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.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 2.2.9:
- When Window > Library chosen from the menu, and the window isn't visible, Together will no longer switch to the Library group in the Groups view.
- Fixed a problem where, when removing a file from a tag, the first tag of the bundle gets selected.
- After removing a tag from a tag bundle, Together now tries to select the next closet tag.
- Fixed a problem where dragging an encrypted note drags a file that is the encrypted version but with an RTFD extension.
- The icon shown in the Group Info panel is now drawn at a higher quality for icons that have been cut and paste.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.5 or later.

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. | |

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!

XPLICIT Auto tagging doesn't work at all. One of the worst implementation of a feature I've ever seen. Imported a website (xkcd.com - that's the webcomic) and it got tagged with "coding" and "workflow". ??????? Not even the page title? Come on ...

STEVE HARRIS Together uses an Mac OS X technology called Latent Semantic Mapping for its auto-tagging feature, which works out the most likely tags based on the tags you already have used for similar content. If you look at the textual content of the xkcd home page (e.g. the very, very small print down the bottom), it actually mentions things like algorithms and mathematics, so that probably explains this case. The tagging is smart though, so if you were to change the tags on those, it will start to learn that web pages that mention both algorithms and humor are not the same as the others in your library.

XPLICIT And how often am I supposed to delete an incorrect tag? I've done it like 20 times now and still the "system" adds a wrong tag. That's what I don't need, that's what I don't have time for. So for me, that feature is crap.

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.

DOUGADAMA This product is merely ho hum. Synchronization is poorly implemented and buggy, the program is sloooow to import and the interface is nothing revolutionary. Like other projects in this category (Yojimbo/Eaglefiler/Journaler) there is a lot of potential and room for improvement.

STEVE HARRIS I didn't notice this until posting the 2.2.4 release but for the record, version 2.2.3 fixed the problem with slow imports in 2.2.2 and, thankfully, I haven't heard of any MobileMe syncing issues since Mac OS X 10.5.6 was released.

DOUGADAMA Yes too be fair synchronization does work better but it would be nice to see more synchronization options other than Mobileme. Omnifocus sets the bar in this regard. I should say that I find myself using this software much more than I anticipated (sans synchronizing) and I think it is better than much of the competition (Yojimbo/Eaglefiler/etc). For synchronizing simple notes and to do lists across computers/platforms I use Evernote and for heavy duty filing I rely on Devonthink (now in 2beta). I find I use Together at home daily as dropbox for collecting and tagging files for filing later. For this I think it is the best software going.

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.

ALEXIUSCA wow did that help, thanks!!

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.

LIAM_IMAC So far this has crashed on me twice, and i have had to force quit once when it became un-responsive. When i use the "save web page as PDF" It wont give me the option to save the file as the option is grayed out, also closing the tab on the your new import does not prompt you to save.

STEVE HARRIS Version 2.2.1 should have addressed the crashing, which was down to the new auto-tagging feature. I can't identify any crash reports using your MacUpdate name, but I'd be interested to hear from you so I could look into your problems. On the option being greyed out to save a web page as a PDF, I don't know which option you mean, and as no one else has reported a problem with this, I can't really comment. Get in touch if you need help. Thanks.

LIAM_IMAC My trouble was with the version prior to the latest update. I can now say that version 221 has solved my issues and works great. Thanks to the developer for there reply
