User-friendliness could be better. You can make category folders (e.g. Adobe apps), but you can't drag&drop an entry on the new folder - you have to create the entry from scratch. You can't duplicate an entry to make repeat entries easier (e.g. you got 12 apps from AppBuzzer but they don't provide an AppShelf file). You can't have a template for multiple entries.
It's a nice start, but data corruption and missing features mean I can only give 2.5 stars.

REQUIREMENTS
PPC / Intel, Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later
Huh? No one sees there's something wrong with this statement? If an PPC machine cannot install Intel ONLY Snow Leopard OS X 10.6, how can this product claim to be UB?
Either make an UB app and make Mac OS X 10.5.8 as the minimum requirement, OR have an Intel ONLY version and require Mac OS X 10.6 and later...
Sometimes I am not sure if these software developers REALLY understood what "Universal Binary" means. I just can't believe they claim this version is UB compatible on their website!

It is fast and efficient, never crashes, never gets corrupted. It now allows you to make separate folders. It does a pretty good job of scanning for serials, and allows for attachments (linked or copied). It allows you to import other databases. Mostly these features are in the other apps too, but I like the way AppShelf handles it. It only uses 2 windows (info and attachment) instead of multiple tabs, and I really like that. I
t never feels like it is bogging down the CPU on my older Mac. I think it's a great value for a great price. Reminds me of the stability and usefulness of SafePlace, which I still use to this day for my login info. (I could use SP for my licenses too, but prefer to have AppShelf for that - this way, it keeps both apps leaner without so much data to juggle / bog down. Plus, because the information is of a different nature, I like to keep it separated and not all in one app).
To me, it's one of those rare apps that's coded so well and just always works beautifully. Recommend it highly.

The database has all the fields you need, such as purchase date, version and Website, price paid, links to developer's home-page.
There is also the possibility to add notes and attach files - useful for example to store the .license file required by some programs.
Version 2 introduces the ability to scan the e-mail to find licenses, the ability to have multiple databases - such as in a Dropbox folder, as a backup - and a breakdown by categories and folders.
In recent years it has been very useful for me, especially for the many Bundles purchased with multiple licenses to manage and remember.
Websites (such as MacUpdate) provide a file .appshelf for purchased applications so they can be immediately recorded in AppShelf.

I tried to share my AppShelf Folder from the Application Support Folder via dropbox. I moved the folder to my dropbox folder and made a symbolic link at the application support folder on both machines which should share the infos. Everything works fine and easy, but ... On my disk the whole folder is about 25MB ... Unfortunately on my dropbox account its about 1.2 GB! After searching around, I found out that dropbox resolves the normal aliases an copies the targets to the dropbox. Which means, that all installed apps which are referenced in my AppShelf File are being copied to my DropBox... I could do an export and share only the exported files, but in the export-files the attachments (like an registration file or something else) are not included.
So, does anybody has an idea how to share? Or do you have a better solution?

Mistook the appshelf file for the app.
Thanks for the quick response from the developer.
