If I needed all the features - especially unique ones like OCR - I’d still be using it. But the quirks and unfixed bugs (specific ones which I reported and finally got fixed two years after I stopped using the app) made it unpleasant to continue using. I used Devonthink for many years, starting with DevonNote, then Devonthink, then Devonthink Pro. >to the price, I see no reason to choose eagleFiler over Devonthink.ĭevonThink does more but its UI is a comparative mess, and you have to live inside it with no ability for Spotlight to index files (although I believe Spotlight *does* works in the iOS app). >Generally, Devonthink is more potent than EagleFiler. I had been asking the same question for the last couple of days. Thanks for the input, discussion always helps!
SOFTWARE LIKE EAGLEFILER LICENSE
I basically own a license for every app mentioned (except TheBrain-tried it, but didn’t like it), so it’s less about cost and more about what works. Meaning I’m left with an out-of-date looking app that will *hopefully* be updated soon (at least DTTG 2 is coming along well). The problem is that DTPO’s “flagship” feature (the Magic Hat) has never really worked for me. I’m an attorney with both a litigation and transactional practice in a paperless office and I would go insane without DTPO. I use DEVONthink the most and I couldn’t really live without it.

SOFTWARE LIKE EAGLEFILER SOFTWARE
>with the software trying to make it work for you. We have been using Version 2 for ages without paying a penny. Developers of Devonthink is very generous for the license. They are updating the software every other year and ask the user to pay a hectic price for a new license. Foxtrot does great here.īut, Foxtrot has also a problem: the developers are suckers.

The proximity search I often use (>80% of my search) is useless in Devonthink. There is no point in indexing these files in Devonthink for me.
SOFTWARE LIKE EAGLEFILER PDF
I completely rely on Foxtrot for the searching PDF files. I find the Searchin in Devonthink less powerful than Foxtrot. The reason I want to eliminate Devonthink is because I am using Foxtrot for the same purpose. EagleFiler etcĪpart from regular note taking, the main advantage of Devonthink is for storing and searching PDF files.

I'm hoping that I'm either missing an existing feature in an app I've tried or that someone knows of something I haven't found it yet.Favored "bucket" app - DEVONthink v. I think I've tried every serious contender and none of them have all four (seemingly simple) requirements. iphone app converts edited entries to plain text.Įvernote : No interior linking. I like that it uses plain text for links instead of a hashed value. These were closest to what I was looking for but, as far as I can tell, suffer from the noted flaws: I like to cross reference items and thoughts internally and the relationships aren't always hierarchical. Hierarchical organization, AKA outlining. Minimally some form of markup, but ideally something I can drag and drop images into and do some formatting. Mobile accessibility: Either a complimentary iphone app to sync with, or DropBox or Google Docs syncing or equivalent so I can use other mobile note applications to edit notes remotely.
