![]() rtfd being the most generic and most widely supported. Rich text, especially rich text with attachments, is not a well-supported file format, with. Because of that I don’t really know much about rich-text editing on Mac or iOS. I typically work either in a full-blown word processor (Pages or Word) due to the requirements of my occupation (academia), or plaintext/markdown. I almost never work in rich text (.rtf/.rtfd files) on any platform. Any external application that can bring up the Document Provider (the little version fo the Files App that opens up in some applications like Kodex or PDF Viewer, or PDF Expert, or 1Writer, or iAWriter among others) can open content from DEVONthink “in place” – in other words no round-tripping required.Īs for the core question in your post, what you are looking for is a rich text editor (specifically one that supports attachments such as. You should be aware that DEVONthink To Go is also a Location visible in the Files app on iOS. This has made the process of using external editors completely reasonable What are the external editors that you use and does anyone think they know of a good workflow that may fit my needs - someone looking for the basic capabilities of the Evernote editor all in one place?Īnd have found the ability to “open in” for round-tripping on iOS. ![]() These do seem like overkill for the type of notes that I am trying to take, and I don’t especially like the look of my basic notes in Pages as they end up being separated by pages.Īll in all, I am just looking for some advice. Interestingly, I have found that I am able to accomplish most of these things with more robust external programs like Pages and Numbers. I also do not know how to highlight text. I had been considering markdown as I have found many recommendations in these forums on external apps that work well for “round tripping” (iawriter, 1writer, editorial, etc.) Markdown seems to be missing some key features that I like to use such as easily inserting and annotating images. Ideally, I would like to be able to use the same note format so that I can edit the same note on both macOS or iOS. A formatted note won’t allow me to make use of Bean and other Rich Text Editors that I know of. I know you can add images in DTTG from the camera roll with a long press and select the photo icon, but this requires the use of a formatted note. None of these options seem to get me the full list mentioned above which I could do in the Evernote iOS editor, though. So far, for iOS, I have tried using the DTTG2 editor and iawriter and Editorial.

I also liked the ability of Bean to add/delete column rows quickly with right click or keyboard shortcuts (something I wasn’t able to do in TextEdit). So far, I have been using the rich text format with Bean as an editor as it seemed to offer me all the above tools accesible by keyboard shortcut. On macOS side, I am looking for a way to be able to do the following: To this end, I am seeking the advice of the DEVONthink community to see what you use. This has made the process of using external editors completely reasonable, but I am looking for the right combination that will allow me to do all the core things I used to do in Evernote. I am already making use of the “open with” keyboard shortcut on macOS and have found the ability to “open in” for round-tripping on iOS. I know that this type of question has been asked many times on this forum before, but I have yet to find a solution that covered all the things I am trying to do that I used to do in Evernote. I feel like I am missing some basic note editor abilities in the built-in DEVONthink editors (especially in iOS) that I used to have in Evernote, though. I recently migrated all my previous notes (about 6,000) from Evernote, which was my previous preferred method of storing my digital brain. ![]() I am new DEVONthink and very much liking so far! DEVONthink’s ability to handle all file types, search, smart groups, and AI abilities have more than exceeded my expectations.
