I don't have more than maybe 4 levels under anything, except where there are year/month breakdowns.ĪFAIK Devon doesn't work outside of its own folder/database.
Then I created some folders for large groups, like "Documents" at home or "Projects" for work, and broke it down from there. It took me a couple of nights of watching videos before bed to get my head around it. I went through their whole tutorial video section on the site, and a complementary section on how other people use Devon (author, lawyer, some other types). WebDAV for syncing completely makes sense and was another reason I purchased it. My idea is to use WebDAV with all access via VPN to get same sync functionality as Evernote. WSGIWebDav seemed to work ok testing but not set it up properly yet on my NAS, wasn’t sure about trying Apache. What WebDAV server are you using? I tried NGinx but had issues as NGinx doesn’t fully support WebDAV, it was just that I already had a NGinx server running.
I have some Hazel rules setup for example auto file downloaded statements.
HOUDAHSPOT FULL DISK ACCESS SOFTWARE
Sure it’s not as shiny as newer hyped software but it works and is functional. Like you said you can get all the data you put in back out easily no lock in. It works extremely well, it is powerful and no subscription, it’s not cheap but as a dev I know development isn’t cheap and the price is justified for its functionality. I’m now slowly migrating Evernote content to Devonthink. I was never comfortable and know better than storing private documents such as bank statements in Evernote (someone else’s computer aka cloud) but it was convenient and worked well. I used Evernote extensively for notes + going paperless. Not sure why I never seen it before as it’s been around a very long time. I found DevinThink at the end of last year and ended paying up for the full premium version for ocr when they had on a Christmas sale. It’s truly a fantastic piece of software. Devon also has an inbox you can use with Finder, so when you drop a file into the folder, it automatically moves to an Inbox folder in Devon for you to process and move to a final destination within the app. You can open them directly using apps like Word, and Devon doesn’t care. This makes it easy to search and find them with tools like Alfred or Quicksilver or Spotlight. They’re indexed and stored in a folder hierarchy that you can still access. It’s one of a handful of apps that are always open on my desktop.ĭocuments aren’t stuffed into some database, either. It has fuzzy search capabilities and automatic OCR that is lightning fast. I scan documents directly into it, tag them, and sometimes link them from multiple folders, which Devon will do without copying them (or I can also copy them if I need to). It’ll do encrypted databases, and it has mobile apps that work great. I put everything in it, and I sync it between devices using WebDAV via Seafile, which also works to get data offsite in case the house burns down. I’ve been working with digital paper apps for years, and DEVONthink absolutely crushes everything else. I do all document management with an app called DEVONthink.
