![]() ![]() Myself I have one tikklerfile, one archive, one someday/maybe and one for active projects. ![]() How have you set up the “masterfolders” in DT? One archive and one reference materials for ongoing projects? Classify from Global Inbox into correct databasesĭvcrn: thank your for your post, that really inspire me!.Quick move / Quick open / Quick navigate.Prettier markdown preview/editor on mac.I’m still not at a zen and am still trying to figure correct tagging out, but step by step I’m getting there. And even if not, DT can likely find them anyway.ĭT single-handedly replaced a ton of apps for me: notes, bookmarks, reading list, articles, document manager, RSS reader, archiver, sync agent, file search, data encrypter It gives me great piece of mind to know that all my important things are encrypted, backed up to multiple locations and organized in a clear way. So yeah, DT silently turned into one of my most used and most important apps on my mac and phone. When done, if the document is important, I archive it in DT (into a separate Archive database) or kill it. Not much more to explain here, we all know Omnifocus :p I don’t need to search for the correct email / document because everything is neatly organized, linked and synced within DT. Tag things, assign contexts/dates and organizeĪct: When it’s time to do the task or when I want to do more research, I usually don’t need anything else except DT and my task manager. Everything ends up in the inbox of either app, nothing floats around in ‘void’ like my email mailbox or document stack at home.Ĭlassify: Run OCR on physical documents, sort from inbox into correct database. Create tasks when necessary in Omnifocus/Things with deeplink back to DT. Use workflows within Alfred to rapidly shovel files and text dumps away. I also have workflows that import something into DEVONthink and directly create a task in Things/OmnifocusĬollect: Use scanbot / document scanner for collecting physical documents, sharing/clipping/send to DEVONthink for digital things. The sharing extension can create a task with deeplink in omnifocus, or I could just select an item and hit ‘copy link’. On my phone I started using Workflow to interact with DEVONthink to go and move everything from emails, notes, pictures and other things that need an action into it. Not perfect (I really need quickjump, quick move to), but it’s getting better! I expanded it with a couple Applescripts for moving things around, and rewired a bunch of the keybindings with Keyboardmaestro. The UI is still clunky, but turning it minimal and only using the ‘Split View’ helped a lot. For that I went ahead and shoved everything into Abbyy and similar tools.ĭEVONthinks classifier is killer! I could drop a OCRed document without any manual input into my Database inbox, and DEVONthink can with very good accuracy suggest the correct place where this document most likely belongs, and what documents could be related to it. I started to embrace OCR and tried going completely paperless. Rather than take up space on dropbox or my webdav server, I sync directly between my Mac and my iPad.Ĭompletely agree about the interface but I couldn’t find another piece of software that is as capable or scriptable. ![]() I have some databases with thousands of PDFs that rarely change. Multiple sync locations that can be redundant including directly between devices. You can edit the files using Textastic, PDFExpert, etc…įor me the huge selling point was the flexible and encrypted sync. Similarly for iOS, you can use the Files app and see all the documents across all the DEVONThink databases. I routinely edit PDFs in PDF Expert, edit all my text based files in Sublime, and DEVONThink sees the changes and indexes them. I think it is worth mentioning since 1) I initial though the same too 2) recently mentioned on the MacPowerUser Facebook page: that while the meta data is a proprietary format, your files on OSX are stored in the file system, even if you import them. ![]()
