EagleFiler makes managing your information easy. It lets you archive and search mail, Web pages, PDF files, word processing documents, images, and more. Use it to collect information from a variety of sources. Browse different types of files using a standard three-pane interface. Organize them into folders and annotate them with tags and notes, or leave everything in one folder and pin-point the information you need using the live search. Since EagleFiler stores its library in Finder format, you can use it in concert with the other tools in your Mac ecosystem.

This is by far the best of the bucket apps so why don't I use it, because there is no iPad App. I use Yojimbo, which is limited compared to Eaglefiler, but It has an iPad App. Voodoo Pad has iPad too and now syncs properly via drop box instead of this only keep one app open.

Please make an iPad app!

Question - has anyone migrated to EagleFiler from SOHO Notes and if so, how has it been?

Well, having made the switch over, I can answer my own question for the benefit of anyone else who was in the same position as me. Exporting notes and data from SOHO Notes then importing same to Eaglefiler is relatively straightforward, you just have to take the time to tag your notes again (it’s all about the tagging, so its quite essential that you make the time to do that). If you have 10,000 notes though, this is obviously going to be a bit of a problem. However, if you can manage to load and tag all of your notes over, it’ll soon become apparent that Eaglefiler is just so much better. Gimmick-free, faster, simpler, better organised and a reliability which gives you confidence. Excellent Mac software from an established developer. I should have started using this years ago.

does anyone know if devonthink pro is the only app in its category (eaglefiler, together, yojimbo, etc.) which can create an index of files/folders in their original locations (including an external disk, for example) instead of just the usual copy/move/alias to its own library?

i want to edit/rename text files in the app without having to copy/sync the changes back into the original location.

thanks.

I've been using EagleFiler for at least 2 years now, and it has gradually taken over almost everything that I used to do with files and folders. I have 3 libraries: One for my main research and reading documents, one for the courses I teach, and one for computers and hobbies. Total documents approximately 10,000. One key to its value is that all files stay in their original formats and can be accessed by any other program.
One reason it's faster to manage files than the Finder is ease and speed of searching; another is the automatic preview of almost any kind of document.
i'm trying to give 5 stars on "Features" but I'm running into a bug on Macupdate.

I keep coming back to this app in my search for the perfect bucket, I like it, I like what it can do....however. its one let down at the moment is it has no iPad app. And as the mac market develops this is a major let down.

C-Command makes some great software and EagleFiler is right up there.

I'd give a full five stars except for the performance hit the app takes from using the PyObjC framework. For whatever reason I've noticed the lag even more having gone to OS X 10.7.

In any case, anyone looking for a digital information keeper/organizer should highly look at EagleFiler.

I'm a very long term Devon user. Before that I used MarcoPolo (any really old Mac users reading this?). I found I wanted something smaller, lighter, faster and separate from Devon to use just for code snippets and resources such as icons, screen captures, etc. as I develop a project.

Eagle Filer is the answer and then some. I tried Yojimbo but there are too many file types that it simply won't accept. With Eagle Filer, whatever I drag into the window or drop pane goes right in the database with no problem (so far). It is fast and simple to use. It can be password protected (paranoid programmer that I am).

This simplifies my work environment. No separate code snippet tools, no graphics library manager. Between Eagle Filer and ShadowClipboard (my preferred clipboard manager), I can leave out everything else and have exactly what I need to be productive and not waste time fiddling with all my productivity tools, as I'm so prone to doing.

It's simply too bad that Eaglefiler has a rather rigid interface layout. The file list is always above the viewing pane. You have no choice in the matter. It makes the vertical space rather cramped. Most of the other personal informations managers got this right, though.

In eaglefiler, if you have a lot of items in a folder, you can adjust things so that you can see more of those items, OR you can adjust it so that you can see more of what you are editing/viewing, BUT NOT BOTH. arggggh! I hope this changes soon.

This is mitigated only by

We're planning to add more layout options in a future version. One technique that might help you is to open a second window. You can have one window that shows more of the list and one that shows more of the viewer and flip between them using the keyboard or Exposé.

That's great news, thanks. Also, it would be nice if the entire Quick View window were easily navigable with the keyboard. Specifically I think it would be an improvement if I could just do a quick Ctrl+Tab to start entering tags for the text I just wrote, instead of having to reach for the mouse and click on the metadata tab.

Anyway, I'm taking the trouble to say all of this because I do like Eaglefiler.

Yes, I plan to add some more keyboard shortcuts to the Quick Entry window. If you have further feature requests, please feel free to send them to eaglefiler@c-command.com

Please add the alternative widescreen layout with list beside content window. I'm an owner of EagleFiler and don't use it because of the current layout scheme.

Well things change. Overnite the new version came out and no longer supports Drop Box making the $104.00 spent on 3 lic #'s a loss.

To bad they went back to isync.

What are you talking about? EagleFiler 1.4 still works with Dropbox. It didn't, and still doesn't, use iSync.

Since EagleFiler stores its library in Finder format, you can use it in concert with the other tools in your Mac ecosystem.

EagleFiler in a nutshell:
  1. With a single keypress, import Web pages, mail messages, or any file on your Mac.
  2. EagleFiler stores them in an open format: regular files and folders that are fully accessible to your other applications.
  3. Optionally: encrypt the files, add tags, notes, color-coded labels, and other metadata.
  4. Browse by folder or by tag, or use the live search to find the information you need (faster than Spotlight).
  5. View, edit, or create documents directly in EagleFiler's streamlined interface, or double-click to edit using another application.
EagleFiler is a digital filing cabinet, a research assistant, and a snippet collector. You can use it to write a journal, track all the files for a project or job, save your favorite Web articles, store financial statements, run a paperless office, plan a trip, collect your course notes, archive your e-mail correspondence, search mailing list archives, research a purchase, remember recipes to cook or books to read, store scientific papers, gather legal case notes, or assemble a scrapbook. It's the most flexible tool on your Mac.
