Hello, I'm Evan. I write about tech from my perspective – that of the average tech geek, sometimes with my lawyer glasses on. You can also find me on Twitter and at my real-life job as a lawyer.    MORE ABOUT ME.

I talk DEVONthink on the Apps in Law Podcast

I recently had the pleasure of being on the Apps in Law podcast with Brett Burney, where Brett and I talked about my love of DEVONthink and DEVONthink to Go, and how I use DEVONthink in my law practice.

If you’re a lawyer and are at all tech-savvy, I highly recommend subscribing to the Apps in Law podcast. In each episode, Brett welcomes a guest to discuss an app he or she uses in a legal setting. I’ve not only learned of some apps, but have been able to reexamine my use of apps I already use. On top of it, Brett is an engaging host and makes for an entertaining listen.

Me, learning that some people allow every single app to give them audible notifications: “Dad, the notifications on your iPad have been chirping nonstop all morning.”
Dad: “Oh, sorry. I’ll go put it under my pillow.”
There’s work to be done here.


Add a Folder to the Sidebar in DEVONthink for Easy Access →

Jim Neumann, for the DEVONtechnologies blog:

Drag this folder to the Favorites section of DEVONthink’s sidebar. This will give you quick access to the group.

The post at the link talks about how to use DEVONthink as a “read it later” service, but that’s not what caught my eye. I had no idea you could add folders to the Favorites section of the sidebar. You can do it by either dragging a folder onto the word “Favorites” in the sidebar (I couldn’t drag it directly to the spot I wanted among my favorites – it went to the bottom automatically), or by right-clicking on a folder/group, and choosing “Add to Favorites.” I still learn something new about DEVONthink almost every week, and I’ve been using the program for several years now.


When using a VPN, Google often asks you to select all street signs in several photos to prove you are human. This is really stressful. Do you select just the actual main part of the signs? Or the posts, too? I ended up selecting DuckDuckGo instead.


Me: Oh no, I have to rework an upcoming presentation on automation to mention Shortcuts.

Also me: Hey, cool, I get to install the iOS 12 beta to learn about Shortcuts!!
