![]() ![]() (In fact, as I write this, I'm now dropping Evernote in favour of a plain-text note taking system using nvAlt and indexing with DEVONthink, yet I need to take some time to write this up properly for you)ĭEVONthink comes in four flavours - DEVONthink Pro Office, DEVONthink Pro, DEVONthink Personal and DEVONthink To GO and, as you would expect, they come with differing levels of functionality. If it's a one-off note about something which is not going to need to be referred to long-term and has a very short shelf-life, then it's one for Evernote. If it's related to a much larger project, then that's going straight into DEVONthink. If the file or note that I am creating would ordinarily be stored in some form of physical filing cabinet or folder, then I'm going to keep it in DEVONthink. I used to struggle with knowing exactly what to use DEVONthink for as opposed to a different application, such as Evernote. No longer do you need to store Office files, PDFs or bookmarks in separate applications - simply keep them all in DEVONthink. The whole point of DEVONthink's existence is to make it as easy as possible for you to be able to store and retrieve any information. Yet as my databases mature, this will change, however my use of the application has definitely reached a maturity now that justifies a re-write so I hope you enjoy.ĭEVONthink is essentially a database for tagging and tracking all kinds of information. Also, there are some great Search parameters that can be used, which I don't feel I need to that much currently. I don't use that too much, namely because I utilise tags far more than I use folders. ![]() For example, one thing that sets DEVONthink Pro Office above it's competitors is the amazing AI engine that allows you to have your files automatically classified and filed. However, I'm using this as an opportunity to refresh my memory as to some of the functions that I don't find myself leveraging as much as I could do. It's going to take a while because DEVONthink Pro Office is such a huge application. In fact, I'm so into the application at the moment, I'm going to re-write the articles from scratch! I use DEVONthink Pro Office as my paperless office solution and over the last twelve months, my workflows have matured, reaching the stage now whereby I feel as though I need to provide you with some updates. Just over a year ago now, I created a series of posts that highlighted how I use a quite wonderful product called DEVONthink Pro Office. ![]()
