Yojimbo – Your effortless, reliable information organizer for Mac OS X.
Yojimbo makes keeping all the small (or even large) bits of information that pour in every day organized and accessible.
If you’ve never used an information manager before, Yojimbo may seem pointless to you. But I am into this kind of applications for a while now and I know it helped me organize the chaos of the various tidbits I collect on my Macbook everyday.
What Yojimbo can do:
- It can store web archives, bookmarks, notes, passwords, serial numbers, anything that counts. Encrypted too.
- Bookmarklets! Add pages to Yojimbo nice and easy. A tag version too!
- Other information managers can do that too, but I first saw it in Yojimbo: You can print almost anything to a PDF directly stored in Yojimbo.
- Quicksilver integration. A nifty Quicksilver plugin can help you add things to Yojimbo with just a few keystrokes. Aaaah, Quicksilver, how I love thee.
- It has the simplest of simple mechanisms to add things to it. Twice.
What Yojimbo can’t do:
- If you’re not into organization much, you’ll leave Yojimbo a big mess, as the rest of your life already is.
- It does not offer a way to easily store photos. You can store them embedded in notes, though.
- No nested folders, no nested collections, no nested anything.
- Kinda poor bookmarks support, I’d prefer them to load automatically in a browser window like in DEVONthink.
- Not for the faint of pocket: at 39.99$, Yojimbo is kinda pricey for the average Joe.
