  1. 5/5Indispensable Tool

    I have been using Devonthink for a few years since my retirement. I have found it to be an absolutely indispensable tool in my workflow as a regional writer. I use it as the “boneyard” for a digital Zettlekasten, the later implemented in Obsidian. Devonthink and Obsidian work well together; for example, I can link Obsidian notes directly to Devonthink database locations. I recommend Devonthink to anyone who wants to organize knowledge.

  2. 5/5Fantastic software

    I use this app alongside the Mac OS version, so I can’t comment on how this functions on its own, but in tandem with Devonthink, it is a fantastic combination. It holds everything that I'd like it to hold. It's super easy to get to the things I want. It suggests the things that make sense to what I'm trying to do. But it does take practice. I think too often people are looking to an app to do everything for them, suggest everything for them, make it simply work without thought. You do have to think, but in so doing, I find myself well rewarded by this wonderful piece of software. Further, anytime I've had troubles, I've been able to reach out to the company, and they've been super responsive.

  3. 2/5Don't delete v3!

    I used v3 many times a day and was excited for this upgrade, but I have to warn people away from this version. It is not ready for public use. It hangs and then crashes every few pages when reading PDFs (many different files). Downloading files from a sync share takes multiple retries, and even when successful takes far longer than the same file on v3. Search rankings seem broken--keywords in document titles ranked dozens of rows less "relevant" than single references within content, if I could find them at all. This version seems like it was rushed out prematurely and is a big step backwards in the stability of core functionality. I'm going to revert to v3 (which I unwisely deleted) for now and cross my fingers that future updates make this version usable for me. Two stars because it sort of works in a pinch but is very frustrating for more than brief usage.

  4. 5/5It. Just. Works.

    This application is my number one application of everything that I use on my iPhone and Mac. It has been dead reliable for years. The developers have upgraded it , improved it, kept it stable and stuck with it for all this time and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate that.

  5. 2/5It’s ok

    The UI is clunky, the sync speed is so-so, the settings are non-intuitive: but it more or less does what it says it will do. Update - no, it doesn’t do what it says it will. I was able to sync and download items the first couple days, but for the past week every attempt to download and read an item on my phone has given a spinner for 30 seconds and then an app crash. Yes I’ve verified and repaired, like a caveman (why are users expected to look after database maintenance in 2026?) And things still spin and crash. Sometimes if I’m lucky I’ll see the clickable “download 433 bytes” or whatever but that link does nothing. I’ve paid for maybe 3 years worth of DtTG and I think I’ve successfully read maybe three items on my phone in that period.

Versions

App Store

  • 4.0
  • 4.0.1

    This maintenance release fixes a crash related to registering the app with a Mac license and makes license handling in general more robust. It also fixes a few other minor issues related to logging into customer accounts, viewing PDFs, the iPad menu bar, and updating the app badge.

  • 4.0.2

    This maintenance release fixes an issue where registering the app with a Mac license without an organization name caused the license not to be remembered correctly. It also labels the button for registering a license more clearly. Finally, the update fixes a sync issue with RTFD documents and a crash related to clipping.

  • 4.0.3

    This maintenance update adds a setting for automatically downloading, e.g., images linked from a Markdown document, and lets you create smart groups directly from the database list. It also fixes issues related to signing into the customer account on some devices and makes the handling of legacy subscriptions and one-time purchases more reliable.

  • 4.0.4

    This maintenance update adds a new default template for annotations and improves handling of placeholders, WikiLinks, and transclusions. Converting email to PDF uses proper styling. The update also fixes issues related to Spotlight, annotations, versioned documents, and downloading documents through sync. Adding tags by using a locally installed AI works properly now, and disabling Spotlight indexing properly clears the Spotlight index.

  • 4.0.5

    This maintenance update introduces support for Nano Banana Pro (Preview) and DeepSeek 3.2, and updates support for, e.g., Gemini, Claude Opus, Mistral, and many more providers and models, both via OpenRouter and local. The Settings popover dynamically adjusts to the actual screen size, and tag suggestions draw from all databases. Opening external item links works again, global smart groups are sorted correctly, and we've fixed EPUB dark mode. The sync settings prevent editing Bonjour locations while they are offline.

  • 4.0.6

    This maintenance update improves the search syntax, custom metadata handling, and the overall reliability. It also fixes issues with favorites, PDFs, the Summary popover, smart groups, syncing, and licensing, while making the app generally more stable and less prone to freezes.

  • 4.1

    DEVONthink To Go now supports RSS feeds including automatic updating in the background. Home screen widgets give you quick access to inbox counts, unread RSS items, top reading list entries, your most-used favorites, and recently viewed documents. A brand-new Markdown renderer replaces MultiMarkdown 6 and delivers more reliable previews and broader syntax support. DEVONthink To Go also adds support for BibTeX documents, and you can now merge multiple images into a single PDF document. Other improvements include the option to open certain documents directly in editing mode, an enhanced group selector, and new actions for geolocations in the "Info" popover. * We're naming this release after the mathematician Joseph-Louis Lagrange (1736–1813) who made significant contributions to the fields of analysis, number theory, and both classical and celestial mechanics. Lagrange's work has had a profound impact on our understanding of celestial mechanics and has practical applications in space exploration.

  • 4.1.1

    This maintenance release improves database verification and repair. Creating new documents without giving them a title now uses a unified generic name. The update also addresses several issues, including broken sharing to third-party apps and a vanishing sidebar button.

  • 4.1.2

    This maintenance release adds emergency notification support so we can reach you quickly if a critical fix is held up for some reason. It also fixes a range of issues, including ones related to item counting, wrong RSS article dates, and non-functioning chat exclusion controls.

  • 4.1.3

    This maintenance release gives the integrated help pages a visual overhaul and resolves a number of issues, including a crash in the chat, UI delays, and deadlocks. It also fixes unformatted dates in feed articles and syncing bundle documents.

  • 4.2

    This release introduces Zen mode for distraction-free reading and editing, a redesigned icon view, and an updated OCR engine with improved accuracy and language support. Create new images or edit existing pictures with the new AI image creation popover, and add notes or scan documents right from the Control Center. Quickly navigate your databases with your favorites right on the databases list. Color groups and tags — all synchronized with the Mac — and order documents manually if needed. The chat can highlight text passages and ignores documents from databases you exclude. NOTE: We're naming this release after the Chandra X-ray Observatory, NASA's flagship X-ray telescope launched in 1999 and itself named after the astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar (1910–1995). Chandrasekhar determined the mass limit above which a white dwarf star cannot support itself against gravitational collapse, laying the groundwork for our understanding of neutron stars and black holes. His work reminds us that perseverance can reveal truths about the universe even long before anyone has the means to observe them.

  • 4.2.1 · 30 Jul 2026

    This maintenance release focuses on stability and performance. Item counting is faster and sync downloads data more quickly by matching the Mac's concurrent connection count. We have also fixed a range of crashes and smaller issues.
