BOSTON, MA — Wonder Warp Software has released ShoveBox, an application for Mac OS X that helps users manage all the tiny scraps of information they encounter that have no real place.

Billed as a “smart clutter-catcher,” it appears as an icon in the menubar where users can drag text, images, urls, and pdfs. Dragged data goes into a special ‘Inbox’ folder or can instead be automatically sorted by user-defined rules in a manner not unlike that of an email client.

“There are so many apps on the Mac that try this and fail,” says developer Dan Grover, “They require way too much thinking. For me at least. I wanted to create an app that’s powerful but as out-of-the-way as it could possibly get.”

One feature towards this end is QuickJot — a simpler hotkey-activated interface to ShoveBox. It lets the user, without leaving the program they’re in, enter plain text to be sent to ShoveBox and processed.

The application also provides an interface to organize, search, label, and export the data stored in it.

ShoveBox is available for download and free trial at wonderwarp.com/shovebox/. A single-user license costs $24.95 USD. Multi-user discounts are available.
