What is it?
Webjimbo makes Yojimbo available to you anywhere on the internet. It lets you view, search and even edit your Yojimbo data from any web browser on any computer.
Even better, if you have an iPhone, you can access Yojimbo from anywhere you have network coverage, using Webjimbo's specially-designed iPhone-sized interface.
Just one database
Webjimbo doesn't copy your data anywhere - when you work in Webjimbo, you're working with your actual Yojimbo database on your Mac.
It does this by setting up a secure connection directly to your Mac back at home or the office. All searches are up to date, and all edits will be there when you get back.
What's Yojimbo?
Yojimbo is a great personal information manager for the Mac; if you haven't tried it yet you should check it out. It's made by Bare Bones software, not us here at Flying Mac; we just like it.
Webjimbo comes with a
20 day free trial
Web browser or iPhone - use whichever is convenient at the time
Use Webjimbo from any computer with Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer. There's no need to install Webjimbo on the connecting computer, so you can get your files easily, from anywhere.
And if you have an iPhone, you can use Webjimbo from anywhere you have network coverage; but when there's a computer around, you still have the option of using that big screen.
Any Computer
Access Yojimbo from Mac OS, Windows or Linux
Easy Setup
Setup is automatic for many users; diagnosis and help is given to others
Trouble syncing?
Syncing Yojimbo data between Macs can be a hassle. Although Webjimbo doesn't provide everything you can do in Yojimbo, the basics are all there, so it's a serious alternative to syncing. Of course, there's nothing to stop you using syncing in some cases and Webjimbo in others.
Share!
Because it's on the web, Webjimbo can be used to share a Yojimbo database between multiple users. (Please ensure you have the appropriate licence.) View-only tags allow protection of certain items from being edited.
