DESCRIPTION

Together (formerly KIT - Keep It Together) is an application for storing, organizing, editing and previewing all kinds of files and can find them again quickly.

Just about anything can be dragged to Together's main window or Shelf for safe keeping. The Shelf is a system-wide window which can also be used to browse and search the library, access favorites items and make quick notes.

Items can be organized into groups and folders and the original files are always kept in the Finder. Together can preview and edit a wide variety of files and uses Quick Look for previewing files it doesn't understand.

Together uses Spotlight to search the contents of all kinds of files as you type. Together can also encrypt documents, imports files in the background, supports multiple libraries and sync with MobileMe.

SOLEFALD  Great application, but this thing is FULL of bugs.

As someone already mentioned, tags do not work, indexing does not work,

when scrolling through your files the app horribly lags, leaks memory and chews up the CPU. Only after 30-40 min of being minimized the memory usage is at 350Mb and CPU at 25%! What is this? Firefox? haha

Please fix it. I love the app, and would like to continue running it.

DOOBIEXX  Running together doesn't take up 25% of my system, of course different, but that is WAY too much cpu resources... border line ridiculous. I have been using Together for a very long time and love the app too, but instead of having to run the app all the time maybe a less resource consuming app add-on/helper can be implemented so we can enjoy all the benefits of having the together "tab" at the edge of our screen without crippling our system to a crawl. Kind of like the new devonthink "sorter" or ummm... (I know completely different kind of apps, just expressing the helper idea and how it's implemented well.) contactizer's helper... Little help app is resource conscious, lets you add/view info without opening the main app. Maybe some thought. Price comparison to devonthink pro office is blatantly one sided. Together is priced well and devonthink pro office will put you in the hole at an estimated $ 150. They do however offer 25% off if your affiliated with a school. Food for thought. Sorry to jack the thread but I did not think a new post was needed as we are both talking about reducing together's impact on the os when running from startup to shutdown. ReInvented Software, together's devs, are very responsive from my experience so hopefully something is in the works but we have to remember the more of us who complain about this issue the more likely they will move it up on the ever growing "to-do" list.

SIDRA  I was surprised by how much I liked this app. I had test driven Devonthink, Yojimbo, Evernote etc., and had pretty much settled on Devonthink after using it a couple months, even though it was a bit too robust for my needs. I hadn't heard much about Together and tried it out on a lark. I've been hooked ever since.

This is a great product -- lightweight, elegant and intuitive. Exactly what a Mac app should be. It's become indispensable to my workflow. All the digital flotsam I've collected over the years is now centralized, accessible and organized. The feature I like best is that all of my documents exist separate from the program itself. It's not tied up in a proprietary database, so if it gets corrupted, or they stop developing it, my stuff is pretty much intact. Another great feature is that I can organize things in hierarchical folders as well as with tags. Sure, there are things here and there that I'd like to see done differently, but overall, it does exactly what I need it to do. The developer is also extremely responsive, which is always helpful.

MAR6473  This is a great application. The developer has been constantly developing it. If you try it you'll see that it is much better at capturing web pdfs than other similar apps. I've been using it for quite some time and I just realized that you can Quicklook your documents right from the shelf. If you find it a bit slow when browsing I found that disabling the icon previews speeds it up a lot. It's great for notes, journaling and collecting snippets of information when doing research. It stores your notes and files in a standard file structure within your documents folder so you can use other file browsers if you want.

JAZZADDICT  It's getting better all the time. The newly reorganized tag area makes things much easier. My tag list was getting out of control. Auto-tags is sweet. I haven't tested it's usability but it's nice to see it's there. I think the big one everyone wanted to see was the ability to rearrange tabs. Clutch!

Thanks Steve for another solid update!

JAZZADDICT  and to think this use to be K.I.T.! I had totally forgot till a second ago. I didn't like that app. Was using Yojimbo at the time. Not no more! Together is the best PIM I've scene on the OS X yet.

DONPERREAULT  Love the ability to edit an webarchives in Together. I edit out advertisements & comments. This is the most feature rich application of its kind and I've tried most all of them.

JAZZADDICT  I really enjoy using Together. The feature set is best in its class. I consider Together my 'digital hub'; It's where everything comes together on my mac. It is one of my most used 3rd party apps. My favorite things about Together are the tag implementation, the intuitive interface, and the import process.

My biggest gripe with the program is that the interface can get sluggish on my ppc and require restarts to speed things up. I notice interface sluggishness in Together more than other apps, but it's not to bad. On Intel I'm sure it's much quicker.

Good developer. Handles support pretty well and is excellent at fixing bugs and implementing feedback.

peace

ATA  I'm still working with the demo but so far so good. It is more feature complete than Yojimbo but custom icons on folders look really bad on this. I'm suspecting it's because it's at 32 x 32 pixels or even smaller. When I use the same custom icons in Yojimbo they look much nicer and are easier to see. Other than that little annoyance, I think I'm going to buy this app when my demo ends. I just hope the developer doesn't abandon development for it.

ATA  Just took a screenshot of both Together and Yojimbo and it looks like the custom icons are anti-aliased on Yojimbo. That is probably why they look much nicer. Hopefully the developer will fix this in an update.

DONPERREAULT  Best app of it's kind. However, the auto tag feature is useless. Every time the developer upgrades the Together I try the auto tag feature again and each and every item I import it tags wrong. Other than the auto tag feature, Together is the best!

ALEXIUSCA  Love it -- Together is just a few updates away from replacing Yojimbo for me once and for all. However, I find the interface in general a bit sluggish, on my MBP window resizing is quite painful. Also, I love how Yojimbo let's you tag super easily. Together doesn't do quite as smooth a job with keyboard navigation. Suggestions?

GCOGHILL  I too found the interface sluggish until I turned off the icon previews in the View Options palette. Now it's super fast. The developer should consider either fixing the speed with icon previews, or turn it off by default. I almost gave up on this app after importing a bunch of text files, the speed was so slow.

JAZZADDICT  Even with that fix it still runs pretty slow on my dual 2.0 g5 compared to other apps. The interface crawls sometimes. Probably runs a lot quicker on intel systems. My g5 doesn't feel as quick as it used too. It doesn't handle spotlight as quick as intel systems and Together relies on that a lot. Like when clicking through tags. A bit sluggish. Oh well. Hopefully I'll get a macbook soon. peace.

JSEARL  THis is head and shoulders above 'similar' products such as MacJournal or Journler - if only because itr enders both Pages and Numbers (through Quicklook) . I bought it minutes after using it for the first time. Awesome.
