EagleFiler is a program that makes managing all the information you receive easy. EagleFiler lets you archive and search mail, Web pages, PDF files, word processing documents, images, and more. Use it to collect information from a variety of sources.
Browse different types of files using a standard three-pane interface. Organize them into folders and annotate them with tags and notes, or leave everything in one folder and pin-point the information you need using the live search.
Since EagleFiler stores its library in Finder format, you can use it in concert with the other tools in your Mac ecosystem.
Getting your information into EagleFiler is easy. When you`re viewing a Web page in Safari or NetNewsWire, looking at a mailbox in Mail, or browsing files in the Finder, just press the capture key (F1 by default).
EagleFiler will save the document into its library, and you can go right on working without interrupting your flow. (Of course, you can also use drag and drop or other methods if you prefer.)
Once the document is in EagleFiler, you`ll always have a copy of the way it looked when you imported it. No more bookmarking a great article, only to find out later that the page is no longer available or that registration or even payment is now required.
If you do research on the Web, you know that pages change-sometimes without notice-so it`s always good to keep a paper trail of exactly what you read. Considering that today`s Macs ship with tens or even hundreds of gigabytes of storage there is absolutely no shame in being a digital pack rat.
