There is nothing like the Devon products. In the years they've been out, nothing's even approached them. They are constantly under active development by a terrific team of people. I can't explain it well .... the range of features, the capabilities of the apps themselves ... but you can try them and see for yourself!

This is absolutely the best note taking application. I use it to gather all sorts useful info mostly alternative medicine, herbal stuff, etc... I used to use iNotepad, which is fine but extremely slow with a beachball running every time I start it and frequently in between. Couldn't stand it anymore. Import to DevonNote was smooth. The only small problem, it did not import pictures. But that's ok. I found a discount coupon to purchase it. It is upgradeable to the next level, DevonThing. Highly recommend.

Since I started using Evernote (and some of the excellent 3rd-party extensions like the one for VS Code) I have little to no use for DEVONThink and DEVONnote. Sad, because I love these apps, but they are no competitor for a multiplatform application that I can have in my phone, within my web browser and that keep getting better with every new release.

But we're talking text and weblocs or webarchives here, right? No images. Bummer.

Does anyone know of a note-taking/organizing program that allows manual ordering of notes within a group or folder? Most programs offer the options of sorting by creation date, by edit date, or by title (alphabetically), but don't allow true ordering capability. A simple example - I have a group of notes titled WEEKLY, and there are 7 notes in that group - Sunday, Monday, etc. What note program actually allows you to ORGANIZE your notes? But I cannot arrange them in order - I'm locked into sorting options that don't apply.

I like the features of devonthink and but the display of text is a deal breaker for me. With the vast array of prefs it's maddening that there is no option for default margin control in notes. Text is always jammed up against the top and sides of the text area. It looks sloppy and difficult to read and is a scar on an otherwise refined interface. Fix this and I'll buy it.

This is a pretty good product, but take a look at SOHO Notes as well, which has an astounding range of functionality.

DevonNote 1.7 generally works well (new features are nice), but seems to have something of a bug -- freezes after folders/files are deleted, and deletes only show up after quit-and-reopen.

This is an excellent product. I originally used Sticky Brain, but the recent update left me looking for a better application. I've found DEVONnote to be a perfect replacement. The transition, though not automatic, was fairly simple for my small archive. It's flexible trial period gave me more then enough time to realize it was worth the purchase price. I find myself using it a few times a day. It's folder structure makes it simple to categorize my notes, while it's quick search makes it easy enough for me to find things when I don't have time to sort. There are a ton of features and the with this recent update, the developers seem committed to making this product even better.

It's too bad this came out after DevonThink, which I bought, because DevonThink has many features I don't use at all. I mainly use it to organize text snippets for my writing, nothing fancy, and that's just exactly what DevonNote does. I might buy it just to salute the tailored fit. That and the VASTLY superior icon. Yes, I am that picky.

I mostly use the regular DevonThink application. DevonNote is a "lightweight" version of DT. Like DT it is a well written application that is suitable for many users who need a simpler scrapbook manager type program. I do feel bad for all the developers of the low-end scrapbook management/notepad type programs because the King (jr) has just moved into their turf.

No Unicode Support!!! Can't search Chinese text.
