Lingon Pro Now on Sale, Fluent's Last Day at $4.99
I'm a big fan of BundleHunt,
the quarterly software sale website. Lingon Pro, app app I've covered
several times went on sale today for $4.00. It is also the last day to
get Fluent at the sale price of $4.99.
Fluent
Fluent, by presents a smart panel you interact with directly. That panel can stay persistent or disappear depending on your preference. The experience feels less like firing off commands and more like working alongside an assistant. Fluent is context-aware, supports back-and-forth conversation, and allows chaining actions together into something closer to a workflow than a single command.
Fluent also includes RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). In plain terms, that means the model doesn’t rely only on its training data — it can reference files you provide to generate responses. You can organize these files into areas like projects, emails, or a catch-all bucket for your writing style. In practice, that means it can use past examples as context rather than guessing blindly. If you’re writing a billing summary, for example, it can reference previous invoices to match tone and structure.
Everything you add to Fluent stays on your Mac. Nothing is stored in the cloud. The output quality largely depends on the quality of the material you feed it — garbage in, garbage out still applies.
It’s worth clarifying what Fluent is not. This isn’t a local, continually learning replacement for ChatGPT. It isn’t training a model on your data or improving itself over time. It simply retrieves relevant information from your files and uses it as context for each request.
Fluent’s regular price is $29.99 on the Mac
App Store. Right now, it’s on sale at BundleHunt for
$4.99
There’s a broader pattern worth noticing here: AI writing tools are starting to split into two camps. One camp gives you fast, one-shot utilities that stay invisible until needed. The other tries to become a persistent collaborator that remembers context and rides along with your workflow. Which one fits depends less on features and more on how you actually write — quick surgical edits versus ongoing conversation with your tools.
Lingon Pro
Lingon Pro has been around for more than two decades, which is practically geological time in Mac utility years. It remains one of the best GUI front-ends for launchd - the scheduling and background-task system built into macOS.
You can create jobs that run:
- whether your Mac is awake or asleep
- whether you're logged in or not
- with elevated privileges when needed
- using keep-alive rules to restart failed tasks automatically
If you run scripts, backups, or maintenance tasks behind the scenes and don't want to babysit cron files or plist syntax, this is one of the cleanest ways to do it.
