ShoveBox catches all those little scraps of information that you can't act on now but would rather not forget. It sits up in your menubar, waiting for you to drag in text, images, urls, and more.
It makes it incredibly easy to get data in. Just drag it in from near any program, or use QuickJot to type it out before you have a chance to forget.
When you come up for air, ShoveBox also provides a sensible interface to sort everything you shoved during the day. And by setting up powerful importing rules, you can drastically reduce the thinking you'll have to do

It's all about spending less time processing and more time actually doing things.

I have a list of licenses for purchased shareware that are no longer developed. Hundreds of dollars invested,,,, lost because the developers changed the name of the software while reusing/recycling the code or stopped developing it altogether. From now on it's freeware or companies with long track records of providing updates or upgrade paths for their customers.

And it's not a shame at all, just A PITY that the developers haven't time to add some enhancements that I would like to suggest them but... it's A (fantastic!) FREEWARE which works still perfectly and times are hard for anyone... we must accept it!
I believe that if it would be sold for a very little price and developed continuously looking at it's peculiar very fast use and user friendliness, it would be a much larger used 'must have'!

I suggest you take a look at Evernote (available on all platforms) which is a great substitute. (yet it too me a while to port all links from SB to Evernote.

Three regrets (by descending order of importance):
The proprietary format of the database means entries don't show up in Spotlight and you can actually "lose" data by forgetting it was in SB.
The weird "update" behavior (I had to figure out where to locate my "old" database before deleting it myself -- otherwise the updated software could not read the new database.
The lack of export format options.

The software is rarely updated and it's about time it officially supports Dropbox syncing (imagine how long will it take to have iCloud syncing).

Like others have said it appears to have been abandoned.
I contacted the developer about improving their sync to use Dropbox or Simplenote as exporting from Shovebox is messy.
They said thanks for the suggestion & thats it.
That was months ago.
If Evernote used a Quickjot style utility I would delete Shovebox.
Very disappointed with this developer.

The developer said more than two years ago about syncing via Dropbox "Yes, sync functionality is planned".
I'm afraid it will for always be 'planned'.
Don't waste your money on Shovebox.
Use Evernote or Notational Velocity instead.

Shovebox is set to start both with the app prefs as well as in "login items" in the system prefs. Shovebox can be started manually and everything works fine.
I have contacted the developer but the issue didn't go away with the latest version.

In the future, emailing support at wonderwarp.com is a much faster way for me to find out about any problems. But thanks for the feedback!
