DEVONthink4.4.1

Collect texts, PDFs, websites, images, emails, spreadsheets, and other documents in DEVONthink, then organize and annotate them inside searchable databases. These databases remain stored locally on your Mac and can be structured into groups, tags, smart groups, and curated collections that are easy to back up. Cross-references connect related documents into a personal wiki, while links from calendars or task lists and built-in reminders bring the right material forward at the right time.

You can write Markdown, plain-text, and rich-text notes, add annotations to existing documents, and edit supported formats directly or pass them to another application. OCR makes scanned documents searchable, and custom metadata fields, configurable stamps, and Bates numbering support formal records work. DEVONthink can archive email independently of your email application, connect with news outlets and blogs, and retain multiple document versions so you can track changes and restore an earlier state.

The software suits information-heavy work in schools, editorial offices, law firms, medical practices, and other professional settings, either individually or across Macs, iPads, and iPhones in a team. Automation actions and triggers let recurring workflows run with less manual handling, while generative AI models and the built-in AI chat assistant help shape newer research and knowledge workflows.

DEVONthink 4.4 belongs to the fourth generation, which adds a refined interface, a web interface, automatic versioning, and revision-proof databases for records such as financial documents. It runs on macOS with Apple Silicon (arm64) and is distributed as freeware.
