Oh, my fault…it can actually a library folder (alias)—and, the notes could be RTF. this is interesting.

It seems that Keep It can only handle one library? In Together there can be multiple libraries.

When I first switched from Windows to Mac, there was a handful of apps that seemed to do similar things: Mori, Together, and DevonThink. There were others (and I can’t remember all the names), but it seemed to me that Mori was the most popular of the lot. Hog Bay Software sold off Mori to another company (who did nothing with it and let it die).
With Ulysses going to subscription-ware (I only subscribe to software when I cannot live without the app), perhaps interest will increase. What I DON’T like about DevonThink is that I never can seem to figure out how to sync it and where the hell my files are.

Off topic, but these are simple questions to answer by DEVONthink’s documentation, blog, forum, and very helpful support staff. Generally, files are stored in databases—without any modifications to the documents—and which can be exported anytime you wish. Or they can be indexed into databases and remain sitting in plain sight in your file system. The DEVONthink owners and customers can help you get started with DEVONthink Sync if you feel like trying again. It does *not* use iCloud—which IMO is a very good thing to avoid for database syncing, from a reliability perspective. Keep It relies on iCloud for sync—I’ve had recurring failures with that but others haven’t. YMMV.

I love Devonthink for it helps me index them without importing. Indeed, I don’t store even a single file inside the database. All of my files are stored in Finder and indexed.
I, however, now discovered that the index system in Keep It has a slight edge over the index system of Devonthink.
- If I create a note inside an indexed folder in Devonthink, the created note is stored in the local database by default. I have tell Devonthink explicitly to move it to the Finder folder. I have to do this process again and again if I am writing notes using Devonthink’s Sorter.
In Keep It, I don’t have to. What I write inside Keep It is available in the Finder folder in real time. I like this. Indeed, I open the same file with Text Edit and Keep it; edit it side by side; there is no conflict at all (so far as I am hitting CMD+s on the Text Edit side).
