Hey Brian, Can you post a link to some more information or a download of the program you’re now using for organizing quotes on a mac? I googled Everynote and could not find what you are talking about! Thanks, Mia

I wish Quoty or Yojimbo or something would take my quotes and then send me a daily quote from my list!! Is there anything that does that?

David, I’ve been meaning to update this post. I too am using Evernote for my quotes now. Yojimbo has shown no development in months and months so I moved everything over to Everynote and think it’s great.

The one downside, is the quotes require a internet connection on the iPhone. I do they were stored on the iPhone when synced over.

I see that Yojimbo is published by Bare Bones Software: their Text Wrangler application is my text editor of choice. Maybe I should give it a try.

I recently started using Evernote after seeing the Cocoa Touch app featured in a list of apps that are useful for college students. It seems like it could be adapted for quote book use too.

Thanks for the review. I’m searching for a way to manage a quote book as well. I’ve recently read many prophetic warnings for our day that I’d like to have more ready access to. One quote that added zeal to my quest:

â€œThe only way to keep our freedom is to work at it. Not some of us. All of us. Not some of the time, but all of the time.â€

Wow! I’ve been searching for an app like this â€“ imagine my surprise when I saw “Joseph Smith” in the screenshot.

I guess we Mormons like to collect quotes

Thanks!

For the record, I’m still on the lookout for a better way to organize quotes. Ideally, I’d like to find one that syncs to the iPhone as well.

Hi, I came across this when I was searching for some way to organize all my quotes – this is great information! However, I’m having a problem with Yojimbo giving me an error message about the “date created” every few seconds! It keeps popping up while I’m typing; it’s basically making the program unusable. Any suggestions?

I really hope to get this figured out; it seems to be the best solution to my quote problem. I also tried iWisdom (mentioned above) but couldn’t figure out how to tag the quotes for easy searching later. The tagging feature of Yojimbo is fabulous! Thanks for the info!

Have you tried iWisdom? This is a quote application i wrote. It’s written in Java and runs on the Mac or Windows. It imports and exports quotes in a variety of formats, including HTML and XML.
