DEVONthink got some significant updates today. First, DEVONthink To Go 3.0 is out now. They’ve made no mystery of the fact that they wanted to substantially improve their mobile app and they have. This new version is much closer to DEVONthink on the Mac. The mobile version now has support for multiple windows and the pointer on iPadOS, dark mode, and context menus. They’ve also added a number of new settings to personalize DEVONthink To Go. Other new features include:

OCR converts scans to searchable PDFs on the device.
Shortcuts actions let you automate everyday tasks and integrate DEVONthink To Go with the rest of the iOS ecosystem.
Documents can be opened and edited in other apps directly from the Share sheet.
Version 3.0 supports Mac-style document annotations and ratings, unifies inboxes, tags, and trash groups like on the Mac, and adds new global smart groups.

There’s both monthly and yearly subscription options, as well as a one-time purchase. If you have version 2, you will be able to choose a free upgrade subscription until the end of July, 2021, and receive a discount on the one-time purchase. I also dig the new icon.

They’ve also added CloudKit-based sync and released a new version of DEVONthink for Mac that also supports the new sync protocol. I’ve been using the betas and using the CloudKit sync. In my experience, it’s been noticeably faster and I’ve not had any data loss. Getting data (via sync) onto the mobile versions of DEVONthink faster and more reliably substantially increases the app’s overall utility. I’m so pleased that the DEVONthink team is putting so much effort into the iPhone and iPad.
