I used Evernote extensively for notes + going paperless. Not sure why I never seen it before as it’s been around a very long time.
#DEVONTHINK TO GO ICLOUD FULL#
I found DevinThink at the end of last year and ended paying up for the full premium version for ocr when they had on a Christmas sale. It’s truly a fantastic piece of software.

Devon also has an inbox you can use with Finder, so when you drop a file into the folder, it automatically moves to an Inbox folder in Devon for you to process and move to a final destination within the app. You can open them directly using apps like Word, and Devon doesn’t care. This makes it easy to search and find them with tools like Alfred or Quicksilver or Spotlight. They’re indexed and stored in a folder hierarchy that you can still access. It’s one of a handful of apps that are always open on my desktop.ĭocuments aren’t stuffed into some database, either. It has fuzzy search capabilities and automatic OCR that is lightning fast. I scan documents directly into it, tag them, and sometimes link them from multiple folders, which Devon will do without copying them (or I can also copy them if I need to). It’ll do encrypted databases, and it has mobile apps that work great. I put everything in it, and I sync it between devices using WebDAV via Seafile, which also works to get data offsite in case the house burns down. I’ve been working with digital paper apps for years, and DEVONthink absolutely crushes everything else. I do all document management with an app called DEVONthink.
