![]() I’d looked at DT some time ago and let it go. The less good - great range of features (= learning curve to get the most from it) ugly interface (apparently due for a revamp in v3, but I don’t know when proprietary database (but really very good export options and indexing). The good - great security (keep the files on your own servers, encrypted) very good support great range of features tremendous searching scripting shedloads of way to get info into it connections from Mail and to Omnifocus with a url scheme very good IOS app excellent syncing with great control imports Evernote notes indexes existing files/folders and auto-reindexes very good AI I’ve been spending some with DT recently - I’m increasingly uncomfortable with Evernote (privacy, mainly, and it’s general outlook - plus the web clipper doesn’t work reliably any more - a known issue with no apparent solution). For your project I would definitely check it out before committing to Devonthink. It has a pretty robust free level, though I have chosen to pay for additional features. There are sometimes other avenues to create such links as well, depending on your device and appetite for research and set-up. You can copy the URL of any note and paste it into an Omnifocus note, creating a clickable link to your Evernote content. In addition, we support HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) for the Evernote service ( and you can also encrypt selected text in the evernote data on your computer. This is commonly referred to as transport layer security (“TLS”) or secure socket layer (“SSL”) technology. It does encrypt all transport (“Evernote uses industry standard encryption to protect your data in transit. There is a sophisticated, multilevel tag system, but sometimes browsing categorized groups of items would benefit from more sub-levels than the two provided. The only limitation is that its browsing structure has only two levels. It works fine for me, all my files are accessible on all my devices, and I haven’t had any sync changes since iCloud Drive + CloudKit came out back in… what… Yosemite?ĭevonthink is a wonderful, sophisticated program, but I found it more cumbersome than Evernote for clipping, uploading, and creating notes in all kinds of formats. Personally, these days I just use iCloud Drive, Spotlight, and tags. I think “Together” would be as close as you could get it probably syncs better than DEVONthink, but in my testing I found it rather “crashy.” IMO it’s dead BareBones hasn’t pulled it, but they are not developing it any more.Ĭurio… I think it’s really just for one computer? Is there any sync at all? I use 4 separate computers so I need something that works with all of them. Neither the macOS nor iOS version has been updated in YEARS. Its iPad support is awful (it’s read only, and syncs over WiFi). And iOS support used to be really bad, though I think it’s better. I used to use it extensively on a single Mac, but syncing to multiple Macs was a challenge. Something like DEVONthink but a bit more polished, pretty and intuitive.ĭoes anyone know of something? (I highly value encryption and data safety so Evernote is already out)ĭEVONthink is truly functional, but I share your distaste for its UI. Some app I can stuff everything I need into, that takes care of syncing and encrypting and something that I can rely on. I want something like… OmniFocus but for documents. Most search results are from 2009 or later and might not be relevant anymore. The shortcuts don’t make sense and require me to rebind almost everything manually with Keyboard Maestro or other apps. The UI is horrible and a lot of simple features are missing (changing the file extension of a file after importing it for example). It handles everything, encrypts files before uploading them into iCloud / Dropbox (which I value a lot) and even allows multiple sync destinations at the same time for backups! I like it a lot but it just feels like an app that didn’t get updated for a veeery long time (I know it is being maintained actively, but it still feels like one). I have stuff in iCloud, in Dropbox, in Notes, in 1Password - you name it.ĭEVONthink is really damn good. I want everything I reference in OF to be retrievable easily which I currently don’t do. I am currently organizing my life with OF but am very dreadful in document management. Okay this is a weird place to ask but I found out about DEVONthink here in the first place plus it seems to be a very popular combination with OF.
