New Improved Fixed Removed Version 4.3.1 This maintenance release further refines the new DEVONthink Markdown parser with options like better image styling and captions, improved inline footnotes, and some fixes. This release also improves the MCP server, including safer handling of custom metadata, setting item aliases, opening documents externally, and using OpenLibrary as a fallback for Google Books. Additionally, we updated some image-generation AI models and now support Claude Opus 4.8. Support for headerless tables in DEVONthink Markdown. Pro — A new optional parameter for the `open_record` MCP tool allows you to open documents in an external application. This is disabled by default. Pro — An `exclude from chat` AppleScript property that we added to the `database` class lets you explicitly hide databases from AI access. DEVONthink's Markdown parser better supports styling directly in image links, including CSS units for scaling. DEVONthink renders alt text in an image link as an image caption and supports standard Markdown styling or linking, e.g., `![*Polar Bear*](/Animals/polarbear.png)`. Inline footnotes in DEVONthink Markdown preserve embedded links. Anchors in Markdown section headings are compatible with the MultiMarkdown implementation. Improved overall reliability of our Markdown parser and renderer. Updated Finder icons for all DEVONthink document types, e.g., `.dtBase2`, `.dtSmartRule`, etc., on macOS Tahoe. Pro — Updated AI > Mixture of Agents - Images template. Pro — You can now change an item's alias via MCP. Pro — Replicating items via MCP reports the destination of each item. Pro — The Chat assistant, the Chat - Query and Chat - Continue if smart actions, the `get chat response for message` and `display chat dialog` AppleScript commands, as well as the summarization and transformation chat popovers now also redact IBANs. The MCP server redacts IBANs if redaction is enabled. Pro — The MCP tool to resolve Google Books metadata now uses OpenLibrary as a fallback, as Google Books requires an API key to search. Pro — Boolean custom metadata is set more reliably via MCP. Pro — MCP tools in general are more reliable, including error responses and handling missing UUIDs for groups. We have improved the communication with the MCP server too. Pro — On macOS Tahoe, the Apple Speech Analyzer more reliably transcribes audio and video when an invalid language is specified via MCP or AppleScript. Pro — For the `download image for prompt` AppleScript command, we updated the name of some AI engines and also the description of some parameters. However, synonyms ensure older scripts are still compatible. Pro — We updated Claude Opus to version 4.8, via Anthropic and OpenRouter. Pro — We replaced GPT-Image-1.5 with GPT-Image-2. Note that "HD" quality produces larger images. Pro — Nano Banana 2 uses the commonly available version gemini-3.1-flash-image model. Pro — Editing images with Flux Pro or Max retains the original's image size, if possible. Pro — We updated the Recraft image-generation model, but note that it no longer supports styles. Pro — DEVONthink sanitizes Gemma 4 responses via Ollama. Server — Added localization to the See Also & Classify inspector in the web interface. The Markdown parser incorrectly detected an indented horizontal line with spaced characters, e.g., `* * *`, following a list in Markdown as a heading. Fixed. Callouts and blockquotes beginning with lines similar to MultiMarkdown metadata didn't parse and render correctly. Fixed. In Markdown documents, emboldened text following punctuation, e.g., `note:`, wasn't parsed properly by DEVONthink Markdown. Fixed. Markdown blockquotes separated by one empty line no longer merge into one quote. Fixed. The DEVONthink Markdown parser didn't allow CSS declarations containing spaces in YAML frontmatter. Fixed. Text in the toolbar search field of the Help viewer could overlap the clear button. Fixed. Pro — The MCP server couldn't be accessed during DEVONthink's trial period. Fixed. Pro — Looking up reminders via MCP could fail on items having no reminders. Fixed. Pro — Items with rich text custom metadata could cause an exception for the MCP server. Fixed. Pro — If an invalid value was given while modifying custom metadata via MCP, it could remove data from other fields. Fixed. Pro — Downloading a PDF based on its DOI via MCP could fail even if the PDF was publicly accessible. Fixed. Pro — Tagging bookmarks with an invalid URL or while being offline could crash when done via Apple's Foundation model on macOS Tahoe. Fixed. Pro — On rare occasion, web searching with AI could cause a crash in the Chat assistant, smart chat actions, or the `get chat response for message` AppleScript command. Fixed. Pro — Google's Nano Banana 2 and Pro could fail due to being asked for the wrong type of output. Fixed. Pro — Editing an image with Flux Pro or Max could crash if the original image's size was too large. Fixed. Server — Long Bonjour names specified in the Server > General settings could prohibit the web server from starting. Fixed. Server — PDF documents with emojis or an em-dash in their name downloaded in the web interface had an incorrect filename and a `.txt` extension. Fixed. Sync — Bonjour syncs could cause exceptions on rare occasion. Fixed. Pro — To reduce time and token costs of the chat assistant, we removed Allow image generation from the AI > Chat > Assistant settings. AI-generated images can still be made via the Generate Image window. Pro — We removed the Style setting from the AI > Image Generation settings and Generate Image window. We also removed the `style` parameter from the `download image for prompt` AppleScript command. Pro — Google soon discontinues the Imagen models so we removed them from image generation. Version 4.3 Herschel DEVONthink 4.3 Herschel introduces our MCP server: A safe, private bridge that lets Claude, Cowork, Codex, and other AI clients work directly with your databases. No scripting or third-party tools required. On macOS Tahoe, we now support Apple Intelligence for light tasks and Apple's faster SpeechAnalyzer for transcription. Other AI improvements include a leaner search assistant, a dedicated tagging model, and web search via ollama.com. A new Markdown parser and renderer replaces MultiMarkdown 6. It adds callouts, citations, and better compatibility with AI output. Desktop widgets bring the reading list, favorites, and workspaces to macOS Sequoia and later. For DEVONthink Server users, the web interface gains classification, context menu commands for moving, duplicating, and replicating items, and a dialog for opening item links. It also features a much better PDF viewer. As always, reliability and performance continue to improve.
Note: We name this release after the periodic comet 35P/Herschel–Rigollet, discovered in 1788 by Caroline Lucretia Herschel (1750–1848). Caroline was the sister of the famous astronomer William Herschel and made significant contributions to astronomy in her own right. She discovered eight comets and numerous nebulae and star clusters, and compiled an influential catalogue of deep-sky objects. Caroline Herschel was the first known professional female astronomer, became the first woman to receive a salary as a professional astronomer, and received the Gold Medal of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Replacing MultiMarkdown, our new Markdown parser and renderer supports features like callouts, citations, and tables with captions. It also brings improved CriticMarkup support and is more compatible with AI-generated output. Choose the renderer in the Preview popup in the Files > Markdown settings. Supported in macOS Sequoia and later, new desktop widgets let you access your Reading List or Favorites, load a Workspace, or view a tip from our blog. View `.highland` Markdown files used by screenwriters. The new URL command, `x-devonthink://open-workspace?name=`, lets you open an existing workspace. Pro — DEVONthink gets its own MCP server that provides a bridge between your databases and supporting AI applications, e.g., Claude. Comprising a suite of almost 60 commands, it is built with data privacy and security in mind, controlling local or remote access, redacting private information from being transmitted, honoring all exclusions from AI set on items (or databases), and limiting access to the internals of your database in the filesystem. In addition, when the server is running, a menu bar icon appears with commands for controlling the server, accessing the settings, or copying the URL you need. Requires macOS Sequoia or later. Pro — Use the new Settings > AI > MCP settings to set up and install the DEVONthink MCP server. The options include settings for privacy and making safe connections to other devices, on and off your network. Pro — The option Exclude from Chat & MCP in the Database Properties panel lets you easily exclude entire databases from AI access. This is enabled by default for encrypted and revision-proof databases. Pro — DEVONthink supports Apple Intelligence's Foundation model in the AI > Chat settings and AppleScript commands on macOS Tahoe and later. At this time, its use is limited to simple tasks like renaming, tagging, etc. as the context window is very small and vision is not supported. Pro — Choose the AI model for automatic tagging functions with the new Chat Suggestions popup in the Files > Tags settings. DEVONthink uses this, e.g., when importing files, using the Data > Tags commands, or smart rules and batch processing actions. Pro — Added support for LM Studio's reasoning effort (0.4.8 or later). Pro — You can now use an ollama.com account for web searches in the AI > Search settings. Server — Added an Open Item Link button to the Action toolbar button and the context menu of the item list in the web interface. This opens a dialog to enter an item link to be revealed. Server — Added a Reveal command to the context menu of search results in the web interface's item list, revealing the item and its location in the Navigate sidebar. Server — Added Move, Duplicate, and Replicate commands to the context menu in the web interface's item list, allowing you to navigate to and choose the destination for these functions. Server — Added a section for classifying items to the See Also inspector of the web interface, including a context menu with related commands. Converting Markdown documents to plain text, e.g., via the Data > Convert > To Plain Text command, strips all Markdown formatting and converts MathJax and DisplayMath into a more readable form. Sheets transcluded in Markdown use an underlying Markdown representation for a more consistent appearance across documents. The "What's New" window also appears while DEVONthink is in fullscreen mode. Copying item links includes a Markdown-formatted link for use with third-party editors. You can use an alternative syntax, `:==`, synonymously for the is search operator, e.g., in `created:==2026-04-14`. Commands like Open Externally use fewer resources, improving DEVONthink's responsiveness. Both the `digital object identifier` AppleScript property and the Digital Object Identifier smart rule and batch processing placeholder use also the URL to retrieve the DOI. The chat assistant and MCP server of the Pro edition benefit from this too. Pro — AI responses use our new Markdown parser, e.g., in the Chat assistant or the summary and transform popovers. Additionally, the Chat assistant knows how and when it's appropriate to use Markdown callouts (admonitions). Pro — The Chat assistant, AI smart actions, summarize and transform functions, AI-related AppleScript commands, and the new DEVONthink MCP server, redact or anonymize email addresses, links, credit card numbers, phone numbers, authentication tokens, and labeled secrets in the information sent to LLMs. Pro — The Chat assistant displays images returned by Perplexity Sonar models. Pro — The Help assistant uses fewer tokens and is faster and more reliable. Pro — "Exclude from Chat" in the Generic inspector is now Exclude from Chat & MCP. Pro — Local Apple SpeechAnalyzer replaces the "Local Apple Speech" option in the AI > Transcription settings on macOS Tahoe and later. This utilizes Apple's new SpeechAnalysis framework which processes audio locally and up to five times faster. Additionally, it will automatically download and install resources available for the specific language being transcribed. Pro — Researching PubMed and arXiv via the Chat assistant is more reliable. Pro — If AI requests the text contents of a document, DEVONthink provides a Markdown representation for better access to things like links and styling. This applies to RTF(D), HTML pages, formatted notes, and web archives. (PDF and EPUB documents are already supported). It also improves responses from many AI features, e.g., the Chat assistant and the `get chat response for message` AppleScript command. Pro — Batch tagging is more reliable with low-tier models, e.g., Magistral. Pro — The default role for AI-related features, e.g., the AI smart actions, `get chat response for message` AppleScript command, etc., includes the date, weekday, and current time. Pro — If the digital object identifier (DOI) or international standard book number (ISBN) is in the text, metadata, or content of a document, it is available to AI functions like the Chat assistant, `Chat - Query` smart action, or `get chat response for message` AppleScript command without processing the document further. Pro — Tagging documents with AI retains the spelling when Files > Tags > Use only existing tags of a database is enabled. Pro — An improved definition of DEVONthink's search syntax makes database searches via the Chat assistant, `Chat - Query` smart actions, and the `get chat response for message` AppleScript command more precise and reliable. Pro — Claude Opus is now at version 4.7, both via API and OpenRouter. With a knowledge cutoff of January 2026, it supports up to one million input tokens and 128,000 output tokens as well as high-resolution image processing, up to 3.75 megapixels. The Sonnet models also support up to one million tokens now. Pro — Updated OpenAI's GPT models to version 5.5, supporting a context window of one million tokens and a knowledge cutoff date of December 1, 2025, but at a much higher cost. Also, the internal names of these models no longer reference the version, ensuring future updates don't adversely affect scripts, templates, or smart actions. Pro — Updated Gemini 3.1 Flash (Preview) to Gemini 3.5 Flash, both via Google and OpenRouter. Note that the new model is three times as expensive as the former one. Pro — Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite is available via API and OpenRouter. Pro — Updated the Mistral Small model to version 4 and Mistral Medium to 3.5, both with a context window of 256,000 tokens and reasoning capabilities. However, these models are much more expensive than the previous ones. Pro — Qwen 3.5, Gemma 4, and versions 3 and 4 of Mistral Small are better supported locally and via OpenRouter. Pro — Improved token usage when using Perplexity for Web & Wikipedia searches. Pro — Updated the Flux image generation models to Flux 2 Klein, Pro, and Max. They support standard and HD quality and image editing, but not styles. Pro — Nvidia's Nemotron 3 is better supported. Pro — Xiaomi models are available in OpenRouter. Pro — Updated many models in OpenRouter: Grok 4, replaced by Grok 4.2. Mistral Small 3.2, replaced by Mistral Small 4. Gemma 3, replaced by Gemma 4. GLM 4.6 and 5, replaced by GLM 5.2. GLM 4.7 Flash, replaced by GLM 5(V) Turbo. Xiaomi MiMo-V2-Flash/Omni/Pro, replaced with MiMo-V2.5 and MiMo-V2.5 Pro. DeepSeek 3.2 and DeepSeek 3.2 (Speciale), replaced with DeepSeek V4 or DeepSeek V4 Flash. Kimi K2 2.5, replaced by Kimi K2 2.6. All Qwen models, replaced by various 3.6 models. Pro — OpenAI's GPT-OSS models are better supported via LM Studio or Ollama local. Server — A better PDF viewer in the web interface supports a table of contents, thumbnails, and searching in all browsers. Additionally, toolbar search terms are automatically used when selecting a PDF document in the search results. Server — The context menu in the web interface's item list is better supported on mobile devices. Server — Double-clicking a group in the search results of the web interface's item list now opens the group. Server — DEVONthink's self-signed certificates generated in the Server > General settings use even stronger 2048-bit encryption. Sync — Synchronizing RSS feeds less frequently duplicates articles. Converting Markdown documents to paginated PDF documents could sometimes fail. Fixed. Opening braces with no matching closing braces could break Markdown transclusions. Fixed. Converting images to PDF or merging PDF documents on macOS Tahoe could produce a document with only white pages. Fixed. Scrolling or selecting pages in a PDF document could mark the document as modified. Fixed. On rare occasions, annotating PDF documents could cause an exception. Fixed. Multi-page TIFF files couldn't be viewed or converted on macOS Tahoe. Regression. Fixed. Web windows opened without a record, e.g., via AppleScript, always opened at the same size with the Inspectors open. Fixed. Scrollbars in Widescreen mode didn't behave properly on macOS Tahoe. Fixed. Resizing document windows after switching to side-by-side mode didn't work correctly on macOS Sequoia and later. Fixed. Group tags didn't appear correctly in inactive tag fields. Fixed. In tagging fields, the popup arrow on hovered tags didn't appear in the correct position. Fixed. Depending on the date, time, and current locale, the contents of the Log window's Date/Time column could appear clipped. Fixed. Tooltip and click positioning in the Editing and Navigation bars were affected by a window's width on macOS Tahoe. Fixed. When using a Markdown document in the Annotation field of the Annotations & Reminders inspector, the Format > Add Link and Format > Edit Link commands weren't supported. Fixed. The Content > Table of Contents inspector didn't display correctly with Markdown documents using more than three backticks to mark fenced code blocks. Fixed. Clearing the color of groups and tags from the Generic Info inspector or Info popover didn't sync between devices. Fixed. On startup, a failure to open a database showed an alert that could freeze the application on rare occasions. Fixed. The JavaScript command `addReminder` didn't use the correct scheduling. Fixed. Pro — Transcribing PDF documents on demand, e.g., via Data > Recognition or automatically, produced inconsistent results. Fixed. Pro — Empty black or white PDF pages weren't ignored as input, leading to unnecessary AI time and token usage on macOS Tahoe. Fixed. Pro — Blockquotes in the Chat assistant weren't styled. Fixed. Pro — Text pasted into the Title field of the Imprinter settings incorrectly added a `%` character. Fixed. Pro — Adding or deleting a Font placeholder in the Title field of the Imprinter settings didn't update the Font selector popup. Fixed. Pro — Inserting a placeholder before an existing placeholder in the Imprinter settings replaced all the text following the new one. Fixed. Pro — Custom metadata definitions added via AppleScript could cause sync issues. Fixed. Pro — If DEVONthink was not running, the first scan from third-party software launched the app but didn't run OCR on it. Fixed. Server — In the web interface, PDF documents couldn't be viewed in Safari. Fixed. Server — PDF documents viewed in the web interface on an iPad only displayed the first page. Fixed. Server — Markdown documents didn't display images using relative links in the web interface. Fixed. Server — The table of contents for EPUB files didn't work. Fixed. Server — The arrow indicating the item list's sort direction was the opposite in the web interface. Fixed. Server — The user icons in the Server > Users settings didn't display correctly when launching in dark mode and switching to light mode while the settings were open. Fixed. Pro — Removed the Remote Apple Speech option from the AI > Transcription settings on macOS Tahoe and later. Pro — Removed OpenAI's GPT 4.1 models from API access and OpenRouter. We've also removed GPT 5.1, GPT 5.2, and GPT 5 Nano and Mini from OpenRouter as they have been superseded by newer models. Pro — Removed Claude Opus 4.6 (Fast) from OpenRouter. Version 4.2.2 Today's maintenance release lets you create powerful AI-driven searches and add tags more reliably via scripting. If you are using JavaScript for your automations, you can now use `.js` files. In AI, Gemini and Nano Banana get updates, and Claude 3 Haiku retires. We also have a few fixes, including better handling of `.opml` email attachments. Pro — Perform AI-driven research with multiple sources, e.g., arXiv, PubMed, even your databases, with the new `perform chat research` AppleScript command. Control where AI searches with the `sources` parameter and the number of results with `maximum results`. The appearance of placeholder text in the interface, e.g., in some empty table views, is more consistent with the system settings. We made some cosmetic improvements to the sidebar in the Help viewer. You can now load external JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripts with a `.js` extension in the Scripts menu, as well as use them for smart rules and batch processing. Tags separated by commas or semicolons are better parsed and applied when set via scripting. Updated application icon for older macOS releases and Sparkle. Pro — The automatically generated identifiers of custom metadata (see Data settings) now ignore characters reserved for our search syntax, e.g., `:`. Pro — Database searches via the Chat assistant, Chat - Query smart action, or the new AppleScript `perform chat research` command now filter irrelevant results. Pro — Revisions to the internal names of Anthropic's Claude models ensure future model updates won’t break existing scripts, templates, or smart rules. Also, the AI > Research Report and The Devonian Times templates now use Sonnet's revised name. Pro — Gemini Pro and Flash Lite are now at version 3.1 (Preview) via the native API and OpenRouter. Also, Gemini 3.1 Pro and 3.1 Flash handle reasoning better. Note that Gemini Flash Lite 3.1 (Preview) is more expensive than the former version 2.5. Pro — More reliable support in the chat assistant, the Chat - Query action of smart rules and batch processing, and the `get chat response for message` AppleScript command for evaluating mathematical expressions. In addition, the constant eps0 is now also supported. Pro — Ollama has improved support for the lfm2 model and GPT-OSS now reasons better. Pro — Ollama reasoning models (except GPT-OSS) enable thinking now only when using Settings > AI > Chat: Usage: Best (option is also available in the chat assistant). Otherwise it's disabled to speed up responses (e.g. up to twelve times faster in case of Qwen3.5). Pro — Nano Banana 2 replaces version 1 and now supports the Quality (HD or Standard) setting. Pro — The script assistant supports GPT 5.3 Codex via OpenRouter. Pro — We improved the AppleScript dictionary description of the `transcribe record… language` command. Server — When revisiting the web sharing interface, a warning dialog will appear if you're not logged in. Repairing a database with orphaned OPML documents incorrectly converted them to RSS feeds or outlines. Fixed. The View > Hide/Show toolbar command wasn't disabled in the Help viewer. Fixed. Converting an empty rich text document to plain text or Markdown failed. Fixed. Pro — Importing OPML email attachments always converted them to RSS feeds or outlines and could create orphaned files. Fixed. Pro — Removed the soon-to-be-retired Claude 3 Haiku. Bulk tasks, e.g., filtering search results, are now done with 4.5 Haiku. Note that the 4.5 model is more expensive. Pro — Removed all Qwen3 235b models from OpenRouter, except the ones for coding. Use the latest Qwen 3.5 models instead. Version 4.2.1 This maintenance release lets you mirror DEVONthink reminders to Apple Reminders via a new script. It also includes a hidden preference to disable dark mode only for PDF documents on macOS Tahoe or later, and lets you run batch processing on specified records via AppleScript. The Pro and Server editions support Claude Sonnet and Opus 4.6 and improve the support for zAI and Qwen models. The update brings several fixes, too, e.g., for lists in rich text documents not displaying in macOS Tahoe. The Scripts > Reminders > Export to Reminders menu item mirrors DEVONthink reminders to a DEVONthink list in Apple Reminders. A hidden preference, `DisablePDFDarkMode`, disables dark mode for PDF documents on macOS Tahoe or later. The `perform batch configuration… record` AppleScript command lets you run a batch configuration on specified records. Server — In the web interface, the toolbar search now supports the `scope:` prefix and its abbreviation, `s:`, similar to the `search` AppleScript command (see below). Search hits in PDF documents are better visible in dark mode on macOS Tahoe. Sorting sheets is more reliable on columns with identical cell content, especially dates. DEVONthink now better captures web content as clutter-free documents. The width of the current main or document window again determines the maximum width of the inspectors pane. The Thumbnails inspector is more reliable and should alleviate some rare crashes, e.g., caused after moving documents. Updated icon for the Global Inbox counterpart in the Finder. The AppleScript `search` command now supports the `scope:` prefix (or its abbreviation, `s:`) if you leave the `in` parameter unspecified or as a missing value. Supported scopes are: `all`, `inboxes`, `inbox`, `tags`, `trash`, or the quoted name of a database. Pro — Updated support for Claude Sonnet and Opus to version 4.6 via the native API and OpenRouter. The script assistant also uses the latest version of Claude Sonnet. For both models, DEVONthink uses adaptive thinking and effort instead of budget tokens (only natively via Anthropic). Pro — The AI > Research Report - PDF, AI > Research Report - HTML, and AI > The Devonian Times templates now use Claude Sonnet 4.6. Pro — Replaced zAI's GLM 4.7 with the latest version GLM 5 from OpenRouter. Pro — Improved support for zAI's GLM 4.x models. Pro — Optional support for API keys for LM Studio 0.4.0 or newer. Pro — Updated or replaced various OpenRouter models for the script assistant with more powerful models. Additionally, we have removed several OpenRouter models that no longer exist. Lists, e.g., bulleted lists, in rich text documents didn't display correctly on macOS Tahoe. Fixed. Checkboxes in sheets, as well as boolean custom metadata in List views in the higher editions, didn't display correctly on the latest macOS releases. Fixed. In the Info > Annotations & Reminders inspector, text colors in Markdown annotation documents were inconsistent. Fixed. Dates in sheets or List view columns weren't parsed correctly if the date contained a four-digit year and didn't match the format set in the system settings. Fixed. PDF text and note annotations didn't always remember their last used font, so changes such as moving or editing text reverted them to a default font. Fixed. Clipping paginated PDF documents didn't build them correctly on macOS Tahoe. Fixed. Emptying the trash could show a wrong, unnecessary alert in case of indexed, trashed items which can't be deleted (e.g. located in the user's library folder). Fixed. Finder tags of updated indexed items were used if the option to export Finder tags (see Settings > Files > Tags) was enabled instead of the option to import Finder tags. Fixed. Removing all tags, e.g., via Data > Tags > Remove All Tags, didn't trigger the `On Tagging` event of smart rules. Fixed. Minor visual glitches of File > Database Properties popover in the case of read-only databases. Fixed. The `createRecordWith` JXA command didn't support all properties of smart groups. Fixed. The `unlinked Wiki links` AppleScript property was incorrectly included in the `properties` property. Fixed. The direct, unnamed parameter of the `search` AppleScript command wasn't marked as required and can't be a missing value. Fixed. Pro — Settings > Imprinter didn't always save modified options. Fixed. Pro — Changing the duplex setting of the scanner interface could freeze the application. Fixed. Pro — Removed unsupported GPT Audio and GPT Audio Mini models from OpenRouter. Pro — Removed obsolete MoonshotAI Kimi K2 0905 and MoonshotAI Kimi K2 Thinking models from OpenRouter. Use the latest MoonshotAI Kimi K2.5 model instead. Pro — Removed obsolete zAI's GLM 4.5 Air model from OpenRouter. Use the new GLM 4.7 Flash model instead. Pro — Removed Qwen3 Max and Qwen3 VL models from OpenRouter. Use the latest Qwen3.5 models instead. Version 4.2 Cassini DEVONthink introduces a refreshed look with a new app icon and full support for Apple's Liquid Glass design on macOS Tahoe. On macOS Sequoia and later, sidebars and inspectors now animate smoothly in and out, and the Navigate sidebar is spring-loaded. Simply drag items to the window edge to reveal it automatically. PDF documents on Tahoe also respect your dark mode preference for more comfortable reading. The Chat assistant gains powerful new capabilities: adjust many options directly within the chat window, and access up to 50 saved conversations to pick up right where you left off. You can now choose between DEVONthink, Perplexity, or Exa for web and Wikipedia searches, giving you control over speed versus freshness. Updated AI models including Claude 4.5, GPT 5.2, Gemini 3, and Google Nano Banana Pro, deliver improved performance across all AI use. When generating images, you can choose the aspect ratio. New workflow tools help you work faster: the detachable Graph popover lets you visualize document connections, you can manually save named versions for finer revision control, and annotation files are now easier to create, locate, and open directly from menus and inspectors. Markdown documents also support smart quotes and dashes for polished typography.
Note: DEVONthink now requires macOS 13.5 Ventura or later.
Note: We name this release after the Cassini lunar crater and its namesake, Giovanni Domenico Cassini (1625–1712). The Italian-French astronomer served as the first director of the Paris Observatory. Cassini was a methodical observer and organizer of knowledge, systematically cataloging celestial phenomena and discovering four of Saturn's moons and the division in its rings. His dedication to precise observation and documentation lives on as one of the foundational principles of science.
DEVONthink supports Apple's Liquid Glass design language on macOS Tahoe and has a new, fitting app icon. We have modified many parts of the user interface and will continue to do so while Apple addresses issues. Many refinements we've made, e.g., to the popovers, apply to all supported system versions. The Data > New > Sheet panel lets you name the new sheet. An Open button in the Annotations & Reminders > Annotations inspector lets you quickly open the current annotation file. The Versions inspector supports manually creating named versions. The settings option Files > Markdown: Preview: Smart quotes and dashes tells DEVONthink to render quotes and dashes using their typographically correct variants. A warning shows when a database may be open in another user account. After updating DEVONthink to the next feature release, a What's New panel shows the top features of the release. A hidden preference, `WindowToolbarTitleHidden`, lets you hide a main window's title and gives you more space for toolbar items. Note that you cannot use it with the `WindowToolbarExpanded` hidden preference. The `unlinked Wiki links` AppleScript property for records helps detect WikiLinks without a linked item. The `HTTP response` class has two new AppleScript properties, `error code` and `error domain`, to aid in troubleshooting. Pro — New settings in the Chat assistant let you dynamically change options for the current chat, including the Search scope, Usage, and Documents mode. Pro — The Chat assistant now saves up to 50 chats, defined via the option Max. Recent Chats in the AI > Chat settings. DEVONthink automatically names previous chats and lets you access or remove them via the button in both the Chat inspector and popover. Up to ten of today's chats are listed at the top with previous chats in date-specific submenus. Selecting a previous chat will attempt to reveal or open the associated document or selection with the previously used document mode. Pro — You can open the Chat popover via the keyboard shortcut ⌃⌘A that we added to Tools > Chat. Pro — The new menu command Tools > Graph opens the Graph inspector in a floating, resizable popover. This popover will be restored on launch and with workspaces. Pro — Separate AI > Search settings let you control where you want AI to search. This also includes new Web & Wikipedia settings to search via DEVONthink (slower but more up to date), Perplexity, or Exa (faster, but using indexed content). Pro — The AI > Research Report template is now also available in a PDF variant. Pro — Support for DeepSeek 3.2 and 3.2 (Speciale) via OpenRouter. Pro — Support for the image generation model GPT-Image-1-Mini, accessible in the AI > Image Generation settings and the Generate Image panel. Pro — Support for Google Nano Banana Pro, generating images in 2K and 4K. Note that it generates images more slowly and is more expensive than Google Nano Banana. Also, the Mixture-of-Agents - Images template uses Google Nano Banana Pro, if available. Main and document windows now use modern APIs on macOS Sequoia and later, providing animated toggling of the sidebars and inspectors. You can also collapse these panes by dragging the separator to the window's edge. On macOS Sequoia and later, the Navigate sidebar is now spring-loaded and will automatically pop open if you drag an item to the left side of a main window. The Format Bar is available in fullscreen window mode on macOS 15 and later. You show or hide it with Format > Show/Hide Format Bar. The selected row in the Move To and Insert Link popovers has better contrast when they don't have focus. DEVONthink more consistently positions popovers relative to the current window. You can make the group selector larger than before. The appearance of informational text is more consistent throughout the interface. On macOS Tahoe, PDF documents now display in dark mode when General > Appearance > Use dark background for documents is enabled. When converting a rich text document to PDF, DEVONthink checks if the source document only contains a single PDF attachment and no useful text, then uses the found PDF. This also applies to email conversions in the Pro and Server editions. New entries made via Data > Add To > Table of Contents can use the bounds of a selection instead of just the page. The Table of Contents inspector is more compatible with poorly constructed HTML content, e.g., created by some AI models. The "Remind Me" submenu in the Data and context menus is now Annotate & Remind. You can still set a due date on a selected item but you can also create a new annotation document via the template of your choice. The annotation will open in a new document window or be displayed in the Annotations & Reminders > Annotations inspector, if it's open. The Insert Quote command of the Info > Annotations & Reminders inspector supports also Markdown documents. In the AI > See Also inspector, the keyboard shortcut for the Move To command is only shown when the ⌃ Control key is pressed. The context menu of the item list of main windows now includes a Reveal command to reveal replicants, duplicates, and an item's annotation document. The command Apply Rule is now available in the context menu for smart rules added to the Favorites. The document date placeholders submenus are now under the Document options. Using Data > Mark to lock or unlock a group applies the same to its children. This does not apply when locking an item via scripting or smart rules. Drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste is now more compatible with third-party editors. DEVONthink no longer shows a warning dialog after it crashed or was quit forcefully. Automation prompts to allow DEVONthink to control the Finder no longer self-dismiss. The `compare` AppleScript command now only returns a maximum of 40 results, consistent with the See Also & Classify inspector. You can now control how long the `download URL` and `download markup/JSON from` AppleScript commands run by using a `with timeout of x seconds… end timeout` block. Pro — Bookmarks are now supported in many AI-driven functions, like labeling, rating, and tagging via the Data menu, summarization, as well as smart rules, batch processing, and AI placeholders. Pro — When using an AI model supporting tool calls, e.g., the ChatGPT models, the Chat assistant can temporarily highlight words or sentences in the currently viewed document, similar to the Search inspector. Pro — The Chat assistant can now create comma or semicolon-delimited sheets (`.csv`), instead of just tab-delimited (`.tsv`) ones. Pro — The "Research Overview" template is now AI > Research Report - HTML. Pro — The AI > Research Report and AI > The Devonian Times templates use updated models: Gemini 3 Pro or Flash Preview, GPT 5.2, or GPT 5 Mini. Pro — The Help assistant now first tries to determine the most relevant help pages. This can drastically reduce the number of tokens used, up to 90%, and allows use of newer or more expensive (and more capable) models. Updated Google Nano Banana from preview to final release. Pro — Aspect Ratio replaces the "Size" option in the AI > Image Generation settings and Generate Image panel. Also, the `aspect ratio` AppleScript parameter replaces the "size" parameter of the `download image for prompt` command. Supported sizes are `1:1`, `16:9 (9:16)`, and `4:3 (3:4)`. This setting as well as which generative model is used and, optionally, the quality setting, control the size of the resulting image. Pro — The Chat assistant and AI actions like tagging or rating, better handle errors. The assistant also more reliably clears chats. DEVONthink better filters AI-generated error messages like those from placeholders in smart rules and batch processing, and also handles OpenRouter errors better, e.g., when a provider is overloaded. Pro — Updated GPT 5.1 to GPT 5.2, natively and via OpenRouter. Also, GPT 5 Pro, 5.1 Codex, and 5.1 Codex Mini are available in the Chat assistant via OpenRouter, the Codex and Codex Mini models in the Script assistant. Pro — Updated GPT-Image-1 to GPT-Image-1.5. The Data > New From Template > AI > Mixture-of-Agents template support the new model. Pro — Updated Anthropic Claude 4.1 Opus to 4.5 and Haiku to version 4.5, natively and via OpenRouter. Claude 4.5 Opus is less expensive, a new parameter reduces response time and costs. Claude 4.5 Haiku supports reasoning, more output tokens, and has knowledge up to July 2025. Pro — Updated Gemini 2.5 Pro to Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 2 Flash to Gemini 3 Flash (Preview), natively and via OpenRouter. Also, responses to vision requests are quicker, cheaper, and support a vision limit of 200 items, useful for video, multi-page PDF documents, and multiple selected images. Pro — Updated support for Mistral Large 3, including via OpenRouter. Also Mistral's Devstral Medium model is now Devstral 2, with a context window of 256,000 tokens and supported in the Script assistant. Pro — Mistral and local models have improved tool call support. Pro — Ollama, LM Studio, and OpenAI (Compatible) models now require a minimum context window of 4,096 tokens. We recommend 16k (16,384), when possible. Pro — Depending on the usage setting, LM Studio can process images with a maximum dimension up to 2,048 pixels. Pro — DEVONthink examines and filters OpenAI (Compatible) models for capabilities, e.g., vision or tool call support, with servers not reporting this information on their own. Note that the context window still needs to be specified. This provider is also more compatible with endpoints hosting models like GPT 5.x or the O-models. Pro — Updated further models usable via OpenRouter: Grok 4 Fast to Grok 4.1 Fast, Nova Lite 1.0 to Nova 2 Lite, and zAI's GLM to version 4.7. Pro — Better support for the Qwen3 models.

When detached, the Information popover didn't update when switching tabs in the frontmost document window. Fixed. The header of tables in various inspectors, e.g., Concordance > List showed artifacts on macOS Tahoe. Fixed. For favorited groups, the item count wasn't shown and their unread count didn't match what was reported in the item list. Fixed. The internal versions group was neither properly filtered when determining statistics in Database Properties nor was it ignored in toolbar searches. Fixed. Deleting a version from the Versions inspector would incorrectly close the current tab or document window. Fixed. The Tools > Show Info command closed the popover instead of activating it. Fixed. The context menu could display an unnecessary and disabled Put Back command. Fixed. The keystroke ⌃↩ on modern versions of macOS didn't work properly in Icon view and could also change text selections. Fixed. Pressing the ⎋ Escape key with the database authentication panel open caused an issue. Fixed. The Sorter didn't always appear in the menubar on macOS Tahoe. Fixed. The `Apply Rule` smart action didn't work properly if the applied rule ran asynchronous actions, like chat suggestions. Fixed. Pro — In rare cases, while in List view with a specific custom metadata field shown, disabling that field on another device and synchronizing could crash the app. Fixed. Pro — The Tools > Chat command didn't close an already open popover. Fixed. Pro — The prompt field didn't have focus when the Chat popover opened. Fixed. Pro — The Model popup in the Script assistant was too narrow for many OpenRouter models. Fixed. Pro — If the same model was accessible via a local and a remote Ollama installation, the local model was chosen in the Model popup in the Chat assistant or AI-driven smart actions, e.g., `Chat - Query`. Fixed. Pro — Embedded models in Ollama were not filtered from the model list. Fixed. Pro — The Chat toolbar item wasn't disabled when a Chat popover was already open. Fixed. Pro — Markdown blocks in chat messages were sometimes stripped out during chat or when saving the conversation. Fixed.

Visual glitches on macOS Tahoe after switching between light and dark mode, a common Liquid Glass issue. Version 4.1.1 This release helps mitigate AI risks, especially when processing online content, to reduce the potential for malicious prompt behavior. We also updated the supported AI providers, adding support for Google's Nano Banana image engine and Anthropic's Claude 4.5 Sonnet. DEVONthink now detects empty pages when clipping PDFs, ensuring more consistent and useful results, and we made the Safari and share extensions more reliable on macOS Tahoe. Mailboxes in the Import sidebar load faster and match Apple Mail's appearance and you can modify a document's searchable text via the chat or scripting. On the sync side, DEVONthink now automatically adjusts resource usage based on your machine's temperature and workload, and sync in general is more performant. Of course, we fixed bugs and glitches, too. We added independent buttons for the Insert Back Link and Insert Quote commands to the Annotations & Reminders > Annotations inspector. Pro — We added two new options to the AI > Chat settings: Allow download of web pages and Load remote images automatically to let DEVONthink download and examine web content while generating a response. We disabled these options by default, as they could be considered insecure. Pro — We added separate Destination settings for image recognition and multimedia transcription. Pro — DEVONthink now suports Anthropic's Claude 4.5 Sonnet model with pricing and possibilities identical to Claude 4 Sonnet. In addition, the Script Assistant uses now this model instead of Claude 4 Sonnet. Pro — We added support for Google's Nano Banana text-to-image engine in all image creation functions, e.g., the Generate Image window. This model supports image editing, and, unusually, defines the size and style directly from the prompt. You must have a Gemini API key to access this model. We improved the consistency of syntax colorizing for quotes in Markdown documents. When converting EPUB documents, clipping web content, or using the `download PDF document from` AppleScript command to create PDF documents, DEVONthink now detects empty black and white pages and either filters them out or aborts the clipping. When you select a local or global smart group or smart rule in the Navigate sidebar, DEVONthink now uses the targeted group as the destination for new items and grouping selected items. We reduced resources used for versioning by 90%, especially during toolbar searches and while updating smart groups and rules. DEVONthink now explicitly registers its extensions to ensure they're available in Safari and macOS' Share menu on macOS Tahoe or later. You can now modify the `plain text` AppleScript property of transcribed files, e.g., images, PDF documents, audio and video files. You can also use the `transcription` synonym. The external smart script `Zettel-ID` handles errors caused by Markdown documents that don't contain this ID. We improved the handling of menu scripts execution. Pro — Apple Mail mailboxes and their structures now load faster and more reliably in the Import > Emails sidebar. Pro — Cross-linking items is now easier; just drag and drop an item onto the item link pop-up menu in the Info > Data inspector or sheet form views. Pro — The Help assistant provides the current help page to the chat, enabling summarization, translation, and other AI-assisted tasks. Pro — The Help and Chat assistants retain unsent prompts when reopening windows, inspectors, or popovers. Pro — A revised system prompt for chats eliminates unnecessary AI remarks about anonymized links. Pro — You can optionally save images created or edited via the Chat assistant to the database via prompt. DEVONthink adds the prompt to the Finder Comments of the image. Pro — The Chat assistant lets you modify the searchable text of transcribed documents (e.g., images, PDFs, audio, and video files), allowing updates to translated or spell-checked versions. Pro — The context window of the current AI model now determines the number of tags available for the Files > Tags > Import > Use only already existing tags of a database setting. Pro — Database searches are faster across the board, from the Chat assistant to smart actions and scripting, with notable gains for local AI models. Pro — Web and Wikipedia searches via the Chat assistant, AI smart actions, and AppleScript commands now also use the Ecosia and Yahoo search engines and better filter results from Bing and Brave. Pro — All AI responses, whether from summarization, transformation, script commands, or the Chat assistant, now undergo sanitization to remove potentially insecure content. Tool call names are stripped from the input, web page downloads are restricted to non-document queries, and the Chat assistant disables downloads after accessing item contents, annotations, or comments. Pro — DEVONthink more reliably handles broken links and item links, e.g, returned by OpenAI's gpt-oss model. Pro — Google's Gemini models now automatically use the latest versions of their Flash Lite, Flash, and Pro models Pro — The The Devonian Times and Research Overview templates now default to Claude 4.5 Sonnet when Claude is the selected AI provider.

Version 4.1 Europa Here it is, the first feature release for DEVONthink 4. Choose from a much wider range of server-based AI models via OpenRouter or by connecting to just any OpenAI-compatible provider. Integrate models from, e.g., Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, xAI, Baidu, Moonshot AI, Qwen, and more. In addition, DEVONthink Europa adds native support for Claude 4.1 Opus, Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite, OpenAI GPT-5, Google Imagen 4, and the latest models by Mistral. Connect to your institution's Ollama installation with a new configuration option. To further automate your work, describe your task to the the AI-powered script assistant. It generates AppleScript and JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripts and even corrects common scripting issues. Edit images, both generated or dropped in from other sources, with prompts using common AI image generation models. As generative AI is notoriously bad at maths, the Chat and other AI-assisted functions now support mathematical functions, and if you're working in academia, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) gets direct access to the huge document collection on arXiv. In addition, DEVONthink Europa comes with a new Quick Look extension for previewing Spotlight results on macOS Sequoia and later, and more responsive editing of especially larger Markdown documents. It also updates and sorts lists and empties the trash significantly faster.
Note: This version is named after Europa, Jupiter's fourth-largest moon. It is a captivating world encased in an icy shell that hides a global subsurface ocean, one of the most promising locations for extraterrestrial life in our solar system. Discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, its name, rooted in Greek mythology, reflects its enduring allure as a symbol of curiosity and the unknown.
A new script editor, opened via Data > New > Script lets you draft different DEVONthink scripts, e.g., for reminders or smart rules. A new Quick Look plugin lets you preview documents in, e.g., Spotlight searches on macOS Sequoia and later. This only supports standard file formats: rich and plain text, PDF, HTML, XML, images, audio, and video. A new search criterion `Kind is PDF+Text` serves as a shortened form of `Kind is PDF/PS` and `Word Count > 0`. Additionally, the toolbar search syntax is `kind:pdf+text`, its negated form `kind:!pdf+text`. Added a placeholder to the alarm text field in the Info > Annotations & Reminders inspector. The `Zettel-ID` external script for the `Script with Input/Output` smart rule action pull this information from Markdown metadata. The AppleScript `record` class supports the new read-only properties `language` and `markdown source`. Pro — Support for OpenRouter is available in the AI > Chat settings and the AppleScript suite. This provides access to some AI models that aren't natively supported. Currently accessible models are from: Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Mistral, OpenAI, Perplexity, xAI, Baidu, Deepseek, Moonshot AI, Qwen, zAI, noting we aren't providing access to beta, preview, experimental, outdated, or distilled models. The Help assistant, as well as the Research Overview and Mixture of Agents - Text/Markdown templates, also support OpenRouter. Pro — Added support for OpenAI's GPT-5 models. Currently much less expensive than the 4.1 models, it does have a much smaller context window of 400,000 tokens but supports more output tokens and has been trained on more up to date information. Due to the lower costs, web searches are filtered with GTP-5 Nano. Pro — Added support for Anthropic's Claude 4.1 Opus. Pro — Added support for Mistral's Voxtral transcription to the AI > Transcription settings. Currently, this uses Voxtral Mini and is less expensive than OpenAI's speech-to-text models.

A Replicate.com account is required to use this model. Pro — Added vision support to the Perplexity models Sonar, Sonar Pro, and Sonar Reasoning. Pro — Added Ollama (Remote) the Chat > AI > Provider settings and renamed "Ollama" to Ollama (Local). This allows you to access Ollama running on a network, e.g., at a company or university. The remote provider is also supported in AppleScript, e.g. by the `get chat response for message` command. Pro — Added a script assistant, available in the Script Editor window, smart actions Apply Script and Script with Input/Output, or reminder scripts. Describe the action you need and a code-compatible AI model will provide a draft script to get things started. Pro — Save all images in a chat with the Save All Images context menu of the Chat assistant, available if the current chat contains more than one image. Pro — The Generate Image window can now modify a generated image or one dropped or pasted into the window. Also, images generated via the Chat assistant can be modified. And as the Chat popover is persistent between launches, you can modify an image in it at a later time. Currently, this function is only available with certain models: Flux Schnell, Pro, Pro Ultra, Stable Diffusion Large or Turbo, and GPT-Image-1. Pro — The Generate Image window now displays a history of created images. Pro — Given the poor calculations produced by LLMs, a new tool lets the Chat assistamt, smart actions, and AppleScript commands evaluate mathematical expressions. Pro — Added the new The Devonian Times template, summarizing today's news via AI. Pro — Added the arXiv site as a search option the the AI > Chat settings. Pro — Added a Language menu to the AI > Summarization settings. Pro — Added a new built-in smart rule, `Apply Chat Suggestions`. This applies seven common AI suggestions to matched documents, e.g., tagging, summarization, etc., utilizing placeholders and one AI request. This rule can be duplicated and modified to suit your needs. Pro — The Chat assistant, smart actions like `Chat - Query`, and the `download chat response for message` AppleScript command can download links in various formats (HTML, Markdown, text, snapshot). The format is automatically chosen, either by the AI or depending on the user's prompt. Currently, this only works with commercial models. Pro — The new AppleScript property `current chat model` returns the default model. Pro — The new `get chat capabilities for engine… model` AppleScript command retrieves the capabilities of a specific AI model. Pro — The `get chat response for message` AppleScript command now has a `usage` parameter to improve results or control the costs of using external AI. "Audit-proof" databases have been renamed to Revision-proof. Editing very long Markdown documents is more performant. DEVONthink detects links in Markdown documents at least 25 times faster when syntax coloring and WYSIWYG is enabled. Markdown WikiLinking now supports `[[link|-]]` to use the title of a linked item. This can be useful when using short aliases for linking. Prism.js renders Objective-C code marked with the alternate `objc` or `language-objc` as well as the default `language-objectivec`. DEVONthink indexes web-based documents and converts them to plain text better. The Go > To Document and Edit > Insert > Item Link popovers now search after a short delay to avoid interfering with typing. Updating or sorting by name or kind in item lists is up to ten times faster, including in popovers such as Go > To Document. Editing annotations in the Info > Annotations & Reminders inspector now supports versioning. The Data > Move > Put Back command as well as its context menu counterpart display the destination when only one item is selected. For quicker sorting, the Ascending and Descending commands are now at the top of the View > Sort menu and the sort popup menu in the Information bar of main windows. The Add and Preview buttons in the Sorter now display their shortcut keys when you hold the Command key. In the Sorter's Voice Note and Video Note tabs, the camera and microphone menu is disabled if DEVONthink is disabled in macOS' Privacy & Security > Camera settings. Emptying the Trash is up to five times faster when versioning is not enabled. DEVONthink's built-in folder action scripts now run smart rules using the `perform smart rule` AppleScript command with the `On Import` and `On OCR` event triggers, as appropriate. Querying tags via AppleScript is now supported, e.g., `tags contains "support"` or `where its tags contains {"2025","documentation"}`. Records now support the sheet-related AppleScript commands `get cell at row/column`, `set cell at row/column`, `add row cells`, and `delete row at position`. The AppleScript database property "audit proof" is now `revision proof`. However, `audit proof` has been added as a synonym to ensure backwards-compatibility. Pro — Summarizing documents to annotations, e.g., via Edit > Summarize via Chat or Tools > Summarize Documents via Chat, first saves a version when versioning is enabled. Pro — The Research Overview template now supports local AI engines and models having tool call support and a context window of at least 32,000 tokens. Pro — The notification of a chat-summarized RSS article is simpler when only one article is involved. Pro — The search assistant now accepts local AI models with a context window of at least 8,000 tokens. Pro — In the Import > Image Capture sidebar, the Group menu now has a search field for quickly locating groups. Also, the destination settings are saved after each scan and restored when reconnecting to the scanner. Pro — The From date in the Import > Emails sidebar now defaults to the last used To date. Pro — The Chat assistant better handles detecting selected documents, especially when using the Chat popover. Pro — AI-directed features using web, Wikipedia, and PubMed searches are more efficient, filtering out excess or links already processed by concurrent searches. This affects e.g., the Chat assistant, smart actions, and AppleScript commands, and could speed up responses and minimize token usage. Pro — The Chat assistant's progress indicator more clearly shows chat activity, e.g., searching or downloading resources. Pro — The Chat assistant doesn't scroll a received chat response out of sight anymore. Pro — Prompt fields across the application, e.g., in the Chat assistant, the Generate Image window, and the Help assistant, now support using ⇧↩ in addition to ⌥↩ for inserting a line break. Pro — The model menu in the Chat assistant features a search field if more than 25 items are available. Pro — Search request made to Google, Bing, and Brave via chat functions, e.g., the `Chat - Query` action or prompts in the Chat assistant are more reliable. DEVONthink also handles Mistral's rate limits better. Pro — Bulk processing items via chat, e.g., tagging or summarizing, uses better error handling. Pro — Chat tools calls for local AI models have a reduced temperature for more reliable results and can now download web pages as needed. In addition, the Chat assistant handles errors better. Pro — Irrelevant PubMed and arXiv search results are now filtered in all AI functions, e.g., in the `Chat - Query` smart action, maintaining the context of the current conversation. For commercial providers, the least expensive model is used for filtering. Additionally, once enough results have been received from these site and Wikipedia, other pending evaluations are cancelled, saving both tokens and time. Pro — Chat suggestions in smart actions, e.g., suggested tags, are more reliably retrieved. Pro — The `download image for prompt` AppleScript command now reports an error if the specified model doesn't support image editing. When using the Flux engine, the Flux Kontext models are used as they are built for image editing, not just generation. Pro — Updated Gemini 2.5 Flash to the final version. Pro — Both filtering web search results and the Help assistant use now Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite. Pro — Updated Google Image 4 to final version and is used in the Mixture-of-Agents - Images template. Pro — Both AI > Mixture-of-Agents templates no longer use Perplexity due to an increase in irrelevant responses. Pro — Updated Mistral Medium to version 3.1. Mistral Large 3 has better vision support. And "Mistral AI" has been renamed to Mistral in the AI settings and Chat assistant. Pro — The default context window set by DEVONthink for Ollama is now 16,000 tokens. Pro — The "GPT4All" provider has been renamed to OpenAI (Compatible) and can be used connect to any compatible remote services.

Version 4.0.2 This maintenance release introduces support for Google Imagen 4 (Preview), along with several improvements and fixes. We enhanced handling of relative links in Markdown documents to allow spaces, and we corrected an issue with list indentation. We also improved document language detection, which can influence Chat-suggested properties like tags. The Favorites section, e.g., in the Move To context menu now correctly lists all favorited groups. Colored groups also show their designated colors in more locations, such as the Path bar. For AI features, we expanded the prompt field in the Chat and Help assistants to accommodate longer prompts. We extended the timeout period for image generation, and queries will retry up to two times when necessary. As always, we focused on increasing the application's stability and reliability. Pro — Added support for Google Imagen 4 (Preview), accessible in the AI > Image Generation settings, Data > New > Generate Image window, and the `download image for prompt` AppleScript command. Image links in Markdown documents now support relative URLs containing spaces without requiring percent-escaping. Custom colored groups now display in color in more places in the interface, e.g., the Path bar. DEVONthink better detects the language of documents, whether you import, index, or create them within the application. This can also improve results of chat-based features of the higher editions, e.g., tag suggestions or summarization. Pro — The prompt field in the Chat and Help assistants can now use up to one-third of the pane's height. Pro — The Chat assistant, chat-driven smart actions, and the `get chat response for message` AppleScript command now perform two retries, as needed. Additionally, the Chat assistant now shows a message when retrying queries. Pro — Image generation requests run longer before they timeout. Pro — Using `engine GPT-Image-1` with the AppleScript command `download image for prompt` now supports the `image` parameter. Pro — Using Pico AI Server now supports vision for Gemma 3. We also reduced extraneous logging. Server — In the web interface, only groups with sub-groups display a disclosure triangle.

Server — The item list and view/edit pane didn't scroll at the same rate. Fixed. Version 4.0 Copernicus Our fourth major release — DEVONthink 4.0 Copernicus — brings a host of powerful new features and improvements. DEVONthink now supports external AI providers, both commercial and local AI, as a complement to its own internal engine and implemented with privacy and data safety in mind. You can also write search queries in natural language, let the AI summarize or transform text, and extract text from images or handwritten notes. Use speech-to-text to transcribe and save the speech from media files. You can even create images using AI, directly within DEVONthink. Store important legal or financial documents in audit-proof databases and as PDF/A. Text in PDFs without text layer and in images is searchable without OCR, and versioning lets you return to previous versions of a document. Edit a document's table of contents, adjust spacings, and fine-tune the WYSIWYG display for Markdown. Organize your favorites, smart groups, and smart rules into groups. We also added new inspectors, most notably a graph that visualizes document relationships. The rewritten web interface of the Server edition is built on a modern foundation, more powerful yet easier to use. For automators of any skill level, there are new and improved smart actions, including some utilizing AI, as well as many new AppleScript commands. Batch processing now lets you save and reuse configurations.
Note: DEVONthink now requires macOS 13 Ventura or later.
Note: We're dedicating this version to the Copernicus lunar crater and its namesake, the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus (1473–1543), who revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Contrary to the prevailing view that the Earth was the center of everything, he proposed that the Sun revolved around the Earth. This crater, with its rays extending across the lunar surface, is as notable as the groundbreaking ideas of the man it honors.
Document versioning lets you preserve certain states of documents you're editing. Examine or restore saved versions from the new Versions inspector. Audit-proof databases, a new type of databases, prohibit modifying documents placed into them, often necessary for legal or financial documents. Create archival PDFs in PDF/A-2 format via: Data > Convert > to Flattened PDF (with Annotations burnt in), `Convert (& Continue)` smart actions, and the `convert record` AppleScript command. Create new PDF bookmarks with the Add to Table of Contents command in the context menu of the view/edit pane, Content > Thumbnails inspector, and the Data > Add To menu. The new batch processing window allows you to create your own library of reusable configurations. Browse the built-in help in the new Help viewer with built-in navigation and search. With the higher editions, you have access to an assistant for chatting with AI about all things DEVONthink, even in languages other than English. Toolbar searches have a new Related Words option, considering also words contextually similar to your entered search terms. A new Tags inspector shows current, related, and suggested tags for the selected document. It also displays a graph of relationships for a selected tag. The Destination and Location popup menus in the Sorter or View > Import section controls, as well as the context submenus for Move To, Duplicate T, and Replicate To, now have a search field at the top for more efficiently locating groups. Additionally, the location of potential matches is shown in macOS 14.4 Sonoma and later. Add reminders to selected items with the Remind Me command available in the Data and contextual menus. Data > Move To > Put Back returns moved, classified, or trashed items back to their previous location. This command is also available via the context menu. Apply tags automatically with the new menu command Data > Tags > Assign Existing Tags. It uses DEVONthink's internal AI to look for tags on similar documents or find tags within the name and text and apply them automatically. Typewriter-like scrolling keeps the currently edited line in the center of the document window. Enable or disable this feature via the Format menu or in the Editing > Format settings. Change the scope bar options of toolbar searches with key commands. Press ⌃⌥1 through 4 while a search is active. Choose whether you want to show the documents contained in a selected group in the view/edit pane with the General > Interface > Preview group content setting. The General > Appearance settings allow assigning colors for duplicate and replicated items. The Editing > Format settings let you control margin, line spacing, and maximum line widths. We added Update name of WikiLinks in square brackets automatically to the WikiLinks settings. Disable automatically loading bookmarks with the Files > Preview > Automatically load bookmarks setting. This might help avoiding issues with problematic bookmarks. We added the option Files > Import > Use content creation & modification dates to use dates from a document's content instead of filesystem dates. Disable or enable sending anonymized usage data via the General > General > Usage: Send anonymized analytics data setting. See our company's Privacy page for more information on the data that may be sent. The menu command Help > Hidden Preferences lets you more easily access rarely used settings. We added many new smart actions, e.g., `Script with Input/Output` for processing and passing data, `Set Script Input` that holds data to be passed to the action, and a batch processing action, `User Input` that allows you to enter information each time the automation runs. We also added new placeholders, e.g., `User Input` holding the text you entered with the batch processing action of the same name, `Script Output` with the return value from the `Script with Input/Output` smart action, and `Original Name` using the originally imported name of a document. And we added many external scripts for use with the `Script with Input/Output` smart action, e.g., `Text - Lowercase/Uppercase` and `Daily Quote`, that execute and pass the result to the next actions. Add text to an existing document, by inserting, appending, or replacing the existing content, with the powerful `update text` AppleScript command. Install some popular script libraries from Late Night Software, e.g., Dialog Toolkit Plus, via the DEVONthink > Install Add-Ons panel. Pro — DEVONthink can access external AI engines — both commercial and local models — in a complementary but powerful role to its internal AI. Currently supported commercial services are the latest models of: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Mistral AI, and Perplexity. Supported local AI applications are GPT4All, LM Studio, and Ollama. Depending on the capabilities of each model, DEVONthink supports these AI functions: vision, tool calls, reasoning, and deep research. Pro — A new Chat assistant lets you interact with external AI engines in a variety of ways, from document examination to impromptu inquiries. You access it in a new Chat inspector and Chat popover. Copy or save your chats as a document for later reference, if needed. Pro — We added a new suite of AI-driven templates in the Data > New from Template > AI submenu. These cover a variety of use cases, like deep research, image creation, story writing, and transcribing media and other documents into meeting notes. Pro — Using Apple's Vision framework, DEVONthink will index certain PDFs on import, e.g., those with no text layer, an incomplete one, or with unintelligible content. This makes PDFs searchable without doing OCR explicitly. You can disable this behavior with the Files > Import > Transcribe PDF documents setting. Pro — Via AI, DEVONthink can recognize text in images, including some handwriting, and speech converted to text in media documents. The results can be stored as searchable text, Finder comments, or in an annotation document. Pro — The Data > New > Generate Image command lets you create images via your chosen text-to-image AI engine without leaving the application. Pro — A new Search Assistant popover lets you write search queries in natural language and convert them to DEVONthink's search language via AI.

For images and media files that have recognized text saved as Searchable Text, you can insert the transcription. Pro — The menu command Edit > Summarize via Chat opens the Summarize popover for a selected document. Pro — Summarize selected documents via AI using Tools > Summarize Documents via Chat. Output to a chosen format, e.g., rich text or a Finder comment. Pro — The new Data > Recognize submenu gives you AI commands recognizing text and notes or barcodes in an image or transcribing speech-to-text. Pro — New commands in the Data menu's Rating, Label, and Tags submenus let you use AI to change the metadata on selected files. Pro — The new Graph inspector displays a variety of relationships for a selected document, e.g, WikiLinks, item links, mentions, etc. Pro — Produce auditing records listing the import, renaming, and deletion history of the contents of an audit-proof database via new commands in the File > Export and Tools menus. Pro — We added functions for importing email attachments, including Tools > Import Email Attachments, Files > Emails > Import attachments in the settings, and the `import attachments of record` AppleScript command. Pro — The new AI settings pane lets you control various AI functions: Chat for setting up your default AI engine, Summarization to setup how summarization is done, Image Generation, and Transcription. Pro — We added a Chat Font Size option in the General > Appearance settings to change the font size in AI-related actions, e.g., in the Chat assistant or the Summarize and Transform popover. Pro — We added a Recognition section to the Files > Import settings, containing options for processing incoming documents with AI, e.g., to transcribe media files or PDFs. Pro — The new setting Files > Tags > Import: Add Chat suggestion to documents lets you use AI to examine a document and add tags to it. You can limit the suggestions to already existing tags. Pro — Import messages or mailboxes from Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook with key commands that you set up in the Files > Emails settings. Pro — The new batch processing window offers several built-in configurations using AI in a variety of ways, e.g., classifying documents or renaming a document based on its content. Pro — Use AI-driven smart actions, e.g., `Chat - Query` for general AI queries, and the conditional `Chat - Continue if` action that only continues running with a positive response. Pro — Run OCR and use the created document for subsequent actions using the `OCR & Continue` smart action. Pro — We added new `Chat Suggestions` placeholders that DEVONthink resolves using AI, e.g., `Price`, `Company`, or `Summary`. Pro — Several new AppleScript commands let you use external AI, e.g., `get chat response for message`, `download image for prompt`, and `transcribe record`. These commands also include many deep parameters, e.g., `model`, `temperature`, and `thinking`, to create very detailed AI interactions. Pro — The new Chat category of the Scripts menu provides you with some useful example scripts. Markdown documents now support live scrolling in Side-by-Side view and the rendering updates as you edit. Also, WYSIWYG editing now displays image links as images and hides raw URL data in the Markdown source. Quickly create crosslinks between documents by typing `>>` and choosing from suggested matches. Square bracket WikiLinks now support alternate names and section anchors, e.g., `[[Technical Note 15040|Email Issues#remedies]]`. Toolbar search results now support using the View > Show/Hide Details command to let you toggle displaying the matched item's location. Toolbar searches are now more forgiving with some syntax, internally correcting it as needed. You now can group your custom items in the Navigate sidebar, e.g., your favorites, smart rules, etc. We relabeled some inspectors: "See Also & Classify" is now See Also, "Custom" is now Data. The Info inspectors now include the Annotations & Reminders inspector. Reminders now launch DEVONthink one minute before an alarm is set so you no longer need to keep it running all the time. Also, the alarms now include Send Email with Item Link and a new Send Email with Attachment, allowing you to email the document directly. You can edit the outline in the Content > Table of Contents inspector. For text-based documents, e.g., rich text, moving sections in the inspector moves the document contents as well. When you use the Data > New > With Clipboard command, it more intelligently creates a format appropriate to the type of data on the clipboard, e.g., a Markdown document when it detects Markdown content. We reorganized the Settings panes to keep similar functions and concepts together. This reorganization has produced some new panes, e.g., the Files > Tags settings, as well as many updates to others, like setting label colors in the General > Labels view. You can assign colors to groups via the Generic inspector or Info popover. You can modify file dates and more types of custom metadata, e.g., currency, via smart rules and batch processing, including using AI suggested values. When the Verify & Repair Database command finds errors, they are now shown in a more informative window. When relaunching after a crash or force quit, DEVONthink will attempt to resolve errors it can. We have modernized and improved the AppleScript support. It comes with better JXA support, a new dictionary with code examples, new commands, properties, and parameters, and optimizations greatly improving the performance of filtering clauses, e.g., `whose` and `where`. We've also made many subtle cosmetic changes to DEVONthink including updating many icons, like property icons, special group icons like Contacts, and updated toolbar icons. Pro — Email handling now uses AppleScript and shows more accurate mailbox structures which also load more quickly in the Import > Emails sidebar. It also shows unread email counts per-mailbox, similar to Apple Mail. Pro — The rewritten File > Import > References from Bookends command uses Bookend's improved AppleScript support and pulls in more information. Server — We replaced the web interface with a rewritten, much more modern version, new login page, support for displaying more file formats, handling more data, and more robust interaction with DEVONthink. Server — In the Server > Users settings, logged in users have an indicator next to their username. You can also set a Session Expiration to automatically log out idle users. Sync — The approximate size of an encrypted database is now included in the sync data and used as the default size when importing the database on another Mac.
