DEVONthink To Go 4.0 Kepler

New models will always be integrated into the new DEVONthink and DTTG builds. Gemini 3 and Claude Opus 4.5 for example aren’t available just yet, but will come.

Regarding the Liquid Glass aesthetic, have you seen the Neo Network Utility 2.0? That’s our first Mac app that has already adopted Liquid Glass.

Possible Bug.

Mine keeps saying unlicensed. When I click on license it shows I have signed in and have DEVONthink 4.0 pro, but I still get the message that I’m not licensed. Restore purchases does nothing

Edit, nevermind, got it to work. For anyone else, it’s not evident at all, but I clicked on my DEVONthink pro license even though it had a green check mark and it allowed me to register

Not anything that gets around things beyond our control :wink:

OK thanks

I guess the solution is just to have a small DTTG database to share things between DTTG and DT and move things in/out of that database as needed.

That depends on the size of the database, the sync method, the quality of the network, hard-wired vs WiFi, phases of the moon, is Mercury in retrograde, etc. :smiley:

This one probably won’t work so well on iOS :slight_smile:

I’d say, not even remotely.

PS: You may want to look at your Versioning settings, especially your retention setting. I’m guessing you don’t need 12.5GB worth of versions.

What a surprise! Congratulations. It’s snappy and polished, quite nice all around. Well worth the wait!

Agreed

Upgrade of apps and licenses went smoothly here.

The Dtg4 release was all I needed to push me across the line for the full family upgrade. Now I’m tinkering with the DEVONthink 4 and Kepler combo and both a) smiling gleefully at all my new toys, and b) having haunting visions of anti-productivity patterns and rabbit holes I’ll now be tempted to go down :roll_eyes:

Thanks Dt dev team, well done on the releases. Keep doing what you’re doing (no one else is).

A post was split to a new topic: Smart groups not syncing

I have deliberately avoided upgrading to iOS 26 because I’m really not a fan of Liquid Glass. Are there technical reasons why DTTG4 expects iOS26?

Thank you very much for the new licensing model that includes the mobile versions in the Ma license. That’s a nice surprise!

The adaption of Apples Liquid Glass was not a small task. It wasn’t really feasible to adapt the new design while keeping the old one working, let alone looking decent.

Therefore, and since a majority of iOS users does in fact already have iOS 26 installed, we decided to make it the required minimum version.

Also, version 4 supports other OS26-specific features like windows and the menubar on iPadOS.

My tendency to make my phones last as long as I can means I have bumped up against this issue before. Because of Kepler I have learned that my trusty iPhone XR won’t be going to iOS26 so I guess it’s time for a new-to-me phone.
It will be an expensive path to getting that sweet sweet custom metadata on iOS in Kepler but I will get all the ancillary benefits of a newish phone and by the time I’ve gotten around to making the big purchase, everyone here will have run through all the growing pains and installation issues.
Good things come to those who wait, I guess. What’s that? Carpe Diem, you say… and…YOLO, sure… so whatever floats your boat then, maybe?
I still wish I had my iPhone 5S. That was the bees knees for me.

I don’t come here very often so I wasn’t expecting DTTG4 to drop. Then when I installed it (with no preconceptions), I wasn’t expecting my existing DT4 license to work (I mean - wow). And then when I tried it, I wasn’t expecting it to be magnificent. I confess I always found DTTG3’s UI to be, well, a bit weird. A bit clunky. By contrast, DT4 looks amazing. It’s the model iPad app, with every modern convenience you could think of. It’s fast, it’s simpler, and the reworked UX is absolutely miles better (which is even further than kilometres better). A hearty round of applause to the whole team - thank you.

Now… any chance you can find a way to let us choose which side panels stay visible please? :folded_hands: My 13” iPad Pro has roughly the same screen real estate as my 13” MacBook, and I love having the full database tree on screen in DT4. (Only my iPads are on the latest OS as I’m still too apprehensive for the Macs and iPhones, so I can’t comment on the iOS implementation.)

Congratulations on a great release. The care over the spit and polish is obvious and appreciated.

Quick question:

Is there a way to disable a search pop up to appear every time I open a (searched) document…?

I mean I have found the document I need, there is no need to display the pop up with all the search occurrences…

Thanks!

When viewing a document, tap the Document Options button - two horizontal sliders - and disable Open Search Automatically.

Thanks! Is that per document or a global setting..?
