So I am not here looking for other monolithic programs to replace DevonThink. That is what keeps me away from EverNote and makes me skeptical about EagleFiler. No need to completely replace, and completely re-learn, a new, monolithic application like DevonThink. KM easily moves text into and out of any editor.Įxample 2: If a module dies - doesn't keep up with new releases of OSX - just find a new, fresh program and plug it in. many choices.įor me, the simple program, Bean, is just enough. Instead of spending brain cycles to learn one, monolithic program, I'd rather use a few, small, modules, each dedicated to a specific purpose, with workflows between modules handled by KM and (maybe) KM Control.Įxample 1: Modular approach can select any text editor: nvAlt or Ulysses or Scrivener. Instead of that, I'm seeking a "modular" approach that would be simpler, easier to learn, very easy to modify, and more stable. at first.īut after the honeymoon was over, it appeared to be a huge and convoluted program, built on software design concepts 10-15 years old. I downloaded EagleFiler trial and printed out some documentation to read.Īt first, DevonThink looked like a dream come true. Thank you, is the sort of opinion I'm wanting. I actually already have the clipping function finished, and just need to develop the send to EN Mac part. Local NB are NEVER sync’d or uploaded to the EN Cloud (or anywhere).Īlthough I use the EN Web Clipper a lot, I am working on a KM Macro/script to clip a web page (all or part), and then send directly to my EN Mac app without using the Internet. Then do the install to perform the update.įor me, one of the most compelling features of Evernote is its ability to sync all of my notes across all of my Macs, iPhone, and IPad.īut if you don’t need or want that, you can setup EN Mac on one Mac to use ONLY Local Notebooks (Local NB). Technically, you could close the EN Mac app, make an Internet connection, download the update, and then disconnect.You want to update the EN Mac to a new version.you want to download (sync) any EN Web Clipper Notes.After you initially log in the EN Mac, if you stay logged in, then you don’t need Internet access, unless You have to create an Evernote account to initially download, install, and log in to the EN Mac app, but no Notes yet. No, but after initial setup, you don’t need an internet connection. Just for reference, here are my most used Evernote Macros and ScriptsĬan Evernote be used without any account, without any Internet connection?(I don’t sync to other devices.) I'd be glad to answer any questions you may have. My suggestion is before you reinvent the wheel, reconsider Evernote. There is an AppleScript available for copying DT notes to Evernote.I have other KM Macros and AppleScript not posted - I need to update.I have posted many Evernote Macros here.But I have substantial augmentation of Evernote using AppleScript and KM.The Evernote Search, and Spotlight Search are excellent.I make great use of Evernote many times a day. I have a KM macro with JavaScript that selects just the current post or code block, and then calls the EN Clipper.EN Clipper 6.10 for Chrome (and Safari in a week or so) was just released a few days ago.I'm still running 6.9.2 for another week or so.EN Mac is now on Ver 6.10 (just released about a week ago). ![]() When was the last time you gave Evernote a serious test/review? Prefer to build custom with KM + other apps. My thinking on this topic has been motivated and encouraged in part by an article by Here not all is perfection, but the tone is highly positive about the app.īut over there, post after post full of confusion and aggravation.Įasy to learn, easy to maintain, easy to repair: To see one perspective on the problem, compare this forum to the DevonThink forum. Instead, I’m wondering about using KM + other apps to do 70% of DevonThink with far less aggravation. ![]() At first I thought DevonThink had great potential.īut now, after 6 months of experience, I’ve had enough.
