Structure

Stay Organized

DEVONthink actively helps organize your notes, documents, articles,or links. Its AI technology suggests groups or tags, and it learns with every new document you add. Multiple views, smart groups, and our unique smart tagging approach give you the power and the freedom you need.

Tags and groups in DEVONthink are interchangeable. Use either or both for your perfect workflow.

Write

Get Ready for the Nobel Prize

When the research is done it’s time to write lab reports, presentation papers, or journal articles. Collect the materials you want to use by replicating them to a new group in DEVONthink. Use its advanced search and smart groups to always find the right document whenever you need it. Writing in fullscreen mode helps you stay focused.

DEVONthink lets you write plain text, Markdown, rich text, and HTML-based formatted notes.

Replicating places items in multiple groups at the same time without duplicating their data. Like two email addresses for the same person.
