Databases are collections of “files” and “folders”: I quoted the two words, because you won’t see them as conventional files and folders on your hard disk, but they are viewed as such in DevonThink’s main window.

In the following screenshots, the application and its interface are in English (localization is available also in German, French and Danish), but contents are usually in Italian: I hope you apologize me, but I wanted to show you DevonThink Pro in real-life applications.ĭevonThink organizes your data into one or more databases, stored in your ~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink Pro folder, that can be automatically backed up from hourly to monthly. I’m going to review version 1.1.1 of DevonThink Pro. An easy upgrade path is available from the Personal to the Professional version, by just paying the difference. This is the field where DevonThink aims at helping users.Īvailable in two flavours, Personal (€ 33.57 or USD 39.95 + taxes) and Professional (€ 67.18 or USD 79.95 + taxes), both of them already compiled as Universal Binaries, we’ll discuss here of the Professional version only, since it’s the most feature complete. That’s why applications that help organizing data and files, keeping track of ideas and notes, and cross-link resources of different kind are always much appreciated by scientists. The ways all these files are interconnected are usually complex and cannot be easily reflected into the hierarchical structure we give to our folders on our disks. Each day, a researcher has to deal with a lot of data in different formats coming from different sources: measurements, graphs, papers, reviews, web pages, notes, laboratory journals, tables, schemes, pictures etc.
