ShoveBox

Shenanigans. Shareware is dead. I paid $25 for this software. For comparison I paid $30 for Mountain Lion. Now a lot of the code in Mountain Lion has been recycled, but that's the point. We benefit when software is kept up to date and features are enhanced or added for incremental payments (like paying rent). What benefit do the customers who support small software companies like Wonder Warp get when they abruptly stop developing software that we have paid for. There is an implicit contract when we support these people and that has been abused by so many shareware authors. There is no restitution for us. Shareware authors are abusing our support. You purchase from Apple or Adobe or another company and you know your money is going into future development that will benefit you. It's the behavior of modern shareware authors that is destroying the concept of shareware (and also the thieves/insects that suck the life force out of software development). 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.

Still works perfectly under Mavericks...however it is no longer available to download and it appears as though the developer has shuttered his site as well; an iPhone syncing app is (likewise) no longer available either :-(

Even though there hasn't been an update to this app in five years, it still works and I still use it (on 10.9.3). In fact, I love this little app. It just sits there in the menubar and whenever I want to save something - a link, a snippet of text - it's as easy as clicking the "shove" action script on my browser's bookmark bar. Best of all, it's not integrated with some annoying cloud syncing system! Shovebox is a 5 star app but because of the lack of support, it get's 4 (Wonder Warp's website was down for a long time, now at least there's evidence that the developers are still among the living). I'd really like to see this app revived. It could use an aesthetic overhaul and possibly include some new features (maybe a good clipboard manager? Or perhaps better support for shoving images? Maybe a way to integrate it with online shopping to do price comparisions?).

App seems abandoned on both iOS and Mac OS. Developers seems busy with Steinway app for iOS and seems no more interested in releasing new versions of Mac, iPhone AND iPad ! What a pity and shame as this was once this a great app !

This is a very nice app for small note-taking, much less heavy in RAM than DevonThink or Evernote. I rely on the latter for serious document copying and indexing, but for everyday notes you can then discard easily, Shovebox is the best app i have tested. 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.
