Here it is, the first feature release for DEVONthink 4 — DEVONthink 4.1 Europa* — with new, flexible generative AI integrations, a new scripting assistant, enhanced AI image editing capabilities, and support for Cornell University’s excellent arXiv service.
Choose from a much wider range of server-based AI models via OpenRouter or by connecting to just any OpenAI-compatible provider. Integrate models from, e.g., Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, xAI, Baidu, Moonshot AI, Qwen, and more. In addition, DEVONthink Europa adds native support for Claude 4.1 Opus, Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite, OpenAI GPT-5, Google Imagen 4, and the latest models by Mistral. Connect to your institution’s Ollama installation with a new configuration option.
To further automate your work, describe your task to the the AI-powered Script Assistant. It generates AppleScript and JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripts and even corrects common scripting issues. Edit images, both generated or dropped in from other sources, with prompts using common AI image generation models. As generative AI is notoriously bad at maths, the Chat and other AI-assisted functions now support mathematical functions and common constants, all calculated locally. If you’re working in academia, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) gets direct access to the huge document collection on arXiv.
In addition, DEVONthink 4.1 Europa comes with a new Quick Look extension for previewing Spotlight results on macOS Sequoia and later, and more responsive editing of especially larger Markdown documents. It also updates and sorts lists and empties the trash significantly faster.

*) This version is named after Europa, Jupiter’s fourth-largest moon. It is a captivating world encased in an icy shell that hides a global subsurface ocean, one of the most promising locations for extraterrestrial life in our solar system. Discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei, its name, rooted in Greek mythology, reflects its enduring allure as a symbol of curiosity and the unknown.
