Filemaker, the company behind the new application Bento, just announced that they passed 250 000 downloads. Bento is a $49 application for Leopard only, that is an organizational tool designed to manage your life and everything inside it. The app has neat and handy features like built-in links to Address Book, intergration with iCal, and ability to manage contact, events, track your projects and anything else you need to organize in your life.

What Filemaker did not tell us is if the number is the number of downloads for trying out the software, or purchases. We also don’t know if this is unique downloads, or one user downloading it several times. But still good news for Filemaker.

We’ve all got lots of things to do in our life and all of that clutter in our working environment doesn’t help at all. In real life you’ve got a garbage can and sticky notes, it does the job and that’s about it. On my computer I’ve got a simple, yet feature full version of that, ShoveBox. ShoveBox is the “the smart clutter-catcher for you and your Mac.” This neat little Mac app sits in your menu bar, waiting to capture and sort your information. If you’ve used a to-do list app or stickies app you’ve probably realized that text just isn’t good enough to keep track of your life. From the menu bar, you may choose to capture clutter by typing it down, or “QuickJot.” Or import from your clipboard, create a longer text note, or record using your iSight or built in camera.
