The new text note entry is a feature I use many times a day now as I go from one meeting to the next. Web Clip: Lets you capture content from a web pageīefore this update all of these types of new entries were possible with DEVONthink, but not within just a click or two like it is now.Each icon lets you create a different kind of new note/entry item: That pops up a new note menu with 5 icons across the top. The new DEVONthink menu bar shortcuts (upper right hand corner) lets you capture information even faster (Reproduced by permission of DEVONtechnologies)Īs you can see from the screenshot above the new menu item feature is accessed by clicking on the “DEVONthink” text in the menu bar. This may not sound like a very big deal, but the implementation of this new feature is quite impressive. The first new feature I wanted to showcase is new note menu item for quickly capturing new notes. But there were a few updates that I think are worth going into more detail about. Things are just going to work much better, but it may not jump out immediately at the user. Examples would be the completely rewritten web interface and the better OCR engine. While there were a significant number of updates and new features added as part of DEVONthink 3.0, many of the improvements were under the hood enhancements and may not be apparent right away to all users. They just need a bit more time to make the modifications necessary so that they conform with Apple’s sand boxing rules associated with the Mac App Store. DEVONthink 3.0 is ONLY available from the DEVONtechnologies website and is not yet available from the Mac App Store. I’ve had a lot of bad experiences with this on other software platforms so I was happy to see that DEVONtechnologies made management of seats simple and intuitive. But I was able to login to my customer account and revoke one of my seats and complete my second installation. I got my review license for DEVONthink 3.0 just before the whole pandemic hit and I think somehow in all that chaos I must have installed DEVONthink on my work computer twice because during what I thought was my second computer installation I was told both of my seats were already in use. You can also manage which computer is using each seat from your license using your customer account with DEVONtechnologies. If you need to run the software on more than two computers you can purchase additional seats on your license. So now, every license for DEVONthink 3.0 comes with two seats which allows you two install the software on two different machines (typically one work and one home computer). DEVONthink is now using the “seat” concept as part of their licensing model. DEVONtechnologies has a web page dedicated to explaining the new product line structure and the various upgrade choices you have here.Īnother important change to highlight is a change to the licensing model. Ok, technically there are three if you count DEVONthink Server (a version meant to run and be used in a server environment) but that is for a very targeted set of people and not the majority of customers and isn’t covered in this review. There are now only two main versions of DEVONthink, DEVONthink and DEVONthink Pro.
