For much of my Mac-using existence, I’ve been a tagger. This means that not only have I arranged my documents into files and folders, but I apply tags to them as well. On the Mac, this has been accomplished by a rather hacky standard called OpenMeta. The nice thing about OpenMeta is that many software […]
Continue readingWell, it certainly wasn’t my intention to post about Evernote two days in a row,[1] but the company just released an update that I need to give you a heads up about: they’ve significantly beefed up their security by offering Two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication, or 2FA, is a combination of something you know (your Evernote […]
Continue readingIf there is one feature of Evernote that has been requested over and over, it is the ability to add reminders to notes. To this point, the concept of time has been missing from Evernote, and people have done backflips trying to come up with systems and methodologies to work around this. A new feature […]
Continue readingAside from possibly the web clipper, e-mailing notes into Evernote is one of the most used ways that I get stuff into Evernote. It is incredibly handy, especially on a mobile device.

The company (wisely) reset everyone’s passwords, which for most people went smoothly. However, there were a number of people for whom the reset did not go so well, and they lost (yikes) any notes that they had un-synchronized. This […]
Continue readingAs most DocumentSnap readers know, I am all about the automation. What you may not know is that I am an old-school Unix command line geek. I do most stuff in the GUI these days, but one of the reasons I love Mac OS X is it gives you the ability to drop down into […]
Continue readingI had a question the other day from awesome DocumentSnap reader Marty. The question essentially was: “How the heck do you tag notes in the Evernote web interface?” I logged in to take a look, and I found that it isn’t super intuitive. So, I decided to make this video showing two different ways that […]
Continue readingOne of my favorite Mac applications for working with PDFs is PDFpen, and Smile (the maker) has just released the latest version: PDFpen 6. When I was at Macworld I was able to take a quick peek, and the new update looks great. I’m happy to see it has been released. Read This First I […]
Continue readingAwesome DocumentSnap reader Simon dropped me an e-mail to point out the MacUpdate March 2013 that is currently going on.
