DEVONthink 2.0 public beta out in the wild

by Tom on December 20, 2008

The waiting is finally over. DEVONthink have released DEVONthink 2.0, the long-awatied successor to version 1.x. It’s still in beta, but release of the final version seems to be due sometime pretty early in 2009.

Version 2 introduces many features we’ve been eagerly awaiting:

  • Open multiple databases at the same time
  • Smart groups
  • Global inbox (great for GTD)
  • New “Sorter” for quickly adding and categorizing data
  • Tabbed interface
  • Support for more file formats
  • Quick Look support
  • Linking to documents in a DT database from the outside
  • Modernized user interface

There’s more, but those are the biggies, according to the current release notes.

My personal and business stuff is scattered over several applications at the moment: EagleFiler for archiving emails, NoteBook and DEVONthink 1.x for notes and web clippings and some old stuff I was too lazy to move is still stored in Mori. If this upgrade proves worthy, I might take the leap and start using DEVONthink Pro Office for everything.

DEVONthink comes in the flavors Personal, Professional and Pro Office (compare the features here). Owners of DEVONthink 1.x can upgrade to version 2.0 at a special upgrade page.
