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.

What's new in this version:

- This maintenance release lets you mirror DEVONthink reminders to Apple Reminders via a new script. It also includes a hidden preference to disable dark mode only for PDF documents on macOS Tahoe or later, and lets you run batch processing on specified records via AppleScript. The Pro and Server editions support Claude Sonnet and Opus 4.6 and improve the support for zAI and Qwen models. The update brings several fixes, too, e.g., for lists in rich text documents not displaying in macOS Tahoe.

New:
- The Scripts > Reminders > Export to Reminders menu item mirrors DEVONthink reminders to a DEVONthink list in Apple Reminders
- A hidden preference, `DisablePDFDarkMode`, disables dark mode for PDF documents on macOS Tahoe or later
- The `perform batch configuration… record` AppleScript command lets you run a batch configuration on specified records

New (Server):
- In the web interface, the toolbar search now supports the `scope:` prefix and its abbreviation, `s:`, similar to the `search` AppleScript command (see below)

Improved:
- Search hits in PDF documents are better visible in dark mode on macOS Tahoe
- Sorting sheets is more reliable on columns with identical cell content, especially dates
- DEVONthink now better captures web content as clutter-free documents
- The width of the current main or document window again determines the maximum width of the inspectors pane
- The Thumbnails inspector is more reliable and should alleviate some rare crashes, e.g., caused after moving documents
- Updated icon for the Global Inbox counterpart in the Finder
- The AppleScript `search` command now supports the `scope:` prefix (or its abbreviation, `s:`) if you leave the `in` parameter unspecified or as a missing value. Supported scopes are: `all`, `inboxes`, `inbox`, `tags`, `trash`, or the quoted name of a database.

Improved (Pro):
- Updated support for Claude Sonnet and Opus to version 4.6 via the native API and OpenRouter. The script assistant also uses the latest version of Claude Sonnet. For both models, DEVONthink uses adaptive thinking and effort instead of budget tokens (only natively via Anthropic).
- The AI > Research Report - PDF, AI > Research Report - HTML, and AI > The Devonian Times templates now use Claude Sonnet 4.6
- Replaced zAI's GLM 4.7 with the latest version GLM 5 from OpenRouter
- Improved support for zAI's GLM 4.x models
- Optional support for API keys for LM Studio 0.4.0 or newer
- Updated or replaced various OpenRouter models for the script assistant with more powerful models. Additionally, we have removed several OpenRouter models that no longer exist.

Fixed:
- Lists, e.g., bulleted lists, in rich text documents didn't display correctly on macOS Tahoe
- Checkboxes in sheets, as well as boolean custom metadata in List views in the higher editions, didn't display correctly on the latest macOS releases
- In the Info > Annotations & Reminders inspector, text colors in Markdown annotation documents were inconsistent
- Dates in sheets or List view columns weren't parsed correctly if the date contained a four-digit year and didn't match the format set in the system settings
- PDF text and note annotations didn't always remember their last used font, so changes such as moving or editing text reverted them to a default font
- Clipping paginated PDF documents didn't build them correctly on macOS Tahoe
- Emptying the trash could show a wrong, unnecessary alert in case of indexed, trashed items which can't be deleted (e.g. located in the user's library folder)
- Finder tags of updated indexed items were used if the option to export Finder tags (see Settings > Files > Tags) was enabled instead of the option to import Finder tags
- Removing all tags, e.g., via Data > Tags > Remove All Tags, didn't trigger the `On Tagging` event of smart rules
- Minor visual glitches of File > Database Properties popover in the case of read-only databases
- The `createRecordWith` JXA command didn't support all properties of smart groups
- The `unlinked Wiki links` AppleScript property was incorrectly included in the `properties` property
- The direct, unnamed parameter of the `search` AppleScript command wasn't marked as required and can't be a missing value

Fixed (Pro):
- Settings > Imprinter didn't always save modified options
- Changing the duplex setting of the scanner interface could freeze the application

Removed (Pro):
- Removed unsupported GPT Audio and GPT Audio Mini models from OpenRouter
- Removed obsolete MoonshotAI Kimi K2 0905 and MoonshotAI Kimi K2 Thinking models from OpenRouter. Use the latest MoonshotAI Kimi K2.5 model instead.
- Removed obsolete zAI's GLM 4.5 Air model from OpenRouter. Use the new GLM 4.7 Flash model instead.
- Removed Qwen3 Max and Qwen3 VL models from OpenRouter. Use the latest Qwen3.5 models instead.
