History

Yojimbo was first released on January 23, 2006. At the time, Bare Bones called it "a completely new information organizer". [2] [3] [4] [5]

In 2007, another developer, Adrian Ross, created Webjimbo, a web interface through which users can access their Yojimbo libraries. [21]

Like other developers, Bare Bones Software faced difficulties adding iCloud sync due to early limitations in Apple's service. [22] [23] Tech reporter Christophe Laporte criticized Yojimbo's transition to iCloud as bungled, and expressed frustration at the lack of updates to the app. [24] [25]
