Of course, DEVONthink is a 64-bit app, including a new 64-bit OCR engine supporting multi-core processing, Asian language support and output to multiple formats. Any digital image or PDF with a barcode will be recognised upon import as well. Using a keyboard-wedge scanner, you can now scan your paper document barcode and get an instant link between paper and digital. In DEVONthink 3, you just need to turn barcodes on in the Custom Metadata preferences and you’ll see a field, aptly called “Barcode”, appear. Only, there aren’t many “appropriate apps” out there for the Mac that support document management, let alone barcodes for this purpose. You either print them or stick them on the front of the document and you can always scan it using your Mac or iOS device and an appropriate app. For example, I am a big fan of managing paper documents using barcodes. Version 3 now supports custom metadata, including Boolean, numbers, sets, etc. Another feature that appealed to researchers in the broadest sense of the word, was DEVONthink’s metadata support. Version 3 adds to that power by supporting prefixes such as “name=”, “tags:” and others. One of the things why DEVONthink was a scientist’s – and a lawyer, and a journalist, and… - delight was its powerful search functionality. It also improves editing content a lot, including, for example, the support for markdown. It’s now unified with support for dark mode on macOS Mojave and with a gorgeous overall design that makes working with databases, those freeform records, concordances and other content analysis tools, a lot easier and more fun. The interface update is obviously what you’ll notice as soon as you launch the app. DEVONthink is what we used to call a “freeform database manager”, which basically means its records can be anything from images to text snippets and complete documents.ĭEVONthink allows for machine learning based data mining on a desktop scale and version 3 not only contains a much-needed interface update (the previous version was starting to show its age) but a lot of other power features as well. More or less out of the blue, DEVONtechnologies released its first beta of DEVONthink 3.
