Excellent app, provides some killer necessary functionality for iWeb. Honestly, I hope Apple just buys this app from Zarra for a big chunk of change to both give the company the credit it deserves and integrate these features into the core of iWeb.

Fantastic client. Great features, far more stable than Colloquy, and being actively developed and supported to boot! $20 incredibly well spent.

Finally a real irc client for the mac. replacing whatever is out there. And a good mIRC alternative for the mac.. I've bought a bundle license and gave a copy to my friends who also switched from windows.

A very good client. It's not quite as powerful as some of the uglier ones and not nearly as free as the free ones but it looks good, works well, and is actually being updated.

I don't even use IRC that much anymore but I bought it and its the best OS X client I've ever used.

This is the best IRC client of OS X by far.

it can't display colors properly :/

Best IRC client I've used yet, on any platform.

The developers clearly have excellent attention to detail, and know where to apply the optimisations, unlike Colloquy. Now we need an iPhone version... heh. But well, without background apps, I'm not convinced irc on the iPhone is practical. Which sucks.

personally i use irssi from a remote sever (ssh -> screen -> irssi is the way to go)
but i would say this is one of the better gui irc clients.
considering it can run in the background on your mac, if they ever do make an iphone/ipod touch edition, i hope the main version lets you have a bnc set up to your device.

The 1st mac app I ever bought & the best IRC app on any platform hands down !!!
I have tried them all & not one is even in the same league as Linkinus.
NL has put together an amazing product & a great team of guys. The best $20 I ever spent on my mac ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ highly recommended.

I use it for all my writing at Ars Technica. Fantastic app.

Here is email I recently sent to this company:

"I was considering updating my copy of MacJournal, but will now only consider alternatives such as Journler. When I went to look at the MacJournal 5 manual, I was reminded that your company wants to harvest the email address of anyone showing any interest in your products, and send them unwanted mail. I know of no other company that wants a verified email address to download the manual for a product. After I remembered this unpleasantness, I remembered that your director of marketing has been sending me junk email for some time- without the courtesy of an opt-out url. I'm not doing business with you again."

I purchased a license and love it, but as a 1.0 app it has a lot of room for feature enrichment. Can't wait to see the next milestone releases.

Yojimbo is exactly as the developer described it: effortless and reliable. It may not have all the whiz-bang features of some of its competitors, but Yojimbo's sheer simplicity, elegance, and reliability make it an absolute joy to use and a perfect solution for storing all the odds and ends that don't seem to fit anywhere else.

I'm a long-time Bare Bones customer and must admit that the company's excellent reputation had a strong influence over my selection of this app over others. After 8 months of heavy usage, however, Yojimbo has certainly proven itself and I have absolutely no regrets.

As for academic research, outlining, or writing books, there may be better choices. But for quickly collecting everyday tidbits of information and reliably retrieving them later with minimal fuss, Yojimbo is hard to beat.

I was using DevonThink pro... but I guess that was too complicated for
what I was doing. I'm very much happy with Yojimbo now but it has a lot of
place for improvement.

The lack of nested folders and inability to link to contacts are major downsides compared with SOHO Notes.

Against that the general feel of the application is lighter, cleaner and less cluttered: being able to customize folders is a major plus (can't do that on SOHO). I guess i'll kep both runnning in tandem and see whether Yojimbo corrects those two major drawbacks.

I checked it out, I would certainly recommend people check out Keep It Together before deciding on it. Does pretty well the same thing but keeps all the files in their original format. Simple and easy to integrate into your workflow. Oh and it's cheaper...

Yojimbo is clean, light and easy to use. I used the demo for the full 30 days, then actually paid for the unlocked version. This program is far and away better than DEVONThink (for which I also have a license) at doing exactly what you expect with as few steps as possible.

Does that white source pane drive anyone else nuts? Is there an easy way to change it to blue?

I'm a new Yojimbo user with version 1.4.1, and while it took me more than 30 days to warm to it, I knew that an info organizer was going to be useful once I trained my brain into it. Essentially I am using it the same way that I use Gmail, with tagging and smart collections. For the minutiae and random notes that I accumulate daily, Yojimbo is a very competent inbox, easier than maintaining years of saved documents, easier than storing notes in Gmail, and widely supported by other apps that I enjoy (QuickSilver, etc.) And hey, it's BareBones.

Only obvious caveat so far is the drop dock is not quite configurable enough... having it at the top or bottom of the screen would help with dual-monitors and a side-mounted OSX dock. More dual screen options are a Look Forward To.
