I am a fan of Yojimbo. Perfect for all the passwords and serial
numbers and other important information.
Can you please consider developing an app for the iPhone.
I am always needing my password information on my iPhone5 when away
from the computer.
So it would be most useful to have them on the iPhone.
I don't use an iPad.
I'd say there is a need for this. Probably more iPhone users than iPad
I would buy and use this app all the time.
Thank you for this well designed computer app and I am hoping you are
secretly designing an iPhone Yojimbo app or will do so in the near
future.

Kind regards
rockindon

How funny.  I came here looking for an answer to this exact question.

Will Yojimbo with iCloud have a partner iOS app, synced via the iCloud?  I really hope so.

I use Passwords Plus from DataViz Inc for passwords and serial numbers etc.   I've been using it for about twelve years now, from back in the Palm Pilot days.  It has an iPhone app,  iPad app and desktop app.  They use their own sync server.  Works very well.

For what it is worth, 1Password is great for passwords and syncs easily and accurately to PCs and IOS devices.  I miss Yojimbo but have had to move on-now splitting between 1Password and Evernote to keep everything I need on every device.

1Password + Evernote works great. I'm actually considering upgrading to the premium version of Evernote as well. 

You can use this script to get your secure notes out of Yojimbo and into 1Password:

It's too bad BareBones never made Yojimbo into an iPhone app and made their iPad app so useless.

I find all this Yojimbo bashing somewhat annoying. I sync between my Mac
and my iPad all the time, and Yojimbo allows me to take everything I
need with me, more or less. In fact, I think I'll sync it now. Well,
that took a long time. All of 4 seconds. And in a way the iPad version
is actually better than the Mac version because of the built in browser.
My bookmarks are live pages, not just bookmarks (although I'd love to
have that be a per-bookmark choice, but I digress).

Would I like to add new entries on my iPad? Sure. But I have other apps
to take care of things like that until I get home. Drafts is the main
one I use, and I can always just email something to myself or save it in
Dropbox. See? Problem solved.

To say Yojimbo for iPad is useless is, well, useless.

And an iPhone app? Yeah, I guess I'd like one, but do you really think
the iPhone's small screen would work all that well with all the dense
information you have on your Mac's screen? It might work for bookmarks,
but not for all the long detailed notes I sometimes have.

So yeah, nobody's making you use Yojimbo. But personally, I use it all
the time, on my iPad. Wouldn't leave home without it. I'm not demanding
*you* like it, but it seems you're demanding I hate it. Not gonna happen
as I use it all the time.

I totally agree

Frankly I don't know what all the fuss is about. This is not dead software - Yojimbo works brilliantly for me on Mountain Lion and is a rock solid container of a mass of research information. The tag system is essential  to my method of work. Anything that undermined that rock solid reliability would be a serious issue for me.

I don't think the issue is having several simultaneous copies of your Yojimbo data in different places. The challenge is to get items of data into Yojimbo from lots of different devices, some of which you don't have full control over.


Like most people (I expect) I mainly work from one machine - in my case my desktop iMac. I will continue to work like this even though I also  have access to (in my family) two iPads and an iPhone and a MacBook and a windows machine. Such is the nature of browsing theses days or someone pointing something out to you that I quite often send snippets of information from all of these different devices back to my main 'working' iMac. 

If I am browsing from anywhere it is pretty easy to email a link back and then import it into Yojimbo. 'Pocket' is a pretty handy alternative. No doubt this process could be refined by sending stuff to an email address that was somehow linked to Yojimbo.

However none of this detracts from the fact that Yojimbo does the job it is intended to do and does it better than anything else I have seen.

Ditto. I still think Yojimbo is the best password-protected (if you want) note, password, serial number, credit card number, etc. storage utility I've found for the Mac. And it syncs nicely with my iPad. I'd love to have iCloud compatibility, but it's certainly no dealbreaker for me.

Couldn't agree more. (Or said it better myself.) Using Sidekick
makes it easy enough to take my data with me (on my phone), and
email makes it easy to send data back to my main Yojimbo machine.

I like your idea of automatic email filter; I will consider
adding a filter to Mailsmith to automatically add certain
messages to Yojimbo. I've already got the script for doing it manually.
