DEVONthink Pro for Mac

DEVONthink Pro for Mac is your trusted supplementary brain. It's the one store for all your documents that also helps you keep them organized and presents you with just the right data you need for your work.

DEVONthink keeps all your information in one easy-to-backup database and presents it to you in a variety of ways optimized to your work style. Multiple views help you quickly navigate your data.

Let the app automatically file new documents for you based on how you filed similar documents. Later, the advanced search function retrieves the documents that you need for your task, while smart groups present related data together.

Quickly find similar documents using keywords extracted from the document and the unique "See also" function.

Collect, analyze, summarize, write: With the tool you have all you need in one app that actively supports your workflow. View all your data in one place, use an innovative approach to tags to quickly organize documents, and write in the enhanced rich text editor. Use manual or automatic Wiki-style links to effortlessly cross-reference your work.

Store your documents in the self-contained database or simply reference them by using the index feature. Clip data from other apps with just a keystroke, adding it to the GTD®-like inbox for later filing, or take notes with the Take Note panel or the Dashboard widget. Browser extensions, the Services menu, and the Sorter panel integrate DEVONthink for macOS with your workflow.

Sync your data directly on the local network, via WebDAV or Dropbox, or using just anything mountable, e.g. a USB stick or SD card. You decide what data is synced, when, and to which locations. Full AES 256 bit encryption keep everyone out who you don't want to let in. Your data belongs to you, not to your service provider or us.

Use separate databases for each project, and let automatic grouping create order from chaos. Add RSS feeds to your database to automatically import new articles, or download and archive full websites.

The concordance gives you a real-time analysis of your data.
