In a recent post blogger and  Ryan Irelan describes how he uses DEVONthink Pro Office for working remotely:

Last Fall, with the impending arrival of our first child and initial plans to sell our house, I decided to simplify our life by reducing the amount of stuff we kept around. Part of this was my Great Paperless Office Initiative 2010 (affectionately referred to as “sigh” by my wife). […] My tools are: DEVONthink Pro Office because of its ability to OCR (Optical Character Recognition) scanned documents and the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1300 scanner. Together I can almost effortlessly scan, OCR, and organize my documents. The result is a paperless, searchable and smart filing system. (more)

Finally, three weeks after we have posted version 3.0.3 of DEVONagent Express to Apple for review the new release is finally available in the Mac App Store. You can download it through the App Store app (which sounds a bit like a hiccup, BTW).  And PhotoStickies has made it, too. That means that our first freeware application for the Mac ever released now also made the jump. Click here to get it.

Using Keyboard Maestro you can automate emptying DEVONthink’s trash including dismissing the confirmation dialog. For this create a new Keyboard Maestro macro with the following steps:

If you don’t need the full power of DEVONagent Pro or even just DEVONagent Express we have good news for you: We have submitted DEVONagent Lite to the Mac App Store today. It’s small, it’s convenient, and it’s free. (more)

After seven months of public beta testing we have released DEVONagent 3.0 today. And because it’s the best (re)search assistant we’ve ever made we now call it DEVONagent Pro :-) We made it compatible to OS X 10.7 Lion, of course, support 64 bit mode, and have updated or rewritten all plugins. If you’re a JSTOR fan, SEC website user, or lawyer researching on LexisNexis: DEVONagent Pro supports them all now, too. (more)

Today Apple released OS X 10.7 Lion to the App Store. And now you might wonder which of our apps are already Lion-compatible? Here’s the list or all apps that we have recently updated and tested for full compatibility with Apple’s brand new operating system: … (more)

For quite a while we have been talking about adding sync capabilities to DEVONthink that allow to sync databases between multiple Macs. I am proud to announce that today we have distributed the first alpha to our team of beta testers with another (and last) alpha following early August before we start the public beta test in later August.

If you are, like us, excited about the upcoming release of OS X 10.7 Lion then you will also like this news: We have just released version 2.2 of DEVONthink and DEVONnote which makes them fully compatible to Lion. Install this update and you don’t need fear the beast.

Very often documents are connected to actions, e.g. “contact these guys”, “pay this bill”, or “discuss this with the team”.
