Product Description:

Records Master is a secure file manager that allows you to collect important records (such as bank statements, credit card statements, investment records, bills, or receipts) or PDFs in a database and allow for:
  • easy addition of new files (importing),
  • organization of files in hierarchical folders,
  • optional organization of files by date,
  • easy access to existing files (browsing, finding, smart folders exporting, printing)
  • the ability to associate notes with files or folders,
  • the ability to associate attributes with files (e.g., cost) and produce reports based on those attributes, reminders to download or scan in recurring records such as financial statements, (including an integrated website password manager with advanced features to make it easy for you to go to websites to download the records),
  • encrypting the database, and
  • automatic or manual backup of the database.
Think of it as a replacement for a file cabinet but with easier filing and retrieval. You can also use it just to keep any files together...especially useful for PDFs.

What's new in this version:

  • Changed the "Filing" file attribute tab to "AutoFile" to better denote its purpose.
  • When searching for dates to AutoFile, dates without years are now supported.
  • When searching for dates to AutoFile, now looks for ending dates only after starting dates, resulting in more accurate date finding.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel

Records Master CommentaryDo Not Buy This Software - Version: 5.82, 9/26/2007 08:17AM PST

Do not buy this software. The developer will not support it. I was a registered user for the past two years when, suddenly my computer wanted the original password which I no longer had. I emailed the developer and was told I had never purchased it! I sent him at least six e-mails where we had corresponded in fixing a problem with the software in 2006. In spite of evidence that I was, in fact, a registered user, he was adamant that I never purchased the software and refused to give me the key I had paid for. As a result I had to find another way to accomplish what this software purports to do. Luckily, I found that you do not need this software as organization of folders in the Finder does exactly the same thing!

I had previously used Stickybrain, the predecessor to SOHO Notes. One simple database corruption and zap, there goes ALL your data (as happened to me). And good luck recovering it.

There were two main reasons (and many more smaller ones) I subsequently chose Records Master over a year ago:

1) its method of data storage - it copies files into its package so if you ever have to recover them, it's dead simple. Just "Show package Contents" and there they are, ready to drag or view.

2) I like how, with RM, you can easily create several files with different subjects (eg "Kids' Sports", "Business Expenses", etc), instead of the traditional one megadatabase created by other note savers like SOHO and Mori. This way, I don't need to constantly open a very large file or worse, leave the larger db constantly open and in danger of corruption. It's pretty zippy to just open one smaller file. And if anything goes wrong, you don't lose ALL your snippets you've saved over the years.

Corruption doesn't happen often, but when it does, you want recovery to be possible. And with RM, it's dead easy.

So far I think this app is great. In just under an hour I managed to put in order a ton of .tiff and .pdf files of my internet transactions I had captured with Grab.

Record Manager allows me to visualize all my documents, ordered by folders and subfolders using only one application. I am soon getting my scanner hooked up to keep a digital record of all my transacions, checks written out, etc. This seems like a very handy app. Did not find any other like it in my quick searches. And 60 days is plenty of time to evaluate. The price is great!
