It’s no secret that we have been working for quite some time on a new sync technology (code name: “DEVONcloudy”, our little cloud). It replaces the Mac-to-Mac sync presently part of DEVONthink for Mac and will be the foundation of the upcoming DEVONthink To Go 2.0. (more)
Just a quick note that we have just released DEVONthink and DEVONnote 2.8.11. The update brings, among many more detail enhancements, a revised view/edit pane and better compatibility to RSS 1.0 feeds. Automatically opened panels such as the Activity or Log panels are no longer activated by default. This way they don’t unnecessarily interrupt your workflow. (more)
We promised to keep you updated on our progress with DEVONthink To Go 2.0 and our new sync technology. Two days ago we released beta 10 to our beta testers. The last new beta testers received their Test Flight invitations today. (more)

There are many times we need to move a file from one place to another. On Macs with larger screens, you can easily open and arrange windows to drag and drop between them. However, if you’re on a laptop or don’t have the luxury of using a second monitor, this is often not an easy task. Often we resort to using Spaces in Mission Control to give ourselves as much space per application as we can. This can make file moving even trickier. (more)
Today we’ve released version 2.8.10 of DEVONthink and DEVONnote. The update adds support for Airmail 2 and accepts videos, e.g. from the Photos application, via the sharing extension.
DEVONthink 2.8.10 also offers new contextual menu commands for HTML 5 videos, e.g. played in a web view. Conveniently copy links to the videos or download the video files to your Mac using the contextual menu. When verifying your databases all editions detect more issues than before and are able to repair them. Read more in our news release. (more)
On February 26th we announced that we’ll soon start beta testing DEVONthink To Go 2.0 with a limited number of testers. Today we added the first batch of testers to Test Flight. Over the course of the next weeks we’ll add batch by batch. (more)
