Someone else described replacing DEVONthink with a different, non-native ( Electron-based) app I have tried that app, and I think it is the definition of bloated (over 300MB) compared to DEVONthink (60MB for version 2 that I use). I love good native Mac apps, which is what DEVONthink is. “Is the app slow/bloated?” DEVONthink takes longer to launch whenever it periodically makes a backup of its database as I instructed it to do, but once launched it is a fast native Mac app.Its “See also” suggestions of semantically similar files is also fantastic and a big reason to use it. “How is the search?” It’s really great: it is the best way to quickly see the search results inside many kinds of files.“How does it compare to Evernote?” I don’t have much experience with Evernote, but an advantage of DEVONthink is that you can store all your files in the good old Mac file system as mentioned above.This is how all apps were installed on Macs before the App Store, and it is still possible to install apps this way. “If I want to keep using the old version, how would that work…?” It has always been possible to download a disk image of DEVONthink from the DEVONtechnologies website and use it to reinstall on your Mac if necessary.I am still using version 2, so I have never paid for an upgrade. ![]()
