DEVONthink Pro for Mac

  -  136 MB  -  Trial
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:

New:
- New Enable/Disable Actions contextual and action menu items allow switching smart rules on or off.
- The new option Preferences > General > Interface > Document windows prefer fullscreen tells DEVONthink to open document windows in fullscreen if another of its windows is already in fullscreen.

Improved:
- Improved handling of aliases and symbolic links, e.g., when indexing, deleting, and opening items externally, as well as with the Data > Show in Finder and File > Update Indexed Items commands.
- Repairing a database via File > Verify & Repair Database marks as pending any imported documents shown as No File. This makes it possible to download these items from a sync location if they are still available in/from the sync location. Note: This does not apply to indexed items.
- Markdown transclusions referencing HTML documents or formatted notes now embed the HTML source instead of a conversion. In addition, referenced sheets are directly embedded as HTML, too, instead of Markdown as large sheets could crash the MultiMarkdown engine. Opening transcluded documents happens also faster.
- Improved conversions of sheets to plain text and Markdown as well as of rich text documents to Markdown.
- The toolbar search prefixes width, height, duration, hits, length, wordcount, charactercount, and size now support range operations, specifying the limits via prefix:lowerlimit-upperlimit. For example, width:1024-1280 is identical to width>=1024 width<=1280.
- Sorting by flag, e.g., by choosing View > Sort by Flag will now use the label color if Preferences > General > Appearance > Labels has been set to As flags.
- The Outgoing Links section of the Document > Links inspector now supports links in sheets.
- The user-agent string while clipping is more compatible to certain websites, e.g., arxiv.org.
- All smart rule scripts are now performed in the background. This improves the responsiveness of the application and fixes some rare freezes caused by JXA scripts.

Improved (Sync):
- In case of failed automatic verifications before synchronizing, a notification for each affected database is shown in Notification Center.

Fixed:
- PDF pages inserted into another PDF via dragging to the Document > Thumbnails inspector or copy/paste would yield blank pages with no content. Fixed.
- File > Updated Indexed Items and automatic updates after filesystem events didn't remove an item if an indexed file was moved from indexed folders in the Finder to other folders. Fixed.
- Markdown transclusions using the filename without an extension didn't work. Fixed.
- Text wrapping and the scrollbar didn't always work correctly after toggling between the preview and source views of web or Markdown documents. Fixed.
- Rich text documents wouldn't convert to Markdown correctly if the first line contained a colon. Fixed.
- A PDF could be marked as modified after clicking on internal links. Fixed.
- A toolbar search using the extension: search prefix didn't use all specified extensions when unneeded spaces were used, e.g., extension:png; pdf. Fixed.
- The Table of Contents inspector didn't display correctly with Markdown section headings containing escaped colons.
- The Table of Contents inspector didn't ignore emboldened or underlined lines not containing any alphanumerical characters in rich text documents. Fixed.
- File > Export > As website didn't export selected Markdown documents if the HTML entities option was disabled in the export options. Fixed.
- An incorrect number of occurrences was sometimes shown in the Search inspector for some PDFs. Fixed.
- The thumbnail of clipped PDFs could be transparent on recent macOS versions. Fixed.

Fixed (Sync):
- The warning that currently opened databases contain not yet downloaded items wasn't shown by Preferences > Sync before cleaning a complete sync location if the location wasn't selected first. The generic warning before cleaning was shown instead. Fixed.
- The garbage collection of sync stores could crash on rare occasions due to a multi-threading issue. Fixed.
- Unnecessary sync runs could be performed on quit if Synchronize: On Quit or Deactivation was enabled in Preferences > Sync. Fixed.
