Information Managers

Barebones software the makers of BBEdit and a couple of other neat software packages have come out with a new software package. Yojimbo is an information manager. You can store URLs, documents, serial numbers and passwords. It has a specialized forms for serial numbers and passwords. It also has 256 bit encryption so your passwords are protected.

Currently, I'm using
URL Manager Pro to manage my bookmarks. I like it because it gives me access to my bookmark file from any browser. I'm using Web Confidential for storing passwords and serial numbers. While neither of these are information managers. They serve their purpose very well.

The information manager that I am currently using. is
DevonThink Pro. I use it mostly for storing documents that I want to classify. And if you look at both Yojimbo and Devonthink you will notice that they each have a different focus, where Yojimbo is more focused on storing internet related information. Devonthink is more focused on creating a paperless office.

I can see room for each in any software arsenal. I would be using Yojimbo for more of a URL and password manager and Devonthink for other information.
