If the kind of thing I’ve outlined is something of value to you, I suggest downloading the trial and seeing what you can get from it.
From the DT item create the OF task “Write up minutes of meeting”Īnd you’ll end up with the notes associated with the OF task ready for when you want to complete the action.Īll that said, there are many ways to achieve similar results without DT, which is not cheap and requires time and effort to get the best from it. Add the notes to DT (if hand-written via a scanner or your phone camera). Take notes at a meeting (in DT or any other note taking app or even hand-written). For example, you can create an OF task directly from a DT item so you could: It can be a powerful adjunct to Omnifocus (or other task management apps). So DT is not a task management system, like Omnifocus. Examples: lawyers use it to collect all the information for cases academics collect and organise their research data project managers (like me) use it to collect and organise the information related to the project. Commonly, it’s used to store all the documents/files relating to projects or other work. It maintains a database of your documents and other files and has very powerful searching and organisation features. (see Yojimbo, EagleFiler, and the like), as well as online (see Google. I’ve actually been intending to write about DEVONthink since before I published my original thoughts on personal information management (in 2008. It is just a one-time purchase (25 USD).DEVONthink is essentially a document management system. Strict vs fuzzy search (fuzzy search returns near-misspellings, word variants, etc). Many password managers use a subscription model, but Web Confidential does not. It is not only handy for organising passwords, but for organising all kinds of sensitive information, like PIN codes, software keys etc. Since EagleFiler stores its library in Finder format, you can use it in concert with the. It is a simple app, easy to use, and powerful and 64-bit, of course. Focus on your work and let DEVONthink remember all the details. It adds new Apple technologies like Touch ID, Touch Bar and Popovers. It has also been rewritten from the ground up and I also added a little support for AppleScript. The other project is my password manager Web Confidential. I’d like to share with the list the fact that the other project I am working on is now almost finished and that URL Manager Pro will now soon have my full attention. Just an update Alco Blom posted at Yahoo Groups about Web Confidential, one of the earliest password managers for the Mac. I’ll try to keep the list informed about the progress I am making. The applications are rewritten from the ground up, which means they will be more stable, using new technologies and it will be easier now in the future to add new features from upcoming macOS releases. Probably, Web Confidential will be released next month. Some code is shared between the two, so some work for URL Manager Pro is now already done. It shows up as an alternative to Eaglefiler that program is quite.
As you become more experienced with DEVONthink and its easy, intuitive interface you will quickly find more exciting ways of using your data. I started with Web Confidential with the rewrite (64-bit), because that is a smaller program and easier to start with. DEVONthink is designed to manage and keep in order all those disparate pieces of information so important to your work or studies. On DevonThink forums I’ve not found anyone asking about moving out of EagleFiler. And I’ve noticed on EagleFiler forum plenty of people asking about moving out of DevonThink, over to EagleFiler. quote Okay, I’m listening carefully to whatever you have to say about this. I think and hope it will be ready just in time, that is to say around October, just after the next major release of macOS.Īt the moment, I am programming the update of Web Confidential (the password manager) and that update is expected to be ready next month, after which I will fully concentrate on URL Manager Pro. I was using DevonThink for many years before I ditched it. I can confirm that there will be a 64-bit version of URL Manager Pro.
I have had no luck finding something that matches what URLMP does so well, so it is with much delight that I see Alco had posted last month in the Yahoo group that he is indeed working on it! As a longtime user of URL Manager Pro, I was looking for alternatives as Alco Blom conspicuously silent about whether or not their would be a 64-bit version.
