Unfortunately I need those complexity-inducing features.Īh, and upon closer inspection, it looks as though EF doesn't support "Indexing" (the term DEVONThink uses for referencing files in place in the original file system). While EF is a bit less expensive and includes PDFPen OCR, PDFPen has routinely performed with less accuracy than ABBYY OCR that is included with DEVONThink Pro Office, which I use.ĮF looks like a great alternative for some people who aren't in need of some of the more complexity-inducing features in DEVONThink. However, as far as I can tell there is none of the Artificial Intelligence in EF that DT has, which has become critical to my workflow. The EF web clipper is fantastic as well.ĮF looks interesting and certainly shares some similarities with DT (Just as Evernote does). However, I have found EF to be quite a bit simpler, easy to use, with great tools. I can tell you are excited about DT, which is a nice product. EF has been a life saver for me in going completely paperless. I think you should also take a look at EagleFiler, by C-Command Software: (Mac based only)ĮagleFiler can do all that DT and EN can do, without the cloud, with the Encryption, can upload to any cloud of your choice for mobile use, etc.

So, hopefully here we can learn more about DT, and how to strike the right balance between Evernote and DT. OTOH, Evernote offers ease of use, sync across almost all platforms, and the best web clipper, bar none. It seems that they have taken the opposite approach of Evernote, offering the user a wide array of preferences and customizations.
#CREATE NEW FOLDER DEVONTHINK PRO 2 FOR MAC#
But for Mac users, it offers many advantages and features in a PIM tool that we have been requesting from Evernote for years. Like ScottLougheed posted, I doubt that DT can, or will, completely replace Evernote. I made the below post in the "Power User." thread, but I think it is better to continue the discussion here, in its own thread.įirst, let me say that DT is currently available ONLY for Mac and iOS users.
