EDITOR NOTES
Yep 2.0 is a paid upgrade from 1.x.
DESCRIPTION
Yep... Photos have iPhoto. Music has iTunes. But when it comes to PDFs and other office documents, you're on your own. That is, until now. Now there is Yep and there's no looking back.

Start Yep for the first time and it automatically shows you all your PDFs, iWork and Office documents. The strength in Yep is being able to see your documents and search through them with out needing to worry where exactly you saved it to. Add your own tags to documents--which is like storing them in two places at once. Yep also has the ability to automatically file documents into a simple date based folder system located in your Documents folder. The result is that its easy to keep a running track record of receipts, invoices, research papers--without having to think about where to store it.

And you might even think that iPhoto, iTunes and the Finder could learn a thing or two from Yep.

For paper.

Every house has cardboard boxes and filing cabinets full of receipts, important medical records, old letters and income tax returns, usually inconveniently stuck in the basement somewhere.

Now that Yep makes it so easy to keep all your documents organized - whereever they lay, instantly retrievable and searchable, it might just be time to start scanning some of those paper documents into your computer and Yep will help you do it. Yeps scanning is faster and a lot nicer than the any bundled scanning software you are going to find. Say goodbye to cheesy scanner interfaces from all the big scanner companies.

In addition to creating PDFs by scanning, Yep creates text files from dragged in text without any naming or filing on your part. You can create image files the same way. Keep track of your notes and thoughts without letting the dreary job of filing getting in your way. All documents Yep creates are 'normal' files on your filesystem. No databases to worry about.

MacUpdate Testimonial

Most of the MacUpdate staff live very mobile lives. We understand what it's like to have your desks overflow with clutter from mail, bank statements, bills, letters, and other paper documents.That clutter makes our mobile lives more challenging. That's why we love Yep.

Yep helps make important documents like receipts, medical records, income tax returns, bank statements and important letters more accessible. Often these documents are stored away in filing cabinets in a storage room, or crammed in desk drawers. MacUpdate loves Yep because it helps you scan these important documents into your Mac.

Once your documents are scanned, they become instantly searchable and organized in one central location. You will no longer have to hunt for your documents all over the office or house. Yep is going to save you a lot of time and give you a digital backup copy of your documents for peace-of-mind.

Yep is scanner friendly, but doesn't require one. It can organize all of the documents already on your Mac (like PDFs). It makes them all searchable and way more organized.

One of the most amazing synergies is to combine Yep with the mailing scanning services of Earth Class Mail. Then all of the mail that normally clutters your house can be automatically scanned and emailed to you. Then use Yep to organize and retrieve that mail really quickly.

VCOLOMBO  In my opinion the 1.x versions of Yep were significantly better and more useful than the 2.x versions. If you don't like the functionality of 2.x try downloading the latest 1.x version, still linked here on the MacUpdate page. Like myself you may find it better suited for your organizational style.

PLISTOFF  Yep 1.x is NOT Snow Leopard compatible. It was announced that it was out of development. Yep 2 is waaay more powerful than Yep 1 too.

ROOSTER  This is a pretty solid application and the features are about what I would expect but since purchasing the product I have found that I get little utility out of it and when compared to the price tag I get very little return on investment.

BDIKKAT  Tried this app, and despite following all the workarounds, fixes and what-have-you's on the website, this thing doesn't find ANY documents on my MacBook Pro.

Think I'll stick with the Finder..

JFREAK365  I read a lot of reviews of Yep. I just purchased a ScanSnap, so I had to try Yep. It seems that the main thing it offers over Finder is the tagging feature. Both Finder and Yep can search folders for keywords and searchable PDF files.

The tagging feature of Yep is pretty good. However, USE CAUTION switching to a tool like this. The main problem is that Yep uses OpenMetadata rather than the document properties. This means the data is NOT PORTABLE. It will not follow to another computer (easily), nor to a file server, or different Operating System (Windows/Linux). The product seams very useful and cool at first, but when version 4 comes out and they change how they store the metadata, you will be very sorry you invested all the time tagging your files.

I've used other products that use proprietary methods to tag information and learned the hard way to not support products like this. I want any tagging or metadata stored only in the file properties. It will have much longer longevity, be platform independent, and software independent. What if you find a new product you like better in 1 year...

My trials with Yep are generally good. However, I cannot support the product because of the "vendor lock in" approach for metadata.

JIM NEUMANN  JFREAK365:

There is no "vendor lock in" of metadata. OpenMeta is closest thing Mac Users have to a standard for using arbitrary metadata. Not only that but the metadata is completely transparent to Spotlight and any other app using Spotlight technology for searching (including competitive products). It is decidely NOT proprietary. In fact, OpenMeta was created to dissolve the metadata boundaries between applications (and hopefully one day, operating systems but that requires effort on other systems developers).

GECCOH  Yep and Leap are great products, but it seems that they duplicate a lot of functions (almost all). So I have to wonder why there is a need for two separate programs?

CLAUS STERNECK  Grrr... I got YEP as a part of the MacUpdate bundle - the main reason why I bought it.

But it is not possible to enter the registration details. F.e. the name field doubles/adds by entering a new letter the already entered letters. And the mailed serial number in combination with the mail adress doenst work.

Too bad: The support of Ironic Software never helped or answered my mail (send them several mails), and the support of MacUpate never wrote back, too (I know, its not their job to help, but at least they could write back!).

So, has anyone out there an idea what to do???

JIM NEUMANN  The Support Forums are the appropriate venue for issues such as this. Please refer to your thread there for discussion.

Also, did you use another email address to request support? I have no emails at all containing your name or the email address you used to register on the Forums.

CLAUS STERNECK  the "support" said, that the email was in the spam folder, of the gmail-account.

well... why it this company using gmail for their support-mails?!!? then they should check every day - at least - this spam folder, I do it for my private mails, because a non spam mail could always defined as spam...

anyway... some days after this feedback here i got a new serial, which is working!...

HS  Sounds intriguing - short question, though, for which I couldn't find a quick answer: Does Yep offer some kind of OCR capability? Evernote does that for PDFs and JPGs in the free version, and the results are quite acceptable.

Best,

RUBAIYAT  Well I succumbed and upgraded to v2.06.

It still shows a generic icon on Illustrator .ai files that have .pdf.

Microsoft Expression Media 2 can show the preview.

CoverFlow can show the file.

Why not Yep?
