DEVONThink on the iPad is best for referencing and - you guessed it - annotating PDFs. DEVONThink on the Mac is capable doing all the heavy lifting, all the heavy connecting, and all the heavy searching.
Second, and by far more importantly, DEVONThink on the Mac is simply superior to DEVONThink on the iPad. There are a few reasons I have wanted and needed to bring the Mac into my studying workflow.įirst, I’ve done a considerable amount of writing on the Mac, so having my notes handy on the Mac has been useful. DEVONThink’s Incredible Web Clipper (On the Mac) Here’s how I’ve been using DEVONThink on the Mac and on the iPad (but mostly on the iPad) in the last five months of heavy, heavy study. I’ve been especially impressed with how DEVONThink handles PDFs - doubly so considering it’s not a “PDF app” at all. While I still think DEVONThink’s power outpaces my needs, the app has worked exceedingly well for storing all sorts of information, quickly unearthing that information, and finding connections between files I never knew existed. And for the longest time, I always felt DEVONThink’s features outpaced my needs by an order of magnitude. I needed to find a different solution in a short period of time in early January, and I settled on DEVONThink.ĭEVONThink has been a widely-used, widely-loved, and long-heralded file management app for as long as I can remember. Overall, Craft was an imperfect solution for reading, marking up, and stuyding 125 PDFs of 30 pages a piece.

You can open the PDF inside Preview, but any annotations you make in the PDF has to be re-uploaded to Craft. Craft can house PDFs and quickly reference a PDF inside a block, but you can’t annotate a PDF in Craft.
Craft Notes is still one of my favorite new apps of the last four or five years, but it didn’t end up sticking as well as I thought when the real studying began. There were many positives, a couple negatives, and a whole bunch of naivety at that time. Back in December, I outlined how I studied course material for a major exam using Craft Notes.
