no version control (I'm the only person working on it),

That's not really a reason not to use version control. The immediate benefits of using e.g. SVN to hold your source code:


-> "Unlimited Undo". Just change a source file and if you screw up, check it out again.
-> "Automatic" backups. Every time you check in your sources, they're saved in the repository. If that's on a second Mac in your attic, someone can steal your main dev machine and you're up and running again in no time anyway.
-> Easily sync with several Macs. If you have a desktop and a notebook, you are just a check-out away from developing on your other Mac.
-> Easily bugfix an older version even after you've started work on that big version 2.0 rewrite... Just make a branch of the sources of your ast release (i.e. copy a folder in SVN), fix it on that, compile, test, release.
-> Access to your sources from elsewhere: If you have a professionally hosted repository on the web, you can e.g. check out your sources anywhere at WWDC. (Use VPN or so to make it safer)
-> More easily build release notes by peeking at your CVS log to see what you changed.


You may want to reconsider whether version control might not help you after all.
