The best of all softwares (in my opinion) at holding documents and managing your files.
Scrivener and devonthink pro pro#
DEVONthink Pro (Mac only): Databasing software juggernaut.However, each one is unbeatable in its core features. Each one has its own strengths and weaknesses. These are my softwares: DEVONthink Pro, Zotero, Evernote, and Scrivener. My intentions are simple enough: I hope to give you a look at what I do, how I manage my software, and how, even though I use several different softwares, I save time and braincells by making my work a digital flow (see what I did there?). Through this series of blog posts I intend to explain what my digital workflow is and how it works for me. I use various softwares now, and for various reasons. Now, that being said, a digital workflow can become troublesome if you don’t learn your software. After a lot of digging and searching, I finally decided on a digital workflow not because I had found the best software, but because I realized that not all software will do what you want and you need to make it work how you want. This, I think, was the overwhelming part. Always looking for something better, I have constantly sought out the newest thing to help me manage my references, my PDFs, and academic life.


Indeed, it is overwhelming to think about all the softwares I have used up to this point. The title of this post-my very first-suggests that one PhD student uses so much software in his digital workflow that it almost seems unproductive.
