An efficient cleaning utility and a cool remote-desktop tool for your VMs

Parallels Inc. is running a promotion offering three apps for the “affordable” price of €124.93 / $168.64, which is said to save you €74.94 / $101.16. The bundled extras are CleanMyMac 2 and Parallels’ own Access app for iPad.

Granted, the price isn’t too attractive at first glance, but I can tell you right now all three apps are winners.

The bundle includes Parallels Desktop 9, the newest version of the best virtualization tool on the market, which offers support for the upcoming OS X Mavericks and offers a reported “40% faster disc speed compared to Parallels Desktop 8.” Who uses discs anymore?

Parallels Access, the second bundled app, is a sidekick tool for iPad users designed to remotely control your virtual machines from your iDevice. In essence, it puts Windows on your iPad.

Finally, CleanMyMac 2 is one of the best cleaning utilities on the market. Parallels calls it a “Simple yet surprisingly powerful application for keeping your Mac clean, organized, and free of files that slow it down.”

I concur. In my testing, CleanMyMac 2 is one of the few tools out there that declutter a Mac intuitively, safely, and (most importantly) efficiently. Considering this app alone sells for like €40/$54, the bundle is a no-brainer.

Oh, and hurry up! The offer ends today. Visit Parallels to take advantage of this offer now.
