Want to Join The MacSparky Labs?

For years I’ve been running experiments while wearing my MacSparky hat. I try different apps and workflows constantly. Historically, I could not share most of those experiments because they were full of confidential client data. Not any more.

MacSparky Labs gets you behind the scenes and early access to what is going on with MacSparky tests, experiments, and new workflow ideas. There are three levels. They are additive. You get everything from the prior levels plus something more with each successive level. There’s a handy table below, but if you are word inclined, here you go. As you can see, I’ve worked hard to make sure all the lab members get some exciting content. I’ve got a lot of plans for the MacSparky Labs, and I sincerely appreciate your support.

The MacSpark Labs Wall of Love

Level 1 – Supporter

Supporters get access to:

• The MacSparky Labs blog posts
• The MacSparky Labs newsletter
• Exclusive Labs videos
• Access to the Supporter podcast feed (including the weekly Lab Report)

$5/Month or $50/Year

Level 2 – Backstage Access

At this level, you get everything from the Supporter level, plus:

• Monthly Meetups
• Friends of Dave (FOD) videos (video interviews with interesting people)
• The Meetups and FOD interviews are recorded and made available for members who can’t make it.
• Focus Sessions – Group working sessions where we all try and get some important work done, together.
• Special Field Guide Discounts
• Access to the Backstage podcast feed, which includes all content from the Supporter feed plus additional content and audio recordings of the Friends of Dave interviews and monthly meetups.

$10/Month or $100/Year

Level 3 – Early Access

At this level, you get all of the above benefits, plus early access:

• Participation and access to the monthly MacSparky Deep Dives, where I share and discuss workflows.
• Substantive blog posts and videos are often finished well before publication. You’ll get access to those before anyone else.
• The same goes for Field Guides. Once I finish a new Field Guide, it usually takes a few weeks of doing the marketing and final tweaks before release. At this level, you’ll get the opportunity to purchase new Field Guides (at a discount) and get access before they are released publicly.
• Access to the Early Access podcast feed, which includes all content from Supporter and Backstage, plus audio recordings of the monthly Deep Dive sessions

$20/Month or $200/Year

All levels can also be purchased on an annual basis, which gets you two months for free.
