Frankly, I’m not surprised more don’t use this solution – and I know a lot of people – particularly Mac users – who do! Neat Could Fix This! (And here’s how!)Īt the same time, I am completely uninterested in Neat’s cloud offerings – as I suspect most of their desktop customers are. Many sub-$80 all-in-one’s now offer automated document feeders. Plus Neat’s free rider problem was probably reaching epidemic levels.Ī USB all-in-one scanner and printer is practically free at retail stores (since they profit from the ink). It’s much better to charge per month for something, versus a one-time purchase that people may not ever upgrade. Neat for Windows XP/Vista – 5.4.1.273 – Īhem, as I was saying before all the downloads… I can understand this change.Neat officially posted this product key to use freely with NeatWorks 3.5.7.3: NM2V4DDC-475C2-WN7Z9-MYFN9.NeatWorks for Mac OS X 10.5 or Earlier – 3.5.7.3.Since the links are publicly visible, here they are ( I cannot mirror these, get them while you can!): Needless to say, I can understand their reasoning. Rival solutions of this caliber cost around $100 to $300 when Neat debuted. This created a free rider problem, where many used their own cheaper scanner – and Neat for Mac’s free OCR and document management system.

You do not need a Neat scanner to use most Neat versions. Thankfully, Neat didn’t yank the downloads at the end of March – so I just beamed them down for safe keeping. The only notice is buried on their support page. In fact, they did it so quietly that they didn’t tweet it or even mention it on their OS X El Capitan status page. Neat last month quietly announced that they were discontinuing their desktop apps, and focusing solely on their cloud product.

But it’s still the best out there, so grab it while you can! My favorite (free!) document management system… just got discontinued.
