You can even collect and organize data from the Web for your own use, enrich it with sound and movie files from your hard drive, and then export the finished product as a Web site or to an Apple Pages document to print, should you so desire. Use it as your document repository, your filing cabinet, your email archive, or your project organizer DEVONthink can do it all.

And if the files are not digital yet, digitize them with DEVONthink Pro Office. Boasting a refined artificial intelligence, DEVONthink is exceedingly flexible and adapts to your personal needs. It is your second brain, the one and only database for all your digital files, be they PDFs, emails, Word docs, or even multimedia files. DEVONthink is the solution to the digital age conundrum. Questions eventually pop up, like where do you store all of this stuff? How do you organize these very different file types, and even better, how do you find the exact file you're looking for the second you need it? It's almost as if you need a second brain just to keep your digital life straight. From shopping receipts to important research papers, your life often fills your hard drive in the form of emails, PDFs, Word documents, multimedia files, and more. I'd like to scan in receipts and keep them stored away for reference.DEVONthink Pro Office is a knowledge base, information manager, and much more. In other products, like DevonThinkPro, it's useful to have scanning support - especially PDFs etc. That is unacceptable, but the ease of use makes it tolerable. But a very annoying limitations of Yojimbo is that you cannot edit out certain objects like ads (according to Barebones, anyway). One of my primary activities is archiving web pages.

I think Yojimbo is what I'll stay with, but I really hope they will consider extending its capabilities. There are a few other features I suggested, too. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to design your own custom form? Nested folders, a must.

Yet, on the flip side, I've emailed Barebones about Yojimbo and different features I'd like to see - the responses were professional and quick, but it didn't seem like they were really interested in extending Yojimbo.įor example, the passwords fields. For me, if something is that confusing, then I'm not going to use it (certainly not for organizing). I just downloaded DevonthinkPro and I find it a little confusing. The sidebar agent and browser macros install, and you're off and running. I am sure some have used both DevonThink and Yojimbo for their one stop solution for data capture, but for me I use both for their strengths as I need them.Īt first glance, Yojimbo seems much more easier to use. So when I am just capturing snippets of information that are an area of comprehensive research Yojimbo is a life saver.

#DEVONTHINK VS DEVONNOTE SERIAL#
Yojimbo is a much better place to put everything, basically because of its rapid capture ability, recognition of different data types (passwords, bookmarks, serial numbers, etc.), and tagging. (For instance both use the words Evangelist, but mean different things.) When they were combined in Devonthink I would get weird search results because there are different meanings for words in those different worlds. So, I use Devonthink to keep structured research of the professional areas I need to have current and organized information for, which is Ministry and Social Media for me. That said, if you use Devonthink as a catch all it turns into muddy water. The whole point of Devonthink is using the combination of your understanding of how the information needs structured combined with the AI abilities of Devonthink to learn from you and make your research incredible.

I am using both because for me they server two different purposes. This is hugely critical for me (as I say, a simple desktop search client for the Mac would get around this, but DTPO is much more than that). There are ways around this in DTPO, though (i.e, not always using the tree view).ĮDITED TO ADD: everything is searchable as well - including the pdfs that you import. Nested folders are quite nice, but if you have quite a few layers and you're looking at it in tree view, can get confusing. I was a huge user of Microsoft's OneNote before I switched (back) to Mac, and DTPO is superior in every regard save for some small UI issues that I don't like.
#DEVONTHINK VS DEVONNOTE SOFTWARE#
Overall, DTPO is a pretty powerful software application. A second database I use indexes email content (largely because nobody, including Apple, seems be interested in figuring out a decent desktop search client that taps into Entourage or Mail - don't get me started on Spotlight). The main database I use is 2.4GB, and the application loads very quickly. I use it to capture webpages, for writing (it's actually not a bad word processor if all if you want to do, at least initially, is write text), and importing/indexing a HUGE database of journal articles in. I use (bought) DevonThink Pro Office (DTPO).
