What is Yep? Well, photos have iPhoto. Music has iTunes. But when it comes to PDFs and other office documents, you're on your own. That is, until now. Now there is Yep and there's no looking back.

Start Yep for the first time and it automatically shows you all your PDFs, iWork and Office documents. The strength in Yep is being able to see your documents and search through them with out needing to worry where exactly you saved it to. Add your own tags to documents--which is like storing them in two places at once. Yep also has the ability to automatically file documents into a

It's bad. The developer has a really haphazard support process and there are several bugs documented on their forums that haven't been resolved in almost 2 years.

I think Yep could be a good application but I'm one of many users who feel disappointed in the progress being made on this software and the lack of a real roadmap on where it's headed.

I would recommend DEVONthink over Yep and Leap.

Where's the demo? The older listed demo above doesn't even work for Snow Leopard. How does the developer expect to generate sales without one?

Bought product from App Store, but never downloaded. Apple says problem exists with Yep alone, but the Yep people (Ironic Software) will not send me my app even though they know I've purchased it. Why?
Otherwise this is a fine application.

Not sure what difficulties you are having ... But, for me, Yep downloaded from the App Store just fine, as did the company's other software, Leap. Indeed I have had no problems whatsoever.

For me, Yep has always been a four-star product. I have used it since version 1.x. The latest version I bought from the App Store.

Where did the folder view in Yep 3.0 go? Leap 3.0 still has it, but in Yep 3.0 I cannot seem to find any way to see my list of folders next to the tag column as shown in the screenshot above. Please don't tell me they got rid of it as it's next to impossible to organize files without a proper folder tree.

This is why I wish the MAS had never come into being. I am sick of having to repurchase apps I already own to get an update, which often isn't a real update, just a new license. This is my reward for buying 3 of their products?

I own, recommend and still use the 1.8.0 version and will not upgrade because of problems with the 2.x versions but now I *especially* will never upgrade because of the App Store restriction.

I agree, it's a great app, and I've used it a lot, but the new features imho don't warrant a major version increment from 2.x to 3.x especially given that spotlight is able to perform many of Yep's primary features now.

Ironic Software's products used to be just great but now... what's up?

I suspect, judging on how they behaved in these 2 years and... on these "new" versions (nothing new at all if not, as in Fresh, deeply worse than old ones), there's someone else behind the company who only tries to maximize profit without any further investment and development

Until someone proves me wrong, I am very, very sad to say: beware!

Thank you, I feel the same way... most companies at least offer support, or a way to update if you've had it less then a year. I've however had all the apps less then a year then I learn they won't even offer updates to me anymore and I'm not entitled to the upgrades because I didn't get it in august... As far as I know deep didn't even have a major version number switch however I have to pay to get a subversion upgrade? Not cool.

Can anyone suggest an app similar to Yep, but for Windows 7? Paperport can do some similar tasks, but is overkill for the simple tasks I need it for. Thank you.

In my opinion the 1.x versions of Yep were significantly better and more useful than the 2.x versions. If you don't like the functionality of 2.x try downloading the latest 1.x version, still linked here on the MacUpdate page. Like myself you may find it better suited for your organizational style.

I have long-used the Yep, Deep, and Leap products from this particular developer.

They are good products, and the support has been fine.

Frankly some online reviewers are wholly unfair to the software developers. Some software does deserve to be panned, big-time in some case. But other software not.

And some reviewers' motives are less than genuine.

Yep v2.x is a far more useful product than v1.x. It is perfectly fine.

Come on guys, give the developer credit!

I use Ironic Software's products, as well as EagleFiler and other third-party products.

Still won't see pdf compatible Illustrator files.

I'd love to be able to get all my graphics in one place and sort them, but the developers don't get this functionality, and I find it pointless to have it only work with some of my files. v2 strayed even further from this goal.

This is a pretty solid application and the features are about what I would expect but since purchasing the product I have found that I get little utility out of it and when compared to the price tag I get very little return on investment.

Grrr... I got YEP as a part of the MacUpdate bundle - the main reason why I bought it.
But it is not possible to enter the registration details. F.e. the name field doubles/adds by entering a new letter the already entered letters. And the mailed serial number in combination with the mail adress doenst work.
Too bad: The support of Ironic Software never helped or answered my mail (send them several mails), and the support of MacUpate never wrote back, too (I know, its not their job to help, but at least they could write back!).
So, has anyone out there an idea what to do???

Ironic Software (developer) replied on 25 Nov 2009
We had an issue with 2 - 2.0.4 where on initial startup only Yep would not show any documents for a period of time which ranged from 5 mins to several hours. What was happening is that sometimes the Spotlight database 'got behind' on keeping up with all the documents added in the initial run. So simply waiting with or without Yep running would solve the problem. After the initial hump, everything goes back to normal, and tens of thousands or more documents can be handled with ease.
We got some support emails like this, then on following up, we find that everything is working. 2.0.5 and later largely solve the problem, but if you have a slower computer and a lot of documents it could still take a while to organize everything at the start.

Be sure to trial before upgrading.

I upgraded to Yep 2.01 and now it won't find *anything*. Tried all the authors' suggested fixes (delete all prefs, re-index Spotlight) with no result.

Yep 1.x works fine so I'll have to drop back to that.

I've just installed 2.0.6 and it doesn't find anything. I even dragged a file over there, and after entering tags and description for it, Yep “forgot” it was there after 3 minutes. I've set up preferences for it to search in all the places where I keep PDFs, DOCs, etc, and nothing. Not one file found. Weird.

I agree with JMAX, auto tagging doesn't seem to work. I thought it would actually search through for words within the currently selected document?? But it gives me random words which have nothing to do with the pdf I'm looking at? :(

What is Yep? Well, photos have iPhoto. Music has iTunes. But when it comes to PDFs and other office documents, you're on your own. That is, until now. Now there is Yep and there's no looking back.

Start Yep for the first time and it automatically shows you all your PDFs, iWork and Office documents. The strength in Yep is being able to see your documents and search through them with out needing to worry where exactly you saved it to. Add your own tags to documents--which is like storing them in two places at once. Yep also has the ability to automatically file documents into a simple date based folder system located in your Documents folder. The result is that its easy to keep a running track record of receipts, invoices, research papers--without having to think about where to store it.

And you might even think that iPhoto, iTunes and the Finder could learn a thing or two from Yep.

For paper.

Every house has cardboard boxes and filing cabinets full of receipts, important medical records, old letters and income tax returns, usually inconveniently stuck in the basement somewhere.

Now that Yep makes it so easy to keep all your documents organized - whereever they lay, instantly retrievable and searchable, it might just be time to start scanning some of those paper documents into your computer and Yep will help you do it. Yeps scanning is faster and a lot nicer than the any bundled scanning software you are going to find. Say goodbye to cheesy scanner interfaces from all the big scanner companies.

In addition to creating PDFs by scanning, Yep creates text files from dragged in text without any naming or filing on your part. You can create image files the same way. Keep track of your notes and thoughts without letting the dreary job of filing getting in your way. All documents Yep creates are 'normal' files on your filesystem. No databases to worry about.

MacUpdate Testimonial

Most of the MacUpdate staff live very mobile lives. We understand what it's like to have your desks overflow with clutter from mail, bank statements, bills, letters, and other paper documents.That clutter makes our mobile lives more challenging. That's why we love Yep.

Yep helps make important documents like receipts, medical records, income tax returns, bank statements and important letters more accessible. Often these documents are stored away in filing cabinets in a storage room, or crammed in desk drawers. MacUpdate loves Yep because it helps you scan these important documents into your Mac.

Once your documents are scanned, they become instantly searchable and organized in one central location. You will no longer have to hunt for your documents all over the office or house. Yep is going to save you a lot of time and give you a digital backup copy of your documents for peace-of-mind.

Yep is scanner friendly, but doesn't require one. It can organize all of the documents already on your Mac (like PDFs). It makes them all searchable and way more organized.

One of the most amazing synergies is to combine Yep with the mailing scanning services of Earth Class Mail. Then all of the mail that normally clutters your house can be automatically scanned and emailed to you. Then use Yep to organize and retrieve that mail really quickly.
