It's not an application where we can put everything in but rather where we can put anything (in a positive way).
Ideal for keeping your computer uncluttered.
And the syncing works!

Developer feels it messes with the simplicity.
Obviously they don’t have 100 folders to deal with.
I think their just lazy.

Tagging is always less work then relying on folder hierarchy. While tagging a file might take you a few extra seconds it saves several minutes when you go to find a file later. Before I tagged my files I would sometimes spend about 5,10,15 minutes trying to find a single file. The problem with folders is the more you have the more difficult they are to search though. Having more tags doesn't make things more difficult because the more tags that you apply the shorter your results become making even an enormous amount of files very manageable to search though.
I have tried programs like Leap that incorporate tags and nested folders and find that it gets to complicated.

Sure, there are many ways to have outline of your items. Punakea lets you save favorite combinations of tags. Lightroom lets you nest tags inside of other tags. This works similar to nested folders except that it is much better due to the fact that search results are updated automatically when new tags are applied that fall under the given search criteria.
“For me, searching for any text string whatsoever is just as quick as searching tags and you don't need to enter anything when adding items to a topic.”
This really depends on how many files and folders a person has. If you have a small amount of folders then this may work ok but the greater the number of folders the more difficulty there will be to navigate your files.

And why the extra space?

They are all so annoying when you come up against issues, Like Yojimbo wont accept iWork documents, devonthink has another application just to sync, whilst yojimbo syncs great with mobile me.
as to together and eaglerfiler they have parts that are good...couldn't they all just get togther and produce an application that does it all.

Aside from that, I'd also like to see:
-custom fields
-auto-backup
-a 3 column view such as Evernote or Together have
-a center screen, super simple quick entry such as Shovebox
-rules for new notes such as in Shovebox
a nicer icon
I hope someone is listening....

I finally upgraded to version 2 last week and am enjoying Sidekick a lot. I have it as a DropBox folder so I can view content on my iPhone wherever I am. It seems to me that they are going to need to do an iPad app if they are going to stay in the game long term. Also, I would like to see some support for video clips and for iWork documents. But for now it's all good.

With 6 GB of datas, the app is still very snappy! Never crashed on me. It is elegant and simple to use. Very stable and reliable. Well thought out.
I used it for ALL my archives. I have tested many archiving applications, this is the best!
The best is the search function, it returns results as I typed on a library of couple of thousand of documents.
I just hope the developer will produce more frequent updates to the program. For a program of such quality, it is a bit underdeveloped.

What I DO really wish is that they'd come up with a good solution for synching some or all documents to the iPhone. The Sidekick implementation isn't doing it for me.
I've thought about apps like Chronos Notes for this, but the stability and UI (and history) leave me wanting. DEVONthink will have a solution here soon, but its UI is awful and they don't have the multi-machine MobileMe sync that Yojimbo has which is really quite good.

I use it to store receipts, snippets of code, excel formulas I can never remember, quotations, serial numbers, etc., etc.
Sure I wish there was an iPhone app, but do I NEED one? Nope.
It's a great product from one of the very finest developers for the Mac around.

I thought, I had bought a package of programs ex. parallels and Yojimbo, but I have lost the mail from you with the codes/registration numbers.
Could you send that mail again or how do I do.
The problem is, that Yojimbo says I have ended my trial period.
Kind regards

They're fast and polite but they can't do much until they know you have a problem.
Good luck!
"Yojimbo could not communicate with the Quick Input Helper."
Nothing I've tried seems to fix the error.
Now Quick Input Panel works again...go figure.
However, .Mac syncing hasn't worked. I'm hoping this will fix it too.
