Software to help me go paperless on a Mac

I started using Yep some time ago. Check out this article about this topic:

Palimpsest: the guide to a (mostly) paperless life

I like DEVONthink. While I don't have a scanner, it has been highly recommended by folks who use it to scan and organize paper documents.

DEVONthink stores your documents, scanned papers, email messages, notes, bookmarks, etc. in one place. Access live web pages seamlessly from within DEVONthink to review, extract further information.

It does cost money, $50 to $150 depending on which edition you buy. I got a free copy of "Personal" through a MacHeist promotion, but I would definitely buy a copy of it if I had to. They have a download trial version so you can give it a go.

After revisiting this topic, it seems the common ground is DEVONthink Pro, and the Fujitsu ScanSnap (model 5500 is mentioned often for Mac users). Here's a blog post with some more information. You can probably find more information than you want by searching Google for "scansnap devonthink". When it fits in the budget, I'll be going this route.

I use Evernote http://www.evernote.com, just like you do.

With it's unlimited notebooks, tagging, sync'ing and text searching, it's really something like an external brain. I'd recommend it (I am a paying Evernote customer after I tried their free offering, no other affiliation).

The web and iPhone stuff are a nice extra.
