Integrations

There are many wonderful apps for the Mac — and DEVONthink works seamlessly with them. Use your collected knowledge everywhere and combine the best features of each application to the perfect workflow for you.

Edit Documents Externally

Organize your knowledge in DEVONthink, edit it anywhere you like. Use the built-in editor for your text documents or open your documents directly in your preferred application. With just a single click and completely without exporting.

Use Item Links

Use item links in all apps that support URLs. Link calendar events in Apple Calendar to corresponding documents, add references to tasks in OmniFocus or Things, or insert direct references to your sources in your word processor. With one click you have your linked information at hand.

Friends with Benefits

DEVONthink can be easily integrated with other apps via items links or AppleScript. Here are some examples for how you can use DEVONthink together with your other daily drivers.
