So for me, devonthink has become my long-term stable knowledge and information manager.
Thebrain pro full#
I think that’s one of the first things you need to let go of to take full advantage of the brain - any perfectionist or obsessive qualities because thebrain (I think) works best if you let it evolve a little more naturally rather than spend endless hours trying to set it up “perfectly”. Now this i consider a problem with me (lol) rather than the software because the instant search and extended search is very good so I wouldn’t “lose” documents and if the document or thought you added is important - it would likely be in an area of the brain you go to often and so would get tidied up as you go anyway. I also like things very organised and when adding thoughts or files to thebrain it never felt complete - how I wanted to link or tag or what not, and I was worried information I was putting into the brain was being dropped into a bottomless pit. I used one brain for everything and it became too unwieldily. The main reason I switched to devonthink was I struggling to use thebrain.
I also like the conventional folder structure I can set up in devonthink (but with the bonus of being able to replicate). Devonthink I love the search function and that attachments can mostly be viewed from within the program. I absolutely love the visuals of thebrain and I find navigating it a pleasure. My workflow between the 2 programs is still sketchy as I try (perhaps in vain) to differentiate my use between them rather than doubling up and repeating the work in both programs. Well I’m a recent convert to devonthink who has used thebrain for years and will probably continue to do so.
