Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — DEVONtechnologies and ten like-minded makers of genuine Mac software have teamed up for their traditional summer celebration of hand-crafted software for writers, designers, and thinkers. Apps created by real people, not faceless corporations, and designed to work together. A basket of carefully selected applications for writers, researchers, and thinkers.

SummerFest assembles many best-of-breed tools for writing, creating, and researching on the Mac. These innovative applications use the latest research and engineering to address the most challenging facets of knowledge work. Each of them is the work of a small design team or a passionate designer, bringing devoted craftsmanship to a field too often dominated by corporate blandness.

You don’t discover inspired design in focus groups. Artisanal software is filled with ideas, ambition, and a passion to make things right. Using all these tools together lets our team build better software while engaging the rest of the research community.

Mark Bernstein, developer of Tinderbox

Our customers are no casual users. They work with our app every day. They collect things they receive or find online, organize them in DEVONthink, and give them a structure. Then they switch to other apps to create. Some write in Storyspace; some others move to Tinderbox to make sense of their thoughts. And Bookends provides them with references and quotes.

Eric Böhnisch-Volkmann, President of DEVONtechnologies
