time of publication, but this may change in the future, and may not even be available for free in certain markets, so check to make sure the offer is still free before taking it.
On MacNN Deals, you can help yourself get healthier by exercising right and eating good food. On the fitness front,
FITAPP Premium for iOS is an all-purpose physical activity tracker that tells you your average run speed, distance travelled, route taken, and other useful information if you want to do more with your body during workouts.
For food, consider listening to the
Four-Hour Chef audiobook. Written by Tim Ferriss, discover ways to more efficiently learn new skills, how to improve how you cook food, and even how to hunt and forage in the great outdoors.
If you, or someone you know, plays PC games, Ubisoft may have something of worth. To celebrate its 30th birthday, the Ubisoft Club is providing a
free game every month for seven months, to keep. Currently, the free game is
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, though it is noted that only downloadable PC games are being offered, and nothing that is Mac-compatible.
The current Free App of the Week in the App Store is
TextGrabber, a great tool from ABBYY to transform an image of a page of text into something you can copy and paste into other apps.
Elsewhere in the App Store, find new places to go with
Randow, add special effects to your social media clips with
Video FX Maker and Movie Maker for Instagram, turn your still images into globes with
Living Planet, and defend your land with
Brave Guardians TD.
