That all changed with the release of a completely rebuilt version 2 and a new robust sync design.ĭEVONthink To Go is 80% capture and 20% portable filing cabinet. On iOS, things with the first version of DEVONthink To Go were a little rocky. The application learns where related documents are stored and can automatically move new documents using the Auto Classify function. On the Mac, DEVONthink is a filing cabinet with intelligent search and automatic organization. There’s even a Mac Power Users episode about it.

I’ve written and recorded a lot about DEVONthink over the years. It's changed how I use my mobile devices.

Buy the IAP to get better sync and PDF editing. I like it better than Evernote, Apple Notes, or OneNote. It supports simultaneous sync with several different services and adds encryption on top.

Read It Later SummaryĭEVONthink for iOS is a full featured, secure document manager with terrific capture tools and a really powerful PDF editing option. I’m probably biased but I also don’t think I’m wrong about their software. The best app of the year for me is DEVONthink To Go for iOS.ĭisclaimer: DEVONtech has sponsored this site in the past. This year I think there are two or three fundamentally new apps that really change how I use my mobile devices.

More recently, scanning applications like Scanner Pro or Scanbot have been tremendous new tools. Then it was Evernote and Editorial, and Workflow. In the early days it was Tweetbot and iThoughts. DEVONthink is one of the only software suites I remain unequivocal about.Every year there’s one or two iOS apps that really elevate the platform to a new level for me. I’m a keen user of DEVONthink to Go for iOS, and I was happy to recommend previous version of DEVONthink Pro for macOS, even as it aged considerably. However, the recently released DEVONthink 3.0 has modernised and enhanced already excellent software. It is integral to the way I manage my research. The Devon Technologies crew don’t do small, you’ll be peeling this onion for a while.ĭEVONthink 3.0 Can Feel like CheatingĭEVONthink 3 is a remarkable piece of software. If you come from the previous version of DEVONthink, the user interface is immediately familiar, yet modernised in all the right ways. If you were one of those people who liked the idea of DEVONthink, but couldn’t stomach the way it looked, the new interface has taken care of that. I spend most of my day in and out of DEVONthink at the moment as I finish writing my thesis. Not only do I rely on it, I actually enjoy using it -and this at a time when the likes of Apple continue to suck the joy from computing. The advanced search functionality alone has always made DEVONthink worth it, and even that has improved, but it can do a whole lot more. Smart RulesĭEVONthink has always had serious automation tools. However, it has traditionally relied on deep AppleScript hooks and actions donated to the native macOS Automator app. Then there is the AI engine that can help automate the classification of documents, along with its core heuristic data analysis. Most of this functionality is now built into the app itself.īeyond that, the global inbox means a little forward thinking can always bring third-party tools like Hazel into play before the DEVONthink sorter takes over. With DEVONthink 3.0, we now have granular, dynamic user automation built into the software itself. The automator actions are gone, but in their place are user definable automation tools for building the kind of smart rules, and smart groups that Mac users will be used to. Last but not least, we have massively extended DEVONthink’s automation options for version 3. Smart rules perform actions based on events and search queries, where events can be anything from a scheduled time to the arrival of a newly imported document. You can also attach one-time or repeating reminders to any document. They support several alarm options including running scripts.
