Caboodle overview

Note: Caboodle is no longer under development, and it is no longer available for sale.

Caboodle allows users to store and organize varied bits of info. 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.

I upgraded to version 2.0.4 after Before Dawn acquired the app from Dejal and I've been waiting for a while to work with it, because I was hoping the newly added search function might be fixed. I haven't been able to get any matches by using the built-in search function. I had collected a couple of hundred entries in a single document using the old Dejal version and was hoping to be able search the different entries. I haven't been able to get search to work in a newly created document, either. I contacted Before Dawn support, but didn't get a reply. I saw another report of search difficulty without any solution, but I don't seem to be able to access the user submissions for support anymore to view follow-up. The Troubleshooting link in the online Caboodle User Guide yields a 404 (not found) error.

I have been using Caboodle for about three years and love it. It just works flawlessly and is extremely easy to learn and use. I've had a couple of technical problems (mostly when having to reinstall the program after hard drive crash) and always got a response to my tech support inquiries within a couple of hours. I recommend this app without hesitation. --JN

A promo on an application that has not been updated for two years looks a bit weird to me. Spring cleaning? It used to be (and still is in a way) a nice app but it is so far behind its competitors that it seems unfair to make the old man fight on his last days. Thanks and RIP.

Caboodle is a great tool for getting snippets of information: text, pictures, webpages... and organize them into a database. Similar to Devonthink, but CHEAPER, FASTER and with a NICER interface... and with MUCH LESS features. But 90% of us needs just what is in Caboodle. I could like this soft very much... if I used it everyday. But I found Evernote. It does almost the same (except for webpages) and its database is accessible from everywhere. And it's free. So...

Sorry - I omitted to mention Dejals other product that complements this perfectly - Blogassist. Windows based internet marketers are paying nearly $50 for something not nearly as effective. And no, I'm not married to anyone at Dejal - I'm just a happy buyer.

I'm a Mac using Affiliate Marketer and Product reviewer, which puts me most of the time behind the 8 ball; as there is virtually no internet marketing software available on the Mac platform (with the exception of Adobe Air based ones). In Caboodle I've found something that fits the bill perfectly for what I need - the ability to visit sites, save data and images and then write reviews on them for publication. I need ease of access, subject heirarchy, simplicity,security and stability. Caboodle gives me all this and for less than the price of a takeaway meal. A major step forward for my productivity. Thank you.

I used iNote Pad for years. Caboodle gets a 5 star overall rating. It is stable, inexpensive, and has more useful features than any other pad that I have used...and I have tried every notepad that is available. AWESOME APP!

I am going to have to further downgrade the rating for Caboodle and abandon it. I used the Serials table to enter my long list of shareware purchases and serial numbers. A few weeks ago as I added more rows to the table it fell apart into plain text with each cell on a new line. Without an undo I was now stuck with trying to reconstruct the table bit by bit. I had noticed how clumsy the table structure was before and this now confirms it is just a house of cards, which I do not want to reassemble repeatedly. Searching and sorting were practically non-existent as well so I will now look elsewhere for my solution. This turns out to have been both a waste of time and money.

caboodle is been very handy for saving website log ins and software registration and various other clippings. the only annoying part is the encryption feature that seems to be mediocre. everytime you enter the encryption code to view, it decrypt by default. I should be able to view by default but not decrypt. please fix this.

I've been a fan of Caboodle for ages. It's a great repository for notes, ideas, graphics. It has a clean interface and the sidebar makes it easy to keep files together based on subject matter. ... Very well done. mt

It is a lovely piece of software and very stable it has never crashed on me. One can find many uses because it is versatile in many ways especially exporting and importing stuff (even with via drag'n drop), it is indeed very powerful. I bought it from mupromo and for the price I thought it was a bargain and I was very happy the first few days it was like love at first sight. Simple yet intuitive GUI. Then I started to see dark clouds on my computers as the software slowed down. Even opening a simple file took literally ages. I couldn't believe it. I wrote to the developer asking for a refund, he told me that refunding policy is for those who buy the software directly from the shop. He admitted that the software slows down. He promised to solve the situation in future releases when he starts using SQLlite databases. After this discussion I had to buy another data organizing software. I literally have 20 times the information when compared to the ones I had in Caboodle, and the new software didn't slow down a bit. I feel that this a real deal breaker. So I still have the software I use it to organize my poems, at least text files doesn't slow down the software. MBP 15'' 2.33 MacOS 10.5.4. with 3GB Ram

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!

1.1 was just released tonight and I don't really have time to play around with it. Can someone give me a little feedback on the new release? I've noticed the Import/Export feature-set seems to have been expanded. The last version was a "must have" I'd like to check this out!
