Tip of the day: When people come to #DEVONthink from other applications with simpler interfaces, the experience can feel a bit daunting. Just like a Boeing 777 has more controls than a Piper Cub — and a lot more power — more complexity in the interface is required to handle all that power. Here are some ways to set up #DEVONthink with a more minimal UI. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2021031-simplify-devonthink

DEVONthink To Go 3.7.3 is available. It lets you merge groups and tags, share groups via the Share sheet and search for aliases. A new command moves all instances of an item to the trash, and tags in the Info popover have a context menu, e.g., to reveal them. #devonthink #devonthinktogo #pkm #update #pressrelease https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230719-devonthinktogo-373-update

Tip of the day: When it comes to aesthetics, what looks good to one may not look good to another. This is certainly the case when creating #Markdown documents. If you have a preferred look, you can specify a default stylesheet that will apply to the rendered view of all your #Markdown documents in #DEVONthink. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20211102-markdown-stylesheet

If you are using Instapaper for gathering resources in an online archive, there isn't a built-in RSS feed available.

Tip of the day: For many people, keyboard shortcuts — also known as hotkeys and not to be confused with the forthcoming app Shortcuts — provide a quicker way to accomplish tasks in an application. Here’s how you can assign, and sometimes change, shortcuts on your own. #devonthink #macos #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20210629-keyboard-shortcuts-in-macos

Tip of the day: Sometimes we use several names for the same thing, like nicknames, acronyms and so on. In #DEVONthink you can use such aliases for documents and other objects, for example tags. Here we show you how that works and what you can do with them. #paperless #pkm #productivity #tagging #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230425-aliases

Tip of the day: Sometimes you need to take some notes on a document. For this purpose #DEVONthink offers annotations. Annotations are separate text documents that are attached to a document and are therefore suitable for making notes about it. Here’s how you easily create and use annotations in #DEVONthinkToGo. #notetaking #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220816-annotations-devonthinktogo

Tip of the day: As the old saying goes, “All work and no play…”, well you know the rest. Sometimes you just need a little break and playing a quick game is often a good choice. Something not too involved or deep, but one you can finish during a short relaxation break. Here’s a good option to try… #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20200721-mahjong

Tip of the day: Many times we need to schedule a reminder about something we need to revisit. This may be something you need to defer until a later date or perhaps some documents you need to be done and sent out next Friday. #DEVONthink provides two simple ways to set such a reminder. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20200922-reminders

Really wish this @devontechnologies DEVONthink screen had an option to use the iOS native document scanner to add a PDF directly to a group.

Tip of the day: For many people, tags are a useful way of segregating or creating contextual relationships between items. Some prefer a small set of broad tags, while others create deep, specific tag lists. But sometimes tags can seem to appear out of nowhere. These could come in, e.g., from the outside world through Finder tags. (…) #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20210504-avoid-overtagging-in-devonthink

@devontechnologies Great to see DEVONthink on Mastodon.

DEVONthink is a good place for your literature and all its bibliographic metadata. One source for such metadata is @crossref. Here is how you can import metadata from there with a single click. #devonthink #pkm #academics #research #workflow #automation https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230711-metadata-crossref?utm_content=buffer43ad2&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Tip of the day: As you work with a #DEVONthink database, filling it with all manner of files and groups, you may wonder, “How many #PDFs do I have in this database?”, “How large is this database getting?”, or “Where is this database located?”. You can find this information — and some per-database controls — in the database properties popover. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20211012-devonthink-database-properties

Tip of the day: In a another post on smart rules, we discussed how to organize #DEVONthink documents in an automated fashion. In this post we briefly touched on the File action, but some people have wondered why not just use the Move action. Here’s the difference between the two. #automation #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220802-filing-and-moving

Tip of the day: In #DEVONthink, placeholders are specialized strings that resolve specific values on demand. They can be used to dynamically add data to documents generated via templates or file items in locations based on dates. Here are some ways placeholders are used. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/how-to-use-placeholders
