Caboodle - Everyone comes across information that they want to refer to later. Maybe gifts you've received or sent, product serial numbers, recipes, directions to someone's house, a photo of your pet, or anything else. Caboodle is a tool to help store and organize such varied bits of information.
You can arrange the items in an outline-like hierarchy, and include both structured fields and free-form text and pictures in each entry, along with web links, lists, tables, PDFs, and any other kind of file as attachments.
When you create a new entry within an existing one, the custom fields are inherited, allowing quickly creating content in an organized fashion. But you can also add or remove custom fields independently for each entry.
Entries can be encrypted to hide your most sensitive information. They can also be searched, and the Services menu is supported to quickly add or output an entry. Caboodle also supports import and export in several formats.
Version 1.1.4:
- The state of the Check Spelling While Typing menu item is now remembered across launches, so you can turn it off if you don't want it.
- Fixed a bug where new child entries might not inherit a newly added icon or custom fields.
- Fixed a bug with exporting, where a "/" in an entry Subject could cause the export to not work as expected.
- Updated the built-in Kagi purchasing tool to the latest version, which fixes some issues with Leopard.
- Switched the distribution method to ZIP archives instead of disk images, as it's simpler for everyone. Feedback welcome!
Version 1.1.3:
- Attachments are now saved to a unique temporary folder before opening (via double-clicking), to avoid mistakenly using the same file for more than one, if they happen to have the same filename.
- Enhanced the URLs for the Help menu to better support localization.
- Added German localization, thanks to Ulf Dunkel.
- Fixed the tooltip for the "keep backup" checkbox in the Advanced preferences.
- Updated the built-in Kagi purchasing tool to the latest version, which fixes some issues with Leopard.
Version 1.1.2:
- The ruler visibility state is now correctly remembered for each entry, and the default ruler state for new entries (from the preferences) is respected.
- Fixed a layout issue with the French localization.
- Fixed an error that a few people experienced when checking for updates.
- Some optimizations in the Caboodle Assistant window.
- Minor tweaks for Leopard (10.5) compatibility.
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later. Intel compatible.

CREATIVEAEON Well, I have tried Circus Ponies Notebook, and for what I need for my particular project, Caboodle is the better solution. The layout, the simplicity -- these are the key features I require in this instance. I answer a lot of the same questions over and over. Many can be answered with a template response, but I like to customize them a bit for variety. Caboodle is a terrific tool for storing and organizing my responses by topic. And more than that, it lets me group similar stored responses, which I can quickly review when I need something a bit more personalized. I can add and search Keywords as well as Subjects. It's become an invaluable tool in my work, increasing my productivity and thereby lowering my stress level. It's simple. It's easy to use. And for the tasks I use it for, it's very efficient. The customer support is fabulous as well -- prompt, courteous, helpful. Rare features in software support today. I recommend Caboodle, and I'm happy to support them! (Version 1.1.2) |

DRAGONMAGE150 Now I've searched, looked at, and downloaded specifically chosen organizing programs. Several. Right in the middle of trying them out one by one I knew when I got started I'd be using this one. This is just about the only program you'll ever need. Not too simple, not too "complicated." As it is perfect for storage, and quick notes at the same time. Be sure to keep it on your dock... and at least try it out. Is this a fake review? Not likely. (Version 1.1b1) |

BLITHE_SPHERE Caboodle is a must-have program, especially for collecting tidbits of information. Previously, the only system I had in place for storing phone numbers, random quotes, brief ideas to think about later, names, places, books I wanted to read, book ideas I wanted o write, recipes, and so forth- was in text files... which, being as usual in a hurry, I then named with such obscure names as hhjj.txt or trty.txt. Finding anything was nearly impossible, and if not impossible- at the very least, time consuming. And then I found Caboodle. I had already been reading up on programs to download in anticipation of my new Mac purchase (I was a PC user), and Caboodle was the first one I knew I absolutely had to have. I have been a user ever since, and have found the program invaluable in saving me time and stress, and for helping me to organize my thoughts while on the puter- thus helping me be far more productive than ever before. I had a little trouble using the program at first, and David was absolutely incredible about getting back to me promptly, and making sure I came out knowing what I was doing. This is one program I cannot do without. (Version 1.0) |

TMCRAE How do people live without this? It's fab. It's a great catch-all for to do lists, passwords, account #'s, snippets of info you don't know where else to put, notes, etc, etc. I use it at it's most basic level, kind of a glorified Stickies, but I know it can do more things. (Version 1.0) |
