Evernote’s Webclipper is quite powerfull too. And Evernote can keep the last four versions of your notes in their cloud (if you pay). Lots of choices and 08 looks like it may offer more. Having dabbled a bit in each, i'd recommend either yojimbo or devonthink pro. Together in its prior incarnation as keepittogether (kit) was pretty uninspiring. I had enough odd bugs encountered then that I'm unwilling to dabble with together.Įaglefiler doesn'y really strike me as a good choice since it seems more like it's primarily an archiving tool rather than a way to accumulate information and view that information within a single application.
Voodoo Pad can be really really handy, or a huge timesink. I used it for a while and while i liked dumping stuff into it to make notes and keep ideas around, it wasn't really good to accumulate random stuff that wasn't text. It had the benefit of allowing me to embed stuff like videos and pictures which was handy for some related items but it has no way to directly search for files or anything. I'd recommend yojimbo if you open it up and look at it and just think "nifty! all that stuff will come in handy!" It has a fair amount of polish and does a good job. I'd recommend devonthink pro if you have huge amounts of stuff to deal with. It's relational mojo is pretty cool and works fairly well.
You can use it in a manner quite similar to voodoo pad and depending on how you're organizing your information, it could suit you. Since most of what I need to collect is text in the form of txt, rtf, pdf, or webarchives, I can add a document or text to something in scrivener and then tag it with a couple keywords or something and it suffices for my purposes. There are some others that haven't been mentioned yet, like xPad(which is free), NoteBook and Mori. I used to use Notational Velocity for quite awhile before my requirements grew and switched to Yojimbo after some consideration. This is an Apple Mac, iPad or iPhone Video Tutorial from ScreenCastsOnline: DEVONthink is one of the most powerful database applications made for the Mac. Tried DevonThink Personal that came with MacHeist I for awhile but while it sounds nice it's, like mentioned before, better for research it seems than random notes. I also use MacJournal for writing diary-type notes that are more time-based (apparently version 5 is out and i didn't even know, need to have a look at that)ĮDIT: Took a look at the Together screenshots, looks quite alot better than before. Might be abit overkill for atleast my use, part of Yojimbo's appeal is that it's abit more robust and feature-rich than Notational Velocity but still allows you to quickly add notes without messing around too much with the UI. An iOS device usually has limited storage on board, so how do you manage large databases with often big chunks of content that users want to have access to instantly? The answer is a clever on demand system that uses Bonjour and/or a cloud service like box.com to synchronise databases between DEVONthink to Go 2 and DEVONthink on the Mac. The on demand sync feature, although an in-app purchase, is recommended.ĭEVONthink to Go 2 has a well designed interface. Its icons, buttons and settings are kept at a minimum, without sacrificing functionality.

For example, you can create and edit files in DEVONthink to Go 2 just as in its Mac counterpart. You also have the ability to scan documents for storage in the database, but not in the way you’re used to from the Mac.

On my iPad, I could scan a document with Scanbot and then use the DEVONthink extension to dump the scan in the app.Īfter scanning, I could annotate the resulting PDF in DEVONthink to Go 2 with my Premium in-app purchase that also gave me on-demand sync and support for email messages and other document types.Įditing a RTF file in DEVONthink to Go 2 is just as straightforward as on the Mac. Just as I am, the information I remember often to store permanently are all over the place. It needs to share some keywords and lingo. Certainly, DEVONthink works well for unstructured data-I mean, it has to, it's an information manager-but that data still needs to be relevant and similar to other pieces of data. And so, I don't think any kind of classification other than lightweight tagging, which itself is a hard abstraction away from the information, would work as well for me. And you know, as a person and a user, I could see myself using DEVONthink in the future this way as a cognitive scientist. It's great for active researchers who know exactly what they're looking for. Again, DEVONthink works best with topical data-data you can organize into topics yourself. I don't think I would've been able to us the Auto Classify or the Auto Group features as well as I could have anyway, because the information is just too diverse.
