    We don’t do much advertising here at Bruji. Every once in a while we run a Google AdWords campaign or sponsor a blog like Daring Fireball. Our main advertising “campaign” has always been word of mouth from our users but nowadays word of mouth doesn’t necessarily mean that people talk to each other by the…

    Along with all the other new goodies that Apple recently announced at WWDC, they also included family sharing which lets members of a family easily share photos, calendars and purchased apps from the App Store and iTunes Store through the cloud. This is great news for the Pedia programs because our regular serial numbers (the…

    Pocketpedia 3.2 with an iOS 7 interface is finally out. Took us longer than expected as we tried to keep backwards compatibility with previous iOS versions, but in the end it was too time consuming. The changes in iOS 7 are too many, so going forward all the new versions of Pocketpedia are iOS 7+.…

    10 years ago today we released DVDpedia 1.0 into the wild. We never thought that this little program, which Conor initially wrote just to learn more about Cocoa and Xcode, would turn Bruji into our fulltime jobs and livelihood. But 5 people (unexpectedly) bought DVDpedia on that first day and we got a lot of…

    We are very excited to announce the latest version, 5.2, of all the Pedias. Although this version includes quite a good number of fixes and enhancements the real new features are in the brand-new Doghouse. The original Doghouse was very popular and served us well for over a year. However with its impressive growth we…

    We are proud to announce Pocketpedia 3.1, now with full editing capabilities. It’s taken some time to get this new feature working exactly the way we wanted it to but we are very happy with the results. In addition to editing and manually add we’ve also added a new cover capture algorithm that lets you…

    From time to time we receive requests that are easy to implement but don’t really fit in with the programs because they seem very specific to one user’s needs. But maybe we’re wrong to think that others wouldn’t enjoy these little fixes too. So I have started a new plugin that is a repository of…

    Since the last update of Bookpedia, version 5.1.4, users have access to the vast database of Google books. Especially for our international users and those doing ISBN searches this is a great addition. The new plug-in proved so popular that the program started hitting its API search limit recently, which Google sets to 1000 searches…

That’s where bug fixes are implemented and new features are added for users to test and play with. The latest feature added (currently only in the English beta version of DVDpedia, will come to all…

    We are always pleased to be complemented on our customer support. Often the complement comes with a request for advice on how to handle a large volume of email efficiently, be it at work or home. The trick is an empty inbox. This does not mean that our inbox is empty on the contrary, it…
