72. Organizing Information

Wouldn't it be great to have a single, trusted system that could capture and recall all the random information you deal with every day?

Three amazing apps bring this dream within reach for all Mac users. Yojimbo (www.barebones.com, $39.00) is a virtual filing cabinet for facts, figures, snippetsyou name it. The candy-colored interface features folders on the left and content previews on the right.

SOHO Notes (www.chronosnet.com, $39.99) offers nested folders for more sophisticated filing schemes. My personal favorite, DEVONthink (www.devon-technologies.com, $39.95 Personal / $79.95 Pro, shown in Figure 30), incorporates a remarkable artificial intelligence feature that finds unexpected relationships among the facts you've filed away.
