But I’m puzzled as to how you lost content in experimenting with links in DEVONthink.Ĭlickable links can be inserted in rich text notes in DEVONthink in a variety of ways, and the ‘link’ commands are documented in Help and in the user documentation PDF. I normally try to add a bit of detail and guidance. I apologize for only giving a direct answer to your question. Hope this helps you put your own thoughts into perspective on the respective programs. I a delighted to have both programs, but they both leave me feeling the there should now be something better coming along. I currently use both, but find each of them limited in the way one organises the information to create intellectual projects, such as linking items, which I believe will become critical in the future. The particular advantage of Chronos Notes is that it is easier to causally flip through, reminding one more easily of older information that has become forgotten, but could create serendipitous thoughts. With this and the advances in hardware it is easy to drown in the information storage. Both Devonthink and Notes are good in this respect.

Recent improvements in software means that it is incredibly easy to accumulate information from a vast array of resources. In the past a database has generally be a large collection of information dumped in a central facility. It also raises a question of future information usage. I have commented on integration with the iPad because with the Air and the iPad it is likely that people will carry their information around with them more readily in the future, so programs that sync well between all products are more highly desirable. Notes does organise things better on the iPad than Devonthink. I think I prefer the Notes approach because I never really know what I what until I want it.

On the plus side for Notes it does bring everything across to the iPad, whilst with Devonthink you have the facility to chose what you Sync.

Path Finder may be an easier option if it merely an organiser (which would be even better if it handled tags.)ĭevonthink’s iPad app is better presented than Chronos Notes, which still uses the iPhone app despite the upgrade having been promised on a number of occasions. I suspect that if my version of Notes carried as many files as Devonthink I would see a serious deterioration in performance.ĭevonthink does have far more facilities - only you can decide whether you need that level of sophistication.

Devonthink is very flexible with tags, but the handling is nothing like as good.ĭevonthink resembles an old fashioned database, with modern search facilities whereas Notes really started as a sophisticated Note taker, so they are fundamentally different. I like Chronos Notes because it now handles tags very well. I have managed annotating in the past, but even that is not as intuitive as it should be.ĭevonthink is very powerful at finding items within the databases, but curiously rather poor at organising the information. Having spent 30 minutes inputting the data, I am not happy. I have just tried to link 2 items, and lost all the contents of one item totally. If Devonthink does link items it is not very obvious.
