The makers of DEVONthink and DEVONagent, apps that tame the information flood. We all are Mac users by heart and are writing on the Mac and for macOS and iOS.
Batch processing is a simple type of automation in DEVONthink that you can use to quickly make changes to multiple items at once. One useful action is text replacement. Here's how you can use that. #devonthink #automation #workflow www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026081...
The Pro and Server editions of DEVONthink have an action for smart rules and batch processes, that uses external AI to determine if a process should continue. Here is how to create conditional automations with it. #devonthink #ai #automation www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026080...
DEVONthink To Go 4.2.1 is out. Item counting is faster, sync downloads data more quickly, and we've fixed a range of crashes and smaller issues. Get it via the App Store. #devonthinktogo #update www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonth...
When creating searchable documents from images or PDF documents in DEVONthink Pro or Server, there are two mechanisms that process them: Apple’s Vision framework or traditional OCR. While seemingly similar in output, there are important differences. #devonthink #paperless #pdf #ocr buff.ly/crNXt8h
In the Pro and Server editions of DEVONthink, you can create personalized stamps to mark your PDFs and images. In a new tutorial, we show you how to create and use these imprints. #devonthink #tutorial #pdf #imprinting www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026072...
If you frequently read in DEVONthink To Go and prefer reading in fullscreen view, things just got better with its new distraction-free Zen mode. We show you how to use it. #devonthinktogo #workflow #work #pdf buff.ly/EKWrQV6
When using AI on mobile devices, you typically access cloud services like. You can’t run a full local model on an iPhone today, but you can run one on your Mac and connect DEVONthink To Go to it. Here is how that works. #devonthinktogo #ai #artificalintelligence #privacy buff.ly/je1xyC0
DEVONthink To Go 4.2 Chandra is here. It introduces a distration-free mode, a redesigned icon view, and updated OCR. Create or edit images using a new popover, and add notes or scan documents from the lock screen or Control Center. #devonthinktogo #update #distractionfree #ai #ocr buff.ly/cMRRrJ8
When you get a new Mac, your user account gets set up for day-to-day use. But adding a second user account has some real benefits. And while it may sound complicated, it is straightforward to do. Here we show you how to do this and why. #mac #macos #troubleshooing buff.ly/DKj5FtL
Joe Kissel from @takecontrolbooks.com has published the fourth quaterly update for his ebook Take Control of DEVONthink 4. It now covers our new MCP Server, the widgets, and the new support for RSS feeds in DEVONthink To Go. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #ebook buff.ly/geEN695
You might assume that apps will do certain things automatically. However, we prefer clear opt‑in controls rather than hidden opt‑outs. Here are a few optional things that are up to your control in DEVONthink or DEVONthink To Go. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #ai #sync #privacy buff.ly/g983kOz
Using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) you can make the data stored in DEVONthink and many of its abilities availble to your preferred AI client, e.g., Claude or Codex. But how does MCP work? We have made two new tutorial about it for you. #devonthink #mcp #ai buff.ly/RH8lYEk
Reminders are one way to automate work in DEVONthink. They let you set exact times, days, and well-defined recurrences for certain time-based actions like playing a sound, opening a document, or even running a script. Here is how that works. #devonthink #automation #workflow buff.ly/MLjSAZT
DEVONthink lets you use several common file formats: PDF documents for reading, RTF or Markdown for note taking, and many more. But if you need to record information in a spreadsheet-style format, we also have a native format for that: sheets. #devonthink #tsv #csv buff.ly/NeYVQs9
DEVONthink To Go 4.1.3 is out. It gives the integrated help pages an overhaul and resolves a number of issues, including a crash in the chat, UI delays, and deadlocks. It also fixes dates in feed articles and syncing bundle documents. #devonthinktogo #update www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonth...
DEVONthink To Go lets you scan documents directly into your database. You can capture single pages or multi-page documents and even make them fully searchable. Here is how to do it. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #capture #scanning www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026060...
DEVONthink 4.3.1 further refines our Markdown parser with options like better image styling and captions, improved inline footnotes, and some fixes. This release also improves the MCP server and supports Claude Opus 4.8. #devonthink #markdown #mcp #ai #claude buff.ly/iUTcx90
Very soon, macOS will no longer support Intel Macs. Upgrading hardware is also a good impetus to upgrade DEVONthink. If you're running the Pro or Pro Office editions of the 2.x line, here is the smoothest migration path to version 4. #devonthink #macos #upgrade #migration buff.ly/r4ajVTK
DEVONthink To Go 4.1.2 is available! It adds emergency notification support so we can reach you quickly if a critical update is held up for some reason. We've also fixed a whole range of issues, including ones related to item counting and wrong RSS article dates. #devonthinktogo buff.ly/pctjHxu
MCP is a mechanism that allows AI assistants to communicate with apps to accomplish tasks for you. DEVONthink 4.3 now has its own MCP support built-in that lets your preferred AI agent access and work with your databases. #devonthink #mcp #artificialintelligence #automation buff.ly/UoUkAXr
This release brings our own MCP server, a bridge from your databases to AI apps, built with privacy and security at its core. Version 4.3 also introduces a new Markdown parser, widgets, sweeping AI improvements, and a raft of updated models. #devonthink #update #mcp #markdown #ai buff.ly/8mOrWm8
If you use custom metadata in DEVONthink Pro and Server or DEVONthink To Go, you’ve probably used text-based attributes like Single-Line Text. But have you ever wondered about the various text types and their differences? #devonthink #devonthinktogo #metadata #productivity buff.ly/vngrDMV
DEVONthink’s unified elements collect all inboxes and Tags groups from your open databases in one place in the Navigate sidebar, making it easy to find what you need. Here is how to unify different elements in DEVONthink and what that does. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #productivity buff.ly/SC7U3xh
DEVONthink To Go 4.1.1 Lagrange is available better database verification and repair, unified generic naming, and bug fixes. #devonthinktogo #update www.devontechnologies.com/apps/devonth...
Callouts are a Markdown feature for highlighting tips, notes, or important information as text blocks — familiar, e.g., from textbooks or online tutorials. DEVONthink To Go also supports them in your Markdown documents. Here is how to use them. #devonthinktogo #markdown #notetaking buff.ly/i9fXAxB
While you’re reading through a PDF or other document in DEVONthink, you may run into words or phrases and wonder what other documents may contain them. You could start a new search manually, but there is a more efficient method. #devonthink #productivity buff.ly/tumsizb
With DEVONthink To Go 4.1 Lagrange we introduced widgets for your iOS home screen. They let you conveniently access your most important data and help you keep updated with your news right from your home screen. Here is how you use them. #devonthinktogo #widgets #ios buff.ly/aJudKvu
DEVONthink To Go 4.1 Lagrange is here! It brings widgets, support for RSS feeds, and a new Markdown renderer. It also improves the editing workflow, adds search to the group selector, and lets you edit geolocations. #devonthinktogo #devonthink #update #widgets #rss #atom #markdown buff.ly/d8pwpaz
If you've ever needed to consolidate content from multiple documents, you likely used copy and paste. Markdown file transclusion lets you keep the documents separated but show them as a single document. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #markdown #transclusion #notetaking buff.ly/qiViFqI
