Together overview

Together helps you organize your Mac, giving you the ability to store, edit and preview your files in a single clean, uncluttered interface.

Together Features
  • Smart storage. With simple drag-and-drop functionality, Together lets you gather up images, text, bookmarks, and files for safekeeping. With built-in note-taking capabilities and easy inter-app file transfers, take control of cluttered, disorganized groups of files and restore them to a state of order and manageability.
  • Previewing and editing. Together can edit and preview a wide range of filetypes, and seamlessly incorporates QuickView for everything else. File editing is always a double-click away, and your changes are automatically synchronized.
  • Organization, optimized. If you are tired of dealing with scatterbrained systems of files and folders, Together's refreshing, iTunes-like interface will help you breathe easy. Organize items into groups and folders, add color-coded tags and labels, and even generate Smart Groups to bring new levels of order and control to your files.
  • Dynamic searching. With Together, searching your files is never limited to a single term: an integrated Find Bar offers fine-tuned searching, and intra-file search capabilities let you dig even deeper for the information you need.

What’s new in version 3.8.8

Version 3.8.8:
Changes:
  • Fixed an issue where the the app could hang at startup when the previously viewed file is a linked file whose original has been removed in the meantime.
  • Added the ability to export all the files in a library in open formats for use in other apps, including metadata in either JSON or property list format. Notes are exported as RTFD files, linked files are copied, and encrypted files can be decrypted before export or skipped (the files in the library are unaffected). The folder structure is preserved, with "un-filed" files at the top level. Metadata includes info about files and folders, tags, groups and labels. Choose File > Library > Export Library from the menu to use this feature.

I still use it. Despite some its issues. There were features (sidebar and the buggy multi- library) and UI choice (Library and items sections) that made up for the minor issues. Steve is a great developer and a good guy. He is also an artist. Talking to an artist about his work. Well.. LOL

A lot of people rate this (and similar apps) quite highly. However, I find "Finder" > "Cmd-F" (+ selected variable "search" parameters) allow me to perform 95% of this, and other file sorting apps functionality, without having to worry about eccentric developer commitments and coding methodology. Notwithstanding, Finder is free. Enjoin it with Automator and it creates a delusion of Dictatorial proportions.

The discussion below explains the reason I don't use this type of "Everything Bucket" apps. Users are forced to spend so much time to migrate from one solution to another every time some developers decide that it isn't worth developing and maintaining their apps. That isn't necessarily wrong, except that this type of apps often keeps your data in a roach motel. Once it's in there, it's tough to get them out. And don't even get me started on how they have Import/Export feature under the File menu. There is no guarantee they will always work. Journler (now defunct) had them, but it stopped working at some point, and I had to figure out a weird and tedious workaround. Evernote's Export feature choked on me many times when I tried to export 2,000+ entries in it. The usual "open a support ticket" routine ensues, and you are bound to waste the next couple of weeks trying to figure out why you can't get any response from your app developer.

I freed myself of all of that by establishing my workflow outside these apps: Markdown text files and folders. I just use whatever the best tool available at the moment to edit my data in open format. I don't need to spend time tinkering and worrying about what the future might hold for each app. They all come and go, so you are better off keeping all your data in open format as much as possible.

You might think that the file and folder method is clumsy, but I found it just as effective as using an Everything Bucket app. I can keep tags inside a text file, and Spotlight can pick them up. A thoughtful file name with some tags at the end of each file name also does the trick. Elegant? Nope. But it works everywhere where the OS has a search function, and my tags are not lost by moving to another computer. And it's super-reliable and predictable. That's more important than some non-essential conveniences Everything Bucket apps might provide.

As noted by Javier, Together has been replaced. The new app is here and had a special price for Together users and a 15-day trial. Be curious to see others experience and thoughts here. http://reinventedsoftware.com/keepit/

Together has been discontinued. Follow the apple steps: It is replaced by a new app, which in appearance, remove capabilities (no encryption, simpler). We will see the result....
