Yojimbo

Over the years I've tried several different information organizers: Webstractor, StickyBrain, and Devon Think. None of them felt quite right. Either they were clunky, slow, or too complicated for my needs.

I've just started using Yojimbo from Bare Bones Software, but I think I'll be sticking with it. Here's what I like about it:

I can drag the URL from my web browser over to a little tag that sits on the edge of the computer's display, and the web page will be saved locally as a searchable archive in Yojimbo.

I can print any web page as a PDF to Yojimbo. This is a great way to save receipts from online purchases or travel reservations.

I can create searchable notes and categorize them any way I want.

Bare Bones makes the flawlessly fantastic BB Edit, and the same loving care can be found in Yojimbo. It's lean, fast, and so easy to use you won't have to spend much time reading how to use it. At $39, it's a great deal. You can download a free, fully-featured, 30-demo from Bare Bone's web site. Link
