Records Master 5.82 File Manager

1631 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.

A trend today with financial institutions and utilities is to stop sending paper copies of bills and statements, and instead make them available online. However, this information is not available online forever, and is inconvenient to access across all of your financial institutions because you have to login to multiple web sites. If you wanted to review all your statements for December of 2005, you would have a lot of work to do. Though the online statements are often available for downloading, you have problem of organizing the information. Records Master addresses this problem by providing a database customized for storing and accessing such records in a single database file. If you still get some statements only in paper form and you have a scanner, then you might find it more convenient to scan the statements and store them in Records Master rather than maintaining a paper file system. You could also scan and organize receipts, instructions, etc. Also, MacOS X allows you to print anything to PDF, which you could then save in Records Master.

Even though Records Master was motivated by the problem of managing large amounts of bills and statements, it could be used to organize any files on your computer.

Complete documentation for Records Master is available as help within the application.
