There’s a free trial, so I’d recommend checking it out and comparing it to Devonthink. With EagleFiler you can freely edit shared text files on either device as well as create new ones, and syncing with Dropbox/iCloud (though renaming/deleting outside the Mac can cause EagleFiler to lose track of the files). And the owner and main dev Michael Tsai usually responds quickly to questions in the forum, which is head and shoulders above trying to contact Devon Technologies about anything. I just find it a cleaner, more attractive, and somewhat faster experience overall.
#DEVONTHINK PRO VS EAGLEFILER ARCHIVE#
I’ve recently been using it with my web browsers in conjunction with some of the provided bookmarklets that will save bookmarks or pages in pdf, Rich Text or Safari web archive formats. And I recently started using it to archive my tens of thousands of saved emails, thus allowing me to stop using the powerful but extremely unMaclike MailSteward app.


I switched to EagleFiler, and all my files remain on my drive in folders and are referenced in the app, so Spotlight works fine. If I needed all the features - especially unique ones like OCR - I’d still be using it. But the quirks and unfixed bugs (specific ones which I reported and finally got fixed two years after I stopped using the app) made it unpleasant to continue using. I used Devonthink for many years, starting with DevonNote, then Devonthink, then Devonthink Pro. >to the price, I see no reason to choose eagleFiler over Devonthink.ĭevonThink does more but its UI is a comparative mess, and you have to live inside it with no ability for Spotlight to index files (although I believe Spotlight *does* works in the iOS app). >Generally, Devonthink is more potent than EagleFiler. I had been asking the same question for the last couple of days. Thanks for the input, discussion always helps!
#DEVONTHINK PRO VS EAGLEFILER LICENSE#
I basically own a license for every app mentioned (except TheBrain-tried it, but didn’t like it), so it’s less about cost and more about what works. Meaning I’m left with an out-of-date looking app that will *hopefully* be updated soon (at least DTTG 2 is coming along well). The problem is that DTPO’s “flagship” feature (the Magic Hat) has never really worked for me. I’m an attorney with both a litigation and transactional practice in a paperless office and I would go insane without DTPO. I use DEVONthink the most and I couldn’t really live without it. >I’ve also learned to use the filesystem better and depend less on >And I’m bored of all of them and wish there were better options. >(Personally, I like DEVONthink and dislike Eagle Filer and Keep It. >thing because some guy on the internet told you what they like. >what you want to accomplish to begin with, odds are you’ll buy the wrong
#DEVONTHINK PRO VS EAGLEFILER SOFTWARE#
>with the software trying to make it work for you. We have been using Version 2 for ages without paying a penny. Developers of Devonthink is very generous for the license. They are updating the software every other year and ask the user to pay a hectic price for a new license. Foxtrot does great here.īut, Foxtrot has also a problem: the developers are suckers.

The proximity search I often use (>80% of my search) is useless in Devonthink. There is no point in indexing these files in Devonthink for me.
#DEVONTHINK PRO VS EAGLEFILER PDF#
I completely rely on Foxtrot for the searching PDF files. I find the Searchin in Devonthink less powerful than Foxtrot. The reason I want to eliminate Devonthink is because I am using Foxtrot for the same purpose. EagleFiler etcĪpart from regular note taking, the main advantage of Devonthink is for storing and searching PDF files.
