Keep It ($49) is the replacement for Together. It’s competing with Devonthink Personal ($49) and EagleFiler ($40) but also apps with similar UI and features like Findings ($49), Growly Notes (just $4.99!), the awesome Mac/iOS notebooksapp.com ($18.99/$6.99) from Alfons Schmid, And probably more I’ll kick myself for not remembering.

I use EagleFiler. Funny that you mention PDFs, since with both EagleFiler and Devonthink I had separate libraries just for archiving/readin PDF magazines. But 99% of the time I use the apps to import text/webpage/rich text documents, using the app as my shoebox repository. When on the go in iOS that’s what I use Apple’s Notes app for, but EagleFiler works better for me for long-term storage, tagging and searching. (Though I generally hate tags.)
