So surely there will be a large number of people who only know us for Yojimbo. With the release of Yojimbo, we're reaching an entirely different set of customers than we have with our other products. With that, the Bare Bones Software name has become more widely recognized. Over time, however, we've been recognized for the big picture itself: consistently reliable products, and great customer service and tech support. Q: How much do you live from the good brand BBEdit is?Ī: For a long time, Bare Bones Software was really only known for BBEdit, but in fact BBEdit is only one (though a very important) element of the big picture.

Our products, sales, and customer support experience are recognized consistently as being a cut above. That requires top-notch engineering talent, with customer service to match. It's our goal to develop and publish reliable, carefully architected products. Q: What's different between Bare Bones and, say, smaller Mac shareware companies?Ī: It's really not for me to speculate on the inner workings of other companies - I can really only speak for our company. Our expanding product line also includes Super Get Info, a file and folder info utility and the brand-new Yojimbo, an effortless and reliable information organizer.īare Bones Software is not a huge company - our strength lies in having an exceptional crew of smart and talented people who produce and support our finely crafted products. Today, we have five products, including three Eddy award winners: BBEdit, the professional-strength HTML and text editor Mailsmith, an extra-strength email client and TextWrangler a high-performance text editor. When where you initially founded and what were the starting products? How big is Bare Bones today, employee-wise? What's your main products?Ī: Bare Bones Software was founded in 1993 to publish and support BBEdit.
