New & Improved
DEVONthink 4.1 Europa
September 2025
This version is named after Europa, Jupiter’s fourth-largest moon. It is a captivating world encased in an icy shell that hides a global subsurface ocean, one of the most promising locations for extraterrestrial life in our solar system. Discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, its name, rooted in Greek mythology, reflects its enduring allure as a symbol of curiosity and the unknown.
Use OpenRouter or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint to connect to generative AIs not natively supported by DEVONthink. Separate settings for local and remote installations of Ollama give you even more flexibility.
Further automate your workflows by using natural language for creating your own scripts. Use AppleScript or JavaScript for Automation (JXA) to make scripts for smart rules, reminders, or extending DEVONthink’s menu.
Refine images, generated or dropping in your own, with AI by applying additional prompts until you get a perfect result. Remove objects, change the time of day, or put people into a new surrounding.
DEVONthink 4.0 Copernicus
July 2025
We’ve dedicated this version to the Copernicus lunar crater and its namesake, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Contrary to the prevailing view that the Earth was the center of everything, he proposed that the Earth revolved around the Sun. This crater, with its rays extending across the lunar surface, is as notable as the groundbreaking ideas of the man it honors.
The new chat assistant analyzes selected documents or texts, allows you to interactively work with text, or performs actions. Generative AI is optional and supports providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic or Mistral AI, as well as locally installed models via e.g. Ollama or LM Studio for privacy.
For changes to documents, such as text documents or PDFs, DEVONthink can automatically create versions that you can return to later if necessary. You can set how many versions it should keep, how much space they may use, and how long before DEVONthink removes them.
Revision-proof databases restrict editing of documents and log deletions. Export an audit log at any time to prove that your data is consistent. Suitable for financial documents or other documents with special requirements for revision safety.
Give controlled access to your databases with DEVONthink Server, even to those on other platforms. Use dark mode, navigate by keyboard. With a newly refined interfaces, working with shared databases is faster and easier than ever before.
Modernized AppleScript support with improved documentation and new commands. Add AI to your smart rules and batch processing, and save batch actions as reusable configurations. Use popular libraries in your scripts and let them get summoned automatically by many new triggers.
Study the connections between documents with the new interactive Graph inspector. Find documents with contextually similar words. Similar to Apple’s Live Text, DEVONthink makes your PDFs searchable, without requiring OCR. Quickly create cross-links with just a few keystrokes.
