3 months ago I bought Tier 2 of the Lifehacker bundle. I specifically bought it for DisplayFusion and indeed this application does not disappoint. It makes working with two screens significantly more convenient, and the Steam license is better than other options they offer because it can be installed on all the computers that I use. The other applications, however, didn't really become indispensable.

Tier 1 - Breevy looks useful, but I'm used to entering text blocks using macros (with my Logitech G13 keybaord), so haven't really invested time to see if this software provides a better solution. I installed Fences on two machines and haven't gotten used to it. The only positive thing is that it makes me use the Desktop less. DeskScapes I don't care about (don't care much about wallpapers and screensavers). Directory Opus 12 Light I tried and couldn't find anything of value that it actually does better than Windows Explorer. I asked in their forum and got nothing useful.

Tier 2 - DisplayFusion I already mentioned and it's excellent. LastPass Premium I don't need because I use the open source KeePass and it's just perfect for my needs, so no point in switching to a commercial alternative. CyberGhost VPN - I haven't even started my subscription, but I see the value. I probably should before it expires in May.

I didn't buy tier 3, so no Acronis True Image 2017 or Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2017, but I don't feel I'm missing too much and I'm not a fan of subscription-based software.

If you bought this bundle, or if you use these applications I'd be curious to hear what are your conclusions about them.

DisplayFusion
Breevy
Fences
DeskScapes
Directory Opus 12 Light
LastPass Premium
CyberGhost VPN
Acronis True Image 2017
Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2017

A multiple selection poll would have made sense here, but unfortunately it's not supported.

Never bought that bundle but I have and use DisplayFusion and find it a bit buggy and bloated, but pretty good overall. I find hilarious that they actually sold Bitdefender Antivirus in the same bundle: I had to uninstall Bitdefender Free to use DisplayFusion because it caused the latter to have a memory leak: memory use would continuously increase, reaching ludicrous levels. I don't know if the commercial version of Bitdefender causes the same problem but it seems likely since they must use the same underlying engine.

I'm only using Fences and am happy about it, gives me some clarity (although outside the fences my desktop still is a mess xD).
