Notae, the completely tag-based digital notebook, has been updated to version 2.2. New features in this version include the ability to set certain notes as templates to later insert them into other notes via contextual menu, more robust contextual menus, the ability to auto-save documents when they close, and partial tag name matching in the search field when searching either all fields or tags. Numerous bug fixes are included, as well.

Although it is not perfect for every situation, Notae is one of my favorite applications for collecting large quantities of notes (I use it to track the tagging software over on the software page, among other things) and its tagging implementation is one of the best you’ll find in Mac software. If you’re looking for a simple application to gather your random snippets of text in, definitely give Notae a look. For more information about the 2.2 release, see the changelog or the 2.2 release announcement.

Keyword Manager, the iPhoto tagging plugin, has been updated to 1.3.2. The only change to the software is that it now works with iPhoto 7.1.

Head over to the Bullstorm website to download the most recent version.

KIT, a friendly tag-based file library, has been updated to version 1.3.9. This minor release includes Growl 1.1 in the bundle and fixes several minor problems and Leopard compatibility issues.

For more information or to download the latest version, please see the KIT release notes.

Although it isn’t strictly a tagging app, VoodooPad has been updated to version 3.2.1. VoodooPad is a Wiki-style notepad that recently began offering tag-style categories as one of its side features. This update includes a large number of bug fixes and feature improvements. Most notably from my point of view is new support for linking to email messages via MailTags’ message:// protocol.

Even if it isn’t very strong on tagging, VoodooPad is still one of my favorite applications for brainstorming and idea generation, and is definitely worth checking out if you haven’t previously. For more information about the 3.2.1 release, see the release notes.

MailTags, the essential tagging plugin for Apple’s Mail.app, has been updated to version 2.1. This update includes the ability to tag an incoming message and have all other messages in that thread automatically tagged, a French localization, fixes to several IMAP tagging issues, interface fixes, and more. Additionally, if you’ve tried MailTags 2.0 but never registered, 2.1 extends the trial period for another 21 days.

For more details, please see the release notes. MailTags is definitely not a program to miss.

WebnoteHappy, the happy little bookmarks organizer that loves tagging and del.icio.us, has been updated to version 1.3 (the first update in almost a year). This update includes a quick-add hotkey (F5 by default) to quickly toss bookmarks into WebnoteHappy without worrying about tags and whatnot (including Growl notification), support for DevonAgent and Opera 9, adjustable font sizes for the eagle-eyed and near-sighted among us, a resizable tag browser, and more.

For more details about the update, please see the release notes. Despite some limitations, WebnoteHappy is well worth checking out if you’re in the market for a bookmarks organizer.

The Nucle Browser beta, a Java cross-platform tagging solution, has been updated once more based on user feedback. Changes in this update include an improved GUI that makes it easier to add folders to McNucle and improvements in how Nucle Browser and McNucle server connected to one another on the same machine. Although I’ve noted my issues with this software before, the fact that it’s being actively improved is definitely a point in its favor.

For full details, see the iNuron blog post or the release notes.

Keyword Manager, the sleek iPhoto tagging plugin from Bullstorm Software, has been updated to 1.3.1. This minor update fixes an iPhoto crash that occurred when plugging in a camera and has been tested for compatibility with iPhoto 7.0.2.

For more details or to download, please visit the Keyword manager website.

Yep has received yet another minor update to 1.6.8. This latest in a recent slew of updates fixes a Yepshot problem, so if Yepshot has been giving you grief you should probably jump right on this download.

Also, I regretfully must say that, try as they might, the Yep developers still have nothing on GraphicConverter when it comes to the Most Constantly Updated App Award. Keep trying guys! A few more years of this and you’ll be in the running.

Cha-Ching, everyone’s favorite tag-centric financial management software, has been updated to version 1.1. This update includes the addition of an “untagged” section (for finding those pesky untagged entries), better QIF and OFX importing, enhanced auto-completion, and some new and updated interface elements. Definitely a worth-while download if you’re a fan of Cha-Ching.

For more details, please see the Cha-Ching 1.1 blog post.
