I suggest you take a look at Evernote (available on all platforms) which is a great substitute. (yet it too me a while to port all links from SB to Evernote.

Three regrets (by descending order of importance):
The proprietary format of the database means entries don't show up in Spotlight and you can actually "lose" data by forgetting it was in SB.
The weird "update" behavior (I had to figure out where to locate my "old" database before deleting it myself -- otherwise the updated software could not read the new database.
The lack of export format options.

The software is rarely updated and it's about time it officially supports Dropbox syncing (imagine how long will it take to have iCloud syncing).

Like others have said it appears to have been abandoned.
I contacted the developer about improving their sync to use Dropbox or Simplenote as exporting from Shovebox is messy.
They said thanks for the suggestion & thats it.
That was months ago.
If Evernote used a Quickjot style utility I would delete Shovebox.
Very disappointed with this developer.

The developer said more than two years ago about syncing via Dropbox "Yes, sync functionality is planned".
I'm afraid it will for always be 'planned'.
Don't waste your money on Shovebox.
Use Evernote or Notational Velocity instead.

I'm not holding my breath, but I really don't want to abandon QuickJot

Shovebox is set to start both with the app prefs as well as in "login items" in the system prefs. Shovebox can be started manually and everything works fine.
I have contacted the developer but the issue didn't go away with the latest version.
Shovebox 1.1.3
OS X Tiger 10.4.11

In the future, emailing support at wonderwarp.com is a much faster way for me to find out about any problems. But thanks for the feedback!
