Take care of your studies, we take care of the rest

Learning and studying is much more than just attending classes. You have to take notes, organize papers and handouts you get in class, keep track of suggested web links, and write term papers. But don't despair! All our products actively help you with the tedious tasks of collecting and organizing so that you can focus on what really matters: your studies.

  • Take notes

    At school, at your favorite coffee shop, or at home: taking notes is one of your most important tasks. DEVONthink's rich text editor offers all the tools you need, from lists to tables and hyperlinks. It even adds Wiki-style links to related documents automatically. DEVONthink comes with many prefabricated templates for note taking, e.g. for Cornell notes, journal entries, quotes, or references . And it talks to Bookends or EndNote, too.

  • Collect

    Quickly add digital documents you want to keep to the GTD©-like inbox of DEVONthink without interrupting your flow. Organize them later. Drag them to DEVONthink's icon in the Dock or use its services, the take note panel, the print-to-PDF service, or the Clip to DEVONthink web browser extension. The Sorter lets you even capture files when DEVONthink is not open.

  • Research

    When you do research on the web, do it right — with DEVONagent Pro. You choose your search engines and type the query, our app does the tedious rest. Get smart text summaries with all the hard facts but without all the noise. Capture interesting stuff directly in your DEVONthink inbox, always with a link to the original source.

  • Organize

    DEVONthink actively helps you organize your notes, documents, articles, literature, or links. Its unique AI technology suggests groups or tags for your data, and it learns with every new document you add to a group or assign a new tag. Multiple views, smart groups, and our innovative smart tagging approach give you the power and the freedom you need without sacrificing one or the other.

  • Review

    Review your notes and articles directly in DEVONthink Pro without opening additional apps or panels. Annotate PDF, e.g. magazine or journal articles, with all standard PDF annotation tools and other documents with the Annotation smart template. Add reminders for important items to iCal, OmniFocus, or Things so that you never forget about it or miss any deadline.

  • Write

    When all collecting and researching is done then it's time to write: term papers, project reports, the diploma thesis. Gather all your material in a project group (use the prefab project template); replicating leaves the items also in their original place. Use groups or tags to structure the pile. Then start to write. DEVONthink's fullscreen modes help you staying fully focused.
