Bare Bones Software Shipped Yojimbo 1.0 for Mac OS X--Innovative Information Organizer

Bare Bones Software shipped Yojimbo 1.0, a "completely new information organizer that effortlessly fits into the flow of work and digital life...an effortless mechanism to collect, store and find information as needed."

"At some point, we've all tried to invent or adopt a filing system to manage the 'everything else' in our lives," said Rich Siegel, founder and CEO of Bare Bones Software, Inc. "Regardless of what you store and how you organize, Yojimbo works with you, never against you. You can store whatever you like in it; for example, I've been using it for everything from code snippets and web links to creating a home inventory."

Data entry follows familiar Mac user interface gestures such as copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop, a Quick Input Panel, or PDF Services from the Print menu. Searching and retrieval are instantaneous, using either Yojimbo's built-in search, or the Spotlight search system in Mac OS X Tiger. An encryption subsystem allows customers to encrypt individual data items for storage, without interfering with ease of retrieval.

Yojimbo 1.0 is $39 ($29 education; $69 family pack of 5) and it requires Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later. For more information on Yojimbo, or to download a fully functional demo version, visit Bare Bones Software's Web site. [Bill Fox]
