Yojimbo was first released on January 23, 2006. At the time, Bare Bones called it "a completely new information organizer".[2][3][4][5]
- Yojimbo 1.1[6]
- Yojimbo 1.3[7]
- Yojimbo 1.5[8][9]
- Yojimbo 2.0[10][11][12][13][14]

In 2007, another developer, Adrian Ross, created Webjimbo, a web interface through which users can access their Yojimbo libraries.[21]
Like other developers, Bare Bones Software faced difficulties adding iCloud sync due to early limitations in Apple's service.[22][23] Tech reporter Christophe Laporte criticized Yojimbo's transition to iCloud as bungled, and expressed frustration at the lack of updates to the app.[24][25]
