Yojimbo
Yojimbo is a macOS information organizer that stores notes, bookmarks, PDFs, passwords, receipts, and other small documents in one searchable library.
What is Yojimbo?
Yojimbo is a native macOS productivity app for collecting and organizing the many small pieces of information you need to keep handy. It helps users store notes, bookmarks, PDFs, web archives, serial numbers, passwords, images, receipts, and other reference items in one searchable library. Content can be added by dragging files, copying text, importing existing material, or printing into the app, which makes it useful for everyday research, household records, shopping information, travel documents, and personal reference collections. Yojimbo also includes encrypted items for sensitive information and supports syncing across multiple Macs with iCloud in Yojimbo 4.5 and later. Published by Bare Bones Software, Inc., it is designed for people who want a simple desktop information manager rather than a full project database or document suite.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Yojimbo is legitimate productivity software for organizing personal information on your Mac. Its access to your saved content is expected for a notes and reference manager, and encrypted entries are available for sensitive items. Because the app may store passwords, receipts, documents, and other private information in one place, use normal account security practices on your Mac and keep backups of important data before major upgrades or removal.
Recommendation: Keep Yojimbo if you actively use it to manage notes, documents, passwords, or reference information. Remove it only if you no longer need its library, and make sure any information you want to keep has been exported, backed up, or moved first.
