Yojimbo overview
Yojimbo empowers Mac users to manage, effortlessly and securely, the onslaught of information encountered every day at work and at home, even across multiple computers. Yojimbo stores different data types: text notes, passwords, Web bookmarks, product serial numbers, PDFs, and Web archives.
Data input into Yojimbo follows familiar Mac user interface gestures such as copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop, a Quick Input Panel, or PDF Services from the Print menu. Searching and retrieval are instantaneous, using either Yojimbo's built-in search, or the Spotlight search system in OS X.
What’s new in version 4.6.1
Important Notices
- Yojimbo 4.6.3 requires macOS 10.13.6 or later. It will not run on any older version of macOS.
Additions
- This update does not add any new features. (It doesn't take any away, either.)
Changes
- Updated the application icon for a more conformant appearance on macOS 11.0 and later.
Fixes
- Fixed crash which would occur after having activated the "Sync" preferences pane, and then switching away from it before the data size calculation was complete (which could happen for very large data stores).
- Made a change so that Yojimbo notifies you if errors occur during syncing; and if syncing was turned on but your iCloud account is unavailable, the notification will so indicate.
- Fixed bug which would interfere with iPad syncing under certain network conditions.
- Corrected cosmetics in some of the toolbar items to use the correct popup-menu arrow indicator and fix clipped images when running on macOS 13.
- Returned scanning to some semblance of working order. (Any previous mention of TWAIN compatibility is obsolete; a connected scanner visible in the system's "Printers & Scanners" preference pane should work.)

Version: 4.6
This used to be a $30 app. Now it's really, like, a $10 app sometimes featured up with a trunk full of junk. But most fo the junk has been subsumed by Apple or other vendors who do it better. I am on 4.1.3, always look at updates, but haven't seen anything compelling in years and years.

Version: 4.5
No reviews here since 2014, except one in 2018. Strange. At any rate, I had Yojimbo v1, which I thought was useful, but not as useful as many other apps. I've since used Eagle Filer, KeepIt, Evernote, OneNote (which I've refused to use because it's built by Microsh*t), SimpleNotes, Apple Notes. I've now returned to Yojimbo v.4.5, which is a simple, very intuitive note keeper that is straightforward to use and can import notes from many other note-keeping apps (e.g., my 1165 notes from KeepIt).

I use Yojimbo and as far as it goes find it excellent. It never crashes, and the syncing to the iPad version works well. However it is rather limited. Three things in particular that are shortcomings that limit my use of it are as follows:
1. There are templates for passwords and serial numbers, but not for credit cards, and I can't see that there is any way of adding templates for anything like this that you might want to store in the app.
2. Although you can encrypt text notes and images, you don't seem to be able to encrypt any items using templates (the encrypt option in the contextual menu is greyed out). This is a pretty significant shortcoming.
3. Finally, the absence of an iPhone app is frustrating, and furthermore you can only apparently sync to one iPad. If you want to add another iPad for syncing you have to delete the existing one.
These limitations are a shame because otherwise this is a decent product. I live in hope that a v5 will come along which fixes these shortcomings.

Can't believe they still sell this. Not sure what on earth people think makes this worth $30 bucks considering the free and paid alternatives which are far better and developed far more actively and empathetically.
