DEVONthink® 2.0

Your Smart Information Assistant

New Features and Improvements

Primary new features and improvements in DEVONthink include but are not limited to:

Use the improved search with advanced Boolean and proximity search operators (as known from DEVONagent) and an unlimited complexity of search terms. Save even the most complex searches as seamlessly integrated smart groups.

Quickly save documents to the universal inbox and file them properly later. The new trash keeps documents up until you empty it. Unlimited undo and redo make using DEVONthink more comfortable and safe.

Open more than one database at the same time (Pro and Pro Office only) and view or edit multiple documents next to each other in tabs. Organize your documents in groups or tag them; smart tagging lets you use both.

Add data to any DEVONthink Pro database or write down notes using the independent Sorter. Connect the Sorter to specific groups in your databases and drop documents or clippings to them even when DEVONthink is not open.

The 'Clip to DEVONthink' Safari and Firefox extension and bookmarklet for any web browser supporting bookmarkets lets you save selected text or whole web pages to a database with just one click as plain text, web archive, PDF, or HTML.

Convert your scans to searchable PDFs. DEVONthink preserves the original design of the pages but adds an invisible text layer that makes all recognized text selectable and searchable The new OCR engine is based on ABBYY FineReader which is more accurate and more reliable than the engine used in earlier versions.

All documents are stored as-is now, you can edit them using any external application and link to them using a standard URL. DEVONthink 2.0 supports many more common file formats, e.g., Microsoft Word, OpenOffice, iWork files, or Skim files. It also indexes and displays all files supported by or supporting Spotlight and Quicklook, e.g., Mellel.

Smart document templates add new pre-styled designed documents to your database and even fill them out for you. Add your own templates with just one click. The much improved RSS feed support integrates news feeds with the rest of your documents (Pro and Pro Office only).

Share your databases and let your colleagues access your DEVONthink through the new interactive web interface based on the latest web technologies. Your Windows friends are invited, too, of course — and so are iPhone and iPod touch. Click here to see it in action.
