Later this month, I will attend Cohort 10 of Action-Powered Productivity. The course is tool-agnostic. The attendees and alumni use #PKM tools like #Tana, #Obsidian, and #Logseq, and no one has only a single tool in their toolbox (so you'll see #DEVONthink, #Todoist, #Drafts, and many others). I have attended cohorts in the past, including the very first one, back when everyone was using #Roam, and I always get a lot out of it.

It would be great to see you there!

Tip of the day: #Markdown is a plain text file format that has become more popular in some circles outside web work. #Markdown allows you to write and add formatting with simple, plain text characters. However, the appearance may be a bit plain for some tastes. Here’s how you can change it. #devonthink #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20201020-markdown-styling-in-devonthink

Tip of the day: We not only take the development of our applications seriously, we are strongly committed to their support as well.

Tip of the day: A popular application for making notes is Apple Notes. But maybe you would like to transfer your notes to #DEVONthink, individual notes or all? While there isn’t a way to sync your notes with #DEVONthink, here are a few options for copying your notes into our application. #notetaking #pkm #productivity #thirdparties #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230509-switch-from-apple-notes

Tip of the day: Whether due to a physical infirmity or just a product of getting older, viewing things on screen can become more difficult. Changing the interface isn’t something that’s simply done and everyone has their own level of correction needed. Here are a few ways to make things a bit easier on your eyes. #accessibility #devonthink #devonthinktogo #ios #macos #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230411-reduced-vision

Tip of the day: Users of the Pro or Server edition of #DEVONthink can archive email into their databases. But per database, only one copy of any message. If an email exists in multiple copies in your email account, this can lead to complications. Here is why and how you easily get around it. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday #workflow https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230530-import-email-copies

Tip of the day: Many people use compatible cloud services for syncing #DEVONthink and #DEVONthinkToGo. These can be useful in situations where devices need to be updated more frequently, or Bonjour connections are disallowed. However, just as any website can be unavailable, for a variety of reasons, these servers can experience downtime as well.

Tip of the day: When people come to #DEVONthink from other applications with simpler interfaces, the experience can feel a bit daunting. Just like a Boeing 777 has more controls than a Piper Cub — and a lot more power — more complexity in the interface is required to handle all that power. Here are some ways to set up #DEVONthink with a more minimal UI. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/2021031-simplify-devonthink

Joe Kissel from Take Control Books revised the ebook Take Control of Your Paperless Office to reflect today’s hardware and software landscape. This includes, e.g., current scanner models and, of course, our applications. #paperless #workflow #pkm #ebook #mac #devonthink #devonthinktogo https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230831-take-control-paperless-office?utm_content=buffere432d&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Tip of the day: #DEVONthink is a very full featured and capable application, and as such requires good documentation. Given the necessary amount of information in the help, it may seem difficult to find answers in it. Here’s how the help was written to make it easier to navigate. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20201201-devonthink-help

Tip of the day: One of the topics we routinely preach about is the need to be diligent in backups. We believe, “If your data is important to you, it should be backed up.” While #DEVONthink doesn’t do file backups on its own, it does have an option for doing periodic full backups of a database. Here’s how to create a database archive to use as a secondary backup. #backups #pkm #productivity #safety #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20210914-devonthink-database-archive

When working in DEVONthink, you almost certainly end up with several windows open at once, and even on larger screens you can easily lose track of them. Here are some tricks on how to find lost ones. #mac #devonthink #productivity https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20230829-multiple-windows?utm_content=buffer9740b&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Tip of the day: Building a database is similar to setting up an office or furnishing a room. One important, though not glamorous, item is the trash: a place to put unwanted items. #DEVONthink and #DEVONthinkToGo databases also have per-database trashes for the same purpose. Here’s how to access and use them. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220517-understanding-devonthinks-trash

Tip of the day: One of the methods of organizing data is tagging. Supported by #DEVONthink as well as in some other applications, including the Finder, tags can provide contextual relationships between items, either broadly or narrowly defined. Here is a simple way to think about tags. #productivity #tagging #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20210831-understanding-tagging

Tip of the day: When it comes to syncing in #DEVONthink and #DEVONthinkToGo, some people wonder or get confused about how to “get my databases on both devices”. Here are some tips and things to understand about syncing. #pkm #productivity #sync #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20220628-devonthink-sync

Tip of the day: Plain text files are at the very core of many things in the computing world. #Markdown and HTML, system logs, delimited files for tabular data… the list goes on an on. #DEVONthink supports many plain text file types, but there may be types #DEVONthink doesn’t recognize. Here’s how to add new plain text extensions that can then be viewed and edited in #DEVONthink. #pkm #productivity #tipoftheday https://www.devontechnologies.com/blog/20211207-plain-text-extensions-devonthink
