Bare Bones Software Releases Yojimbo 2.1 Update

Bare Bones Software has announced an update to Yojimbo, its intuitive information organizer. Yojimbo 2.1 includes a few fixes and refinements to version 2.0, which was released in September.

The latest version offers a series of tweaks that should improve the overall experience: the application's useful Drop Dock has become available in Exposé's "show desktop" mode; Speech and Transform commands have been added to the Edit menu; and users running Snow Leopard will be able to take advantage of system text features like spelling correction, text substitution, and data detectors. More than a dozen minor bugs have been fixed as well.

Yojimbo touts itself as a database that requires no training. Users can collect many kinds of data--text, images, PDFs, Web archives, passwords--and organize that data with actions as simple as copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop. The application also includes a variety of ways to search that data using the Tag Explorer. MobileMe users can add to or access their Yojimbo data through their accounts.

The update, like its predecessor, is a Universal application and requires Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later. It's available free to all users of Yojimbo 2.0. New licenses are $39.
