So why pay extra for a read-it-later service for save and search capability when you get an even more powerful search with DEVONthink (for those of us that already own the tool). DEVONthink and DEVONthink To Go for iOS has a very powerful search engine with artificial intelligence so that the most likely content to fill your need is listed at the top of the search results list. Then many months later I will need to do something related to “that article I read a while back” and I have no way to find it. Sometimes it takes me a month or two to find enough time to work through my read-it-later list, but eventually I do. In the case of Pocket, it will cost you $4.99 a month or $44.99 a year to keep a permanent library of saved articles and be able to search the content of those articles. Basic features with these services are free, but if you want more advanced features like “search” you have to pay. That is where a “read-it-later” service like Pocket or Instapaper comes in. So when you see something you want to dive into later when you have a bit more time… you have to put it somewhere. The problem that results from this news on-the-go scenario is that you aren’t always in a position to sit and read a lengthy article. First off, why save articles to begin with? In today’s world we end up getting news for a lot of different sources (websites, Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds, etc…) and we consume that news EVERYWHERE. I covered this some in my original review piece on DEVONthink, but I’ll walk you through why saving articles is handy. But I have found a new way to automate sending articles from the web to both a read-it-later service like Pocket or Instapaper and also to DEVONthink.

This may come as a shock, but free tools and services don’t seem to last long, and this HTML to PDF web API in particular bit the farm (though IFTTT is still alive and well). If you aren’t familiar with DEVONthink, I recommend you go back and read my original review.īack when I wrote that article I was using a web-based automation service called “If This Then That” (IFTTT) in combination with a free HTML to PDF web API. One of the uses I wrote about in that article was using DEVONthink (in parallel with a service like Pocket) to save articles to read and reference later. Two and a half years ago (I can’t believe it’s been that long) I wrote a product review here on GeekDad about a tool called DEVONthink. Use the power of iOS automation to easily save articles into DEVONthink to take advantage of its impressive search capability (Image from and Skip Owens)
