A recent series from user Tench is a fantastic intro to the kind of process that you are looking to build. Again, Eastgate is very generous in helping folks in your situation with the trial, advice, etc. I think nothing exceeds Tinderbox in note taking, and, especially, the ability of Tinderbox to help you worth with your notes to discover relations or links, organize them, and expand with references, visual maps, etc. (Indexing is a method by which DEVONthink knows about the documents and their content, but the documents themselves are stored outside the DEVONthink database.) First, though, I would work up your rules for document filing in Finder – whatever you do there can be imported to DEVONthink if you choose that route, or kept in Finder and indexed in DEVONthink.

Summary: I suggest getting the DEVONthink trial – the developers are very generous about extensions. Also does not integrate with Tinderbox without fiddling with Finder. No iOS app, but files can be accessed on iOS via Dropbox, etc. Does not integrate well with Tinderbox without doing continual gyrations via Finder. Keep It is a simpler app than DEVONthink, has an iOS companion, is far less capable for hierarchical organization than Finder or DEVONthink.DEVONthink (on macOS) works well with Tinderbox, see below. I wouldn’t want to repeat all of that – go to their forum and start asking. There are many many blogs, and discussions in the DEVONthink forum, from academics who successfully use DEVONthink for document organization and note taking.

DEVONthink has a price (get the Pro Office version because of its integration with scanning, etc.), and has the DEVONthink to Go companion for iOS.

Tinderbox works well with Finder, see below. Integration of Finder on macOS with iOS is not possible (if you want to use an iPad as a tool), but you could achieve that with Dropbox.

Finder obviously is free, and the ability to create hierarchical organization, along with tags, and smart searches, can do exactly what you want.

Organizing the source documents (PDFs), and capturing and working with your notes.ĭocument organization: the options I would consider (in order) are Finder, DEVONthink, Keep It, and Eagle Filer. I believe you have two tasks that might benefit from two types of software. So lots of authors, lots of books, lots of criticism, lots to organize. I’m doing an exam in literature, by the way, if that matters at all. To recap, I want to keep notes, pdf’s (or links thereto), and be able to organize them hierarchically and visually by author, subject, thesis, etc, etc. So, any thoughts? Any experiences with these? Will I regret not getting tinderbox? Am I forgetting something equally as good as the others? $220? It better come with a guarantee that I’ll pass… Ok, now this I don’t understand at all, but I’ve been playing with the demo and it seems powerful, flexible, intuitive, and almost perfect. I can’t see a reason to use this over 1 or 2, honestly. Haven’t tried this yet, but it looks useful–particularly like the fact that it can organize pdf’s. The price is good, though.ĭevonNotes/Think/etc. Good for notes, bad for pdf’s and not sure how it is for organizing thoughts. This looks simple enough to use, but not all that powerful or flexible.

I was wondering if you all had any opinions about the following apps, or if you all had better recommendations for things I should look at. So, I’m thinking I might need to do more than keep just my usual simple word/pages files, and I’ve been kicking around the web looking at possible applications that might help with this. I’ll also be taking notes on most of those books, articles, and random thoughts related to both. I’m getting started on studying for my PhD qualifying exams, and I’ll be reading somewhere around 100 books and probably hundreds of.
