DEVONnote overview

DEVONnote is an easy-to-use, intelligent note pad capable of storing and organising plain or rich texts and file aliases. Store and manage your bookmarks in DEVONnote too, browse the Web using the integrated browser based on Apple's WebKit, capture interesting notes immediately or organize webcams. Furthermore, DEVONnote helps you sort in new stuff and supports cross and Wiki-style links.

Collect all your notes, ideas, thoughts effortlessly in one place. Take new notes with a single keystroke, save bookmarks for inspiring webpages by dragging them to DEVONnote, or capture interesting paragraphs using the Services menu. DEVONnote keeps in the background and lets you continue with whatever exciting task you are just engaged.

Store your notes and bookmarks in the self-contained database. Clip data from other apps with just a keystroke, adding it to the GTD-like inbox for later filing, or take notes with the Take Note panel. Drag-and-drop and the Services menu integrate DEVONnote seamlessly with your workflow.

What’s new in version 2.11.2

Version 2.11.2:

This maintenance release addresses a sporadic crash when accessing the Preferences on macOS Mojave. We also fixed an issue where RTFD files were incorrectly reported as missing. The URL of clippings from the Brave and Vivaldi web browsers is now captured. The overall reliability has been the primary focus of this release.

Improved
  • The URL is now captured when clipping from the Vivaldi and Brave web browsers.
  • When importing browser bookmarks, the group will show the icon of the browser.
  • Improved caching speeds up resolving links.
  • Copying or dragging snippets from plain text documents doesn't include the reference URL anymore as this caused various issues in other apps.
  • Improved overall performance and reliability.
Fixed
  • Fixed an issue where certain Word documents couldn't be imported.
  • Fixed an issue where customized date formats in System Preferences weren't displayed in list views.
  • Fixed an issue where RTFD files were always reported as missing.
  • Fixed an issue where the remaining trial time wasn't updating correctly.
  • Fixed a crash or incomplete display of the window when accessing the Preferences on macOS Mojave.

This says its free now and EOL. Mine just quit working and asked for licensing info. What gives? You can't download it from their site, they don't speak of it. Now all the data in it is inaccessible until I dig into it and see if I can get it back out.

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.
