Take Control Books sent an email announcing an update for their DT3 book. Included this text in the email:
It’s the last update we’ll be making to this book, but later in 2025 we plan to release a new book on DEVONthink 4!
So it looks like a new version is coming out this year.

It hasn’t been linked to on the site yet.
Hi all — I built istefox-dt-mcp, a connector that exposes DEVONthink 4 to any MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Cline, ...). Everything runs locally, nothing leaves your Mac.

Since today Devon Technologies shows following animation while visiting the site.
Does this mean they are rolling out Version 4 of DevonThink?
Just in case anyone is interested in knowing this—a few moments ago I purchased Devonthink 3 and Devonthink To Go! This is after more than a decade with Evernote and after two years of struggling with Evernote. I looked at a variety of alternatives, but DT came out on top. Thanks to everyone here who made useful posts and to those who answered my questions.
If you have any suggestions for a newbie feel free.
New version for iOs devices!

This is my first report after running the 4.0 Beta.
If all that was new was the addition of being able to have different AI’s in with my materials, it would be more than sufficient. I’m absolutely loving that.
Otherwise it is solid and running steady.
I would suggest anybody upgrading, if you can’t connect to your devices on DTG and are doing network syncs, just remembered to give the beta 4.0 access to the network. One small little thing that took me a few hours to figure out.
This remains one of my most favorite programs. And I still can’t figure out how to use anywhere near all that I can. It is so mature and developed it’s not even funny.

I installed DT4 and apart from the obvious improvements of the software I was very disappointed: I was hoping for a modernization of the graphics that instead remained old and without appeal. It's a real missed opportunity. We will have to wait another 6 years to have something more modern.
The new flexible and modern license model created by DEVONthink is genuinely fascinating. Though, as far as I understand, a pure subscription model would feel more decent.

Generally speaking, a feature-based subscription model, often considered healthy and motivating for both company and users, typically means renewal fees cover new features, while bug fixes and basic compatibility with system updates remain included within the original purchase.
However, the statement “where you still can use the applicati
kouroshdini.comI hope this is okay to post here. It might help some users of the Standard version who are just getting into the app, like me. This is a very simple solution to not having the OCR feature from the Pro version.
Money being what it is and the changes to the update policy, last week I bought the Standard version of DEVONthink 4 rather than the Pro version. I hope to upgrade to Pro eventually - but time will tell. My needs are pretty limited and I don't really need Pro yet, but I want it. You know how it is.
DEVONthink 4, so far, is a really awesome app. I had looked at several other apps before purchasing this one and I have no buyer's remorse. I'm in the process of buildin
