Together 2.0 Review
Two weeks back, Reinvented Software released the second version of Together, an application to manage your documents.
Together 2.0, previously known as K.I.T. (Keep It Together), brings a lot of new features such as a widescreen mode, an improved search, Leopard support and the Shelf: a side-panel available in every application.
At its heart Togeher is a files manager, much like Yojimbo. It allows you to manage all kind of files (images, videos, texts, or even links), so that you know where they are. It also allows you to create folders to keep your files organized and, for example, regroup files that are used for the same goal. You can edit text right in Together so you don’t have to open an external editor.
Updated UI
The User Interface has also been overhauled a bit; with the sidebar now looking more like the Finder’s sidebar. This sidebar has two views: Groups and Tags. Groups is a Finder-like view divided into three parts: Library, where you can browse your items by category; Groups, where you can add folders and intelligent folders; and Trash). The Tag view display all the tags you created and indicates how many items are tagged for each. You can easily switch between the Groups or Tags views just by clicking a button situated in the bottom right corner.
The Shelf
The Shelf is a side-window that is, when inactive, a tab on the side of your screen. But when you drag something on this tab (or hit a shortcut), the side-window expands showing Together’s sidebar; you can drag your selection wherever you want. As soon as you release your mouse button, your selection will be added to Together. The Shelf also allows you to create quick notes.
Improved Search
The search feature has been improved; this new version introduces a search bar so that you can choose where you want to search, and the type of your search (in comments, tags, name, label, etc.). The search feature also uses Spotlight, and I noticed that search speed is faster compared with previous versions.
Other new features
- Preview now uses QuickLook to preview documents that aren’t supported by Together.
- A new view-mode is also available: Portrait (widescreen view).
- Another great feature in this application is the Library manager that allows you to create several Libraries, and to easily switch between them. Useful if you want to separate personal items and business items.
Together 2.0 costs $39, and the upgrade from previous versions costs $14.95. A 15 Day trial is also avilable from Reinvented Software.
I am hooked on Together. I use it constantly every day. There are a couple of features I would like to see in the future. I would like to be able to link entries to each other and I would like to be able to navigate through a history of my activity with previous and next button like in a web browser. Otherwise, I find Together to be a very feature rich tool that is easy to use. Being able to drag virtually anything to the shelf is brilliant.
Just to point out – Together 2 requires Leopard. So for chickens/poor people like me it’s a no-no.
To follow on… You can find a link to version 1.3 of K.I.T further down the right hand side of the product page. Then you can install it and choose later to register – and you’ve got your 15 day trial. Of course, you don’t get the new features like the draw on the side of the screen, but it gives you the basics of the app.
[...] Together was reviewed on MacApper last week and that seems favourable [...]
