Bare Bones Software Releases Yojimbo 1.4

Extensive New AppleScript Support Helps Customers Harness Yojimbo’s
Power For Use In Concert With Other Productivity Tools

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – January 9, 2007 – Macworld Conference and
Expo 2007, Booth #N4034 – Bare Bones Software, developer of
leading-edge power tools for Mac OS X, today released Yojimbo 1.4,
the effortless information organizer, with AppleScript support for
inter-application automation. Now customers can incorporate Yojimbo’s
power in concert with other productivity tools in an automatic
workflow.

AppleScript is an English-like scripting language used for automating
the actions of the computer and the applications that run on it.
Scripts can make decisions based on user interaction or by parsing
and analyzing data, documents or events. Using AppleScript helps
people get more done in less time and with fewer mistakes.

Yojimbo 1.4 is also a maintenance release that fixes reported issues
and adds several significant refinements to this reliable, easy to
use information organizer.

“I find Yojimbo is a good way to keep my desktop organized, and that
makes me be, and feel more organized,” explained Chris Nandor, senior
developer for Slashdot. “And as of version 1.4, it’s now scriptable,
so I can write Perl and AppleScripts to create, find, and manage my
data.”

“Yojimbo is the tool that can help anyone master the onslaught of
digital daily life,” said Rich Siegel, founder and CEO of Bare Bones
Software. “With the addition of rich AppleScript support, Yojimbo
empowers our customers to use it at the core of any automated process
that our customers can devise, no matter how esoteric or complicated,
without adding UI complexity.”

Yojimbo 1.4 requires Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later. An update package is
available free of charge to all registered Yojimbo customers from the
Bare Bones Software web site:

Yojimbo Organizes Everything Else
———————————

Yojimbo empowers Mac users to manage, effortlessly and securely, the
onslaught of information encountered every day at work and at home,
even across multiple computers. Yojimbo stores different data types:
text notes, passwords, Web bookmarks, product serial numbers, PDFs,
and web archives.

Data input into Yojimbo follows familiar Mac user interface gestures
such as copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop, a Quick Input Panel, or PDF
Services from the Print menu. Searching and retrieval are
instantaneous, using either Yojimbo’s built-in search, or the
Spotlight search system in Mac OS X Tiger. If desired, Yojimbo will
encrypt data using the secure AES-256 algorithm standard.

Its simple, flexible storage system allows for personally-defined
organization of data. Support for Mac OS X’s Sync Services
synchronization provides back-up and data portability for .Mac
account holders, making irrelevant which computer was used to access,
add or modify an item stored in Yojimbo.

demo version, visit the company’s web site:
