## What is DEVONthink To Go 3?

If you're serious about working on iOS, DEVONthink To Go is your document repository when you're not at your Mac. Collect, organize, edit, and annotate. Automate with Shortcuts. Keep your document collection always in sync between your Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Privately and securely.

DEVONthink To Go lets you take your important documents with you on your iPad or iPhone. Browse PDFs, notes, images, bookmarks, and just about any file type, neatly organized into databases and groups. View many types of them without opening them in another app.

Edit texts, Markdown files, or rich text documents, or open files in other apps if the built-in editing capabilities are not sufficient. Read web pages as if they were local documents.

Clip data from web pages or just any iOS app through the Share menu. DEVONthink To Go is also deeply integrated into the Files app so that your databases appear like a local file system to other apps. Save files, via Files and iOS’ file provider mechanism, directly to DEVONthink To Go. Use drag-and-drop both inside the app as well as with other apps.

Like DEVONthink for Mac, DEVONthink To Go offers many ways to organize your document collection. Sort documents into groups, add them to more than one group at a time without duplicating them, or add tags. Flag items, mark them as unread, or give them a star rating. Predefined smart groups show you, e.g., all your flagged or unread documents. Find what you’re looking for with fast full-text search.

Annotate PDFs with all common tools and annotation types. Rearrange pages, rotate or delete them. Run scans, PDFs or images, through the built-in, on-device text recognition (OCR) to make them searchable. Add links to your documents to all apps that take web addresses, e.g. OmniFocus or Apple Notes, or export your documents in their original file formats to the Files app and all other apps that support it.

DEVONthink To Go is best used with DEVONthink for Mac and on multiple devices. Synchronize your databases securely and privately over the local network or through a cloud service of your choice. You decide what data is synced, when, and where. Strong encryption makes sure that your data belongs to you, not to your service provider or us.

Shortcuts lets you automate repetitive tasks without becoming a programmer. Use DEVONthink To Go’s Shortcuts actions to integrate it with other apps. Set up workflows with all the steps from creating new documents to reorganizing your databases along rules you set up.

### 4/5 — Linux Version

*2026-04-12, version 3.8.16*

Would be an exceptional addition to an exceptional app.

Thank you for your attention to this desire.

### 5/5 — Mac’s Most Powerful and Fascinating APP!

*2026-03-05, version 3.8.16*

DEVONthink is an app that can organize all the information you care about. It is a database of your documents (text, rich text, PDF, images, and many more types). You can use the hierachical groups and sub-groups, but is has aliases (duplicates) and copies (replicates) of documents, incredible search methods, favorites, reading lists, and much, more. I have been using it for 2 years, learned some of the features, and find it as one of my main app. It encompasses of the features of Notes, for example. AWESOME!

### 4/5 — ****- OK but :::

*2025-12-15, version 3.8.14*

[0:] In a Formatted Note, I have a 2 rows & 3 colums table. Then ::: 
[1:] I tap "Edit" at top of screen ( next to the note's name ), 
→ [2:] having the text cursor in the table, I tap the top-of-screen, rightmost-but-two icon (or button) with the "Table" option in its dropdown, and tap "Table" indeed, 
→ [3:] in the Table popup, we tap "+" to add a row, and [4:] DevonThink To Go 🟠~crashes out~.

### 5/5 — This app is most underrated app in ios and mac.

*2025-11-28, version 3.8.14*

Really hope this version continues.

### 5/5 — Sync is fantastic on 3.8.13

*2025-11-14, version 3.8.13*

I have used DevonThink To Go on my mobile devices, together with DevonThink Pro Office on two different Macs, for several years now.  I have thousands of PDFs in a handful of databases.  Synchronization of databases across various platforms has always worked but sometimes required a bit of babysitting or coaxing.  With the latest versions, on latest iOS/macOS, the need for that is gone.  Synchronization of incremental changes happens when I need it without further action, and is nearly instant.

### 4/5 — Good app Lazy Dev

*2025-11-14, version 3.8.13*

What does it say about the app when they don’t even bother to update the icon for iOS 26 or implement and features like shortcuts for the lock screen or Siri short cuts. Seems like somebody worked really hard on this app and then completely dropped it.

### 5/5 — The Best

*2025-11-08, version 3.8.13*

Devonthink is the best document management tool out there.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2025-11-08, version 3.8.13*

It’s great but maybe two suggestions 
1. The Markdown export to pdf feature only allow one page. This is difficult to share to others for viewing. Would be better if it supports exporting pdf of multiple pages.
2. Please support Liquid Glass. If difficult please make the icon adapt for Liquid Glass at least. It’s too outstanding now, feels like an app without maintenance

### 5/5 — Fix the icon

*2025-10-24, version 3.8.13*

Please fix the dark mode icon

### 5/5 — Perfekt

*2025-10-21, version 3.8.12*

Ablage für alles, scheint e2ee zu sein, nachdem anfänglich der iCloud-Sync nicht zuverlässig funktionierte, habe ich dieses auf WebDAV MagentaCloud umgestellt, welches im Grunde genommen hervorragend funktioniert, Danke für diese extrem gute App!
