In den letzten Tagen habe ich außerdem etliche Migrationsskripte entwickelt, die eine #DEVONthink -Datenbank nach #TagSpaces migrieren, inkl. Übernahme der Schlagworte, Labels und Custom Metadata. Ein erster Test mit meiner Notizen-Datenbank war erfolgreich. Ich werde mich jetzt von Datenbank zu […]

DEVONthink and DEVONthink To Go do not automatically sync by default because we believe that you should decide for yourself whether and what you want to sync. Here are things to consider when setting up the sync. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #sync www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026031...

DEVONthink 4.2.2, lets you create powerful AI-driven searches and add tags more reliably via scripting. If you are using JXA, you can now use JS files. In AI, Gemini and Nano Banana get updates, and Claude 3 Haiku retires. #devonthink #update #ai #gemini #nanobanana #javascript #jxa buff.ly/mpbJg6M

If you want to take notes about a document in your DEVONthink database, there is a feature for exactly that: the annotation. This is a specialized note document attached to another document. Here is how to create and use them. #devonthink #ai #notaking #research buff.ly/rIHm2vk

There are four different sidebars in a DEVONthink window: Navigate, Reading List, Import, and Extras. The latter is a useful place to get some additional information from us. #devonthink #blog #tips #scripts #templates #smartrules www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026022...

Es sieht so aus als ob #Joplin meine Alternative zu #Apple #Notes wird. Funktioniert bisher einwandfrei. Sync über #WebDav.
Wenn jemand #Devonthink hat ist der Import total einfach.
Import in DevonThink. Per Drag 'n Drop in ein Verzeichnis und von dort mit Joplin (html) importieren.

The recent #Devonthink release (4.2.1) allows to display #PDF files with light background, when running in dark mode with a hidden preference (#macOS26 required) —
$ defaults write com.devon-technologies.think DisablePDFDarkMode -bool TRUE

DEVONthink 4.2.1 is available. It lets you mirror reminders to Apple Reminders and run batch processing via AppleScript. It also comes with updated support for Claude Sonnet and Opus 4.6 as well as for the latest zAI and Qwen models. #devonthink #update #ai #reminders #productivity buff.ly/QhcBe7k

The popular AI app Ollama, typically used to run AI models locally on your Mac, now offers cloud models. This gives you access to many models, even if your hardware is limited. And you can also use them in DEVONthink and DEVONthink To Go. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #ai #ollama buff.ly/YDWwwXh

Documents in DEVONthink are often linked or related to each other in some way, forming a network of information. To visualize these connections, DEVONthink 4 offers a Graph view. Here is a brief introduction. #devonthink #wikilinks #workflow #zettelkasten www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026021...

## 引 DEVONthink 的 AI 检索是基于文本向量化与统计相似度的本地语义索引，不依赖互联网。4.0 后，引入了对第三方大型语言模型（如 ChatGPT API等）的支持，可以使用自然语言描述需求，AI 会将其转换为 DEVONthink 专用的搜索语法并执行。 它的边界也很清晰。底层仍然围绕已有文本做匹配，跨语言与同义改写能力有限。比如搜 「Disease Spreading」，只写了 「Transmission」 的文章，很可能被漏掉。 RAG（Retrieval-Augmented Generation）走的是另一条路线。先用向量检索做粗筛，再让模型基于语义做重排与生成。查询词和原文表述可以完全不同，只要意思相关，就能被找到。 DEVONthink 的数据库结构与 Obsidian 这类笔记工具差异很大，通用 RAG 工具往往无法直接索引。Elephas 对 DEVONthink 做了专门适配，但价格非常高。其 Setapp 版本不完整，目前还不支持 DEVONthink。 ## DEVONthink_agent DEVONthink Agent 是我最近尝试做的命令行工具，用自然语言搜索和分析数据库里的内容。 它的核心思路是混合检索。关键词精确匹配为基础，RAG 负责跨语言与语义召回，DEVONthink 的 See Also 负责发现隐含关联。三路结果合并排序，被多种路径同时命中的文档会更靠前。这样做的价值在于减少单一检索范式的盲区。 这个工具是完全只读的。代码层面没有任何写入、编辑或删除能力，安全边界清晰。 项目链接：https://github.com/DayuGuo/DEVONthink_agent 另外，我在测试 Research Expansion Mode。Agent 自动执行一个三阶段工作流，最后输出一份结构化研究报告。 * Phase 1 翻阅你的资料库； * Phase 2 去网上找新东西； * Phase 3 生成报告。普通对话是「你问它答」。 Research Expansion 是「你给主题，它独立做一轮完整的文献调研+网络调研，告诉你：你有什么、缺什么、该补什么」。 > **请注意！** > > **这是个实验性的插件，请谨慎使用，不要在工作环境尝试。** ## 结 我日常工作使用英文，但它其实不是我的母语，所以我的数据库中有很多中文资料。RAG 确实能帮我在多语言环境下更容易找到目标文件。但说实话，我更享受制作这个插件的过程，日常使用频率并不高，DEVONthink 本身其实已经足够我的基础需求。 如果有建议可以写在 GitHub 或本文评论区，谢谢！

Do you use the Capture app from Sir Studio? With Capture, you can quickly make notes when a thought crosses your mind and then organize them. Now the developer has also added an export option for DEVONthink. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #notetaking www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026020...

DEVONthink 4 supports automatic versioning, quietly saving snapshots of your documents as you work. But sometimes you may want more control. That's where DEVONthink 4.2 Cassini's named versions come in. Here's how to use them. #devonthink #versioning #backups #notetaking buff.ly/xlip0jE

The second feature release for DEVONthink 4 introduces a refreshed look on macOS Tahoe, adds powerful new capabilities to the chat assistant, and updates supported generative AI models to the latest available versions. #devonthink #update #macostahoe #liquidglass #ai buff.ly/VMrRoYe

Joe Kissell from @takecontrolbooks.com has updated the free ebook Take Control of DEVONthink 4. It now covers DEVONthink 4.1.1 Europa and includes a revised chapter on DEVONthink To Go 4 Kepler. Download it FOR FREE from our website or Take Control Books. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #ebook

We've just release DEVONthink To Go 4.0.4. The update adds a new template for annotations and improves handling of placeholders, WikiLinks, and transclusions. Converting email to PDF uses proper styling. Of course, the update also fixes various issues. #devonthinktogo #devonthink #ai #markdown #pdf

Whether you made errors while writing, have text you need to update, or want to do some text cleanup, DEVONthink can help modify text in a document. It's search-and-replace feature allows you to carefully replace text. #devonthink #markdown #notetaking www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2026012...

@joekissell As author of both “Backing up Your #Mac" and “Take Control of #DEVONthink 4,” do you have any suggestions for backing up DEVONthink databases in a consistent state? Or is Time Machine enough?

DEVONthink does have an Export/Daily Backup Archives script in its scripts menu. Should I […]

Bookmarks stored in a DEVONthink database often have just a generic bookmark icon which makes it more difficult to visually identify the site they're from. However, with a little automation, you can use the site's favicon. Here is how. #devonthink #automation buff.ly/5lLXvKh

Access to external AI is an optional part of DEVONthink. But some people have wondered, “What would I actually use it for?” On the Mac Power Users forum, a user posted her real-world use case, which is an excellent example for AI use. #devonthink #ai #workflow buff.ly/QgTycCZ
