With the Pro or Server edition, you can use DEVONthink to archive and organize your email. Emails have certain attributes you can use for processing them with tags, smart groups or smart rules. Here is how that works. #devonthink #email #automation #tagging #productivity buff.ly/rneoDVz

We all spend a lot of time on the Internet and clip content into our DEVONthink databases regularly. But web clipping is not trivial, especially as technologies change. In DEVONthink 4.4 Tycho we made this a lot better. #devonthink #clipping #markdown www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026090...

DEVONthink 4.4 Tycho is out and turns your AI assistant into a genuine co-worker: a AI Library lets you build and trigger roles, prompts, and skills, and the Chat assistant can use MCP tools directly. Markdown gets a big upgrade too. #devonthink #update buff.ly/8YKTqph

An application’s icon is typically considered as just something to click on to launch it. However, many developers add information and commands to it, and DEVONthink is no exception. Here is a quick overview of what you’ll find there. #devonthink #mac #macos #notetaking buff.ly/NGC4H05

DEVONthink To Go 4.2.2 is available. This maintenance release gives the selected item in the sidebar better contrast and no longer shows actions as icons if there's just one action in the row. It also improves sync robustness and fixes issues and crashes. #devonthinktogo #update buff.ly/eaGIabZ

We often talk about being diligent about backups. At a minimum, an external hard drive and Time Machine are much better than no backups. But a more robust option is the 3-2-1 backup strategy. We explain what that is and how you do it. #backup #datasafety #timemachine #arq #devonthink buff.ly/gvHvG7m

Batch processing is a simple type of automation in DEVONthink that you can use to quickly make changes to multiple items at once. One useful action is text replacement. Here's how you can use that. #devonthink #automation #workflow www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026081...

DEVONtechnologies @devontechnologies.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
The Pro and Server editions of DEVONthink have an action for smart rules and batch processes, that uses external AI to determine if a process should continue. Here is how to create conditional automations with it. #devonthink #ai #automation www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026080...

When creating searchable documents from images or PDF documents in DEVONthink Pro or Server, there are two mechanisms that process them: Apple’s Vision framework or traditional OCR. While seemingly similar in output, there are important differences. #devonthink #paperless #pdf #ocr buff.ly/crNXt8h

You might assume that apps will do certain things automatically. However, we prefer clear opt‑in controls rather than hidden opt‑outs. Here are a few optional things that are up to your control in DEVONthink or DEVONthink To Go. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #ai #sync #privacy buff.ly/g983kOz

Using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) you can make the data stored in DEVONthink and many of its abilities availble to your preferred AI client, e.g., Claude or Codex. But how does MCP work? We have made two new tutorial about it for you. #devonthink #mcp #ai buff.ly/RH8lYEk

Reminders are one way to automate work in DEVONthink. They let you set exact times, days, and well-defined recurrences for certain time-based actions like playing a sound, opening a document, or even running a script. Here is how that works. #devonthink #automation #workflow buff.ly/MLjSAZT

Very soon, macOS will no longer support Intel Macs. Upgrading hardware is also a good impetus to upgrade DEVONthink. If you're running the Pro or Pro Office editions of the 2.x line, here is the smoothest migration path to version 4. #devonthink #macos #upgrade #migration buff.ly/r4ajVTK
