Not having to first save something to the Database, then file it within the database is speeding things up for me.

I am finding that the iX500 with its ScanSnap Manager and built in ABBYFinereader OCR, combined with full and proper use of Spotlight, and syncing with Dropbox is working better overall for me. Spend a few minutes in the DEVONthink and DEVONthink to GO (iOS app) forums to see what I mean. Sync'ing can be done, but compared to best practice it is clunky, limiting and has problems. iOS 7 has killed syncing Numbers docs, which was the final straw for me. However, what has not been pointed out is DEVONthink's achilles heel and the reason why I have finally given up on it.SYNCING between devices, other Macs, iPads and iPhones.

I have DEVONthink Pro Office and ScanSnap iX500 and agree with nearly all that has been said about both. It's a bit like saying a document folder is like OmniFocus, because you could store a to do list in it. So While Evernote has some basic functionality shared with OmniFocus, OmniFocus and Devonthink have nothing in common.

Devonthink does not have to do list functionality, although you could have a task document (word, excel or text file for example) stored in it. It is way more powerful than a simple to do list that you can create in Evernote. OmniFocus is a very powerful GTD (Getting Things Done) Task and project management App. Evernote does have some additional checkbox type functionality to create simple to do lists.

DevonThink does have some rich text note creation facilities, which could be used to create a basic manual to do list, but is not its primary purpose. In a classic case of "if A=B and B=C then A=C" I thought, "if people are using DEVONthink to replace Evernote and I used Omnifocus to replace Evernote, then maybe DEVONthink and Omnifocus overlap in their functionality.Įvernote is a document storage system that also allows you to create text notes that can be used to create simple to do lists.ĭEVONthink is a document storage database with built in intelligence to help you locate documents stored in it. When I saw the bundle with DEVONthink I did a couple of web searches and it seems like there was a lot out there on DEVONthink vs. So far Omnifocus which has fulfilled my needs very nicely.


At the same time I had a friend raving about Omnifocus so I thought "what the heck" and bought Omnigraffle, Omnifocus and several other apps to maximize the discount.įast forward, I found some limitations in Evernote and remembering that I had Omnifocus, tried switching. I discovered that Omni offers a discount in their online store that for each additional app you buy, take an additional 5% off your order price up to 30%. Jumping back a bit in time I needed to buy Omnigraffle for a business project.

I started using Evernote to capture thoughts which mostly were to-dos like 'follow up with this person per their email request' or 'research the answer to this question and get back to so-and-so." The vast majority of the items I was jotting down stem from work and email and making sure certain things didn't fall through the cracks. The reason I asked about the two apps is that I have a bit of association going on. I see some of you out there never miss a chance to poke a little fun
