Desktop-Reminder

Desktop-Reminder is a FREEWARE task planner for Windows to manage your tasks and other to-dos’ in an easy way. It can start with Windows and list all tasks, which are urgent for the current day. For a task with time of day defined a corresponding alarm message will be shown, when the time comes.

There are two main advantages of using Desktop-Reminder instead of other task planners:

1. Desktop-Reminder can notify you even few months earlier about your task. In such a way you are able to quit every long-term contract (e.g. contract cellular phone) right on time.
2. There is no need to define time of day for a task or annoying start/end task duration - who cares at what time to congratulate grandma on her birthday or how long should the congratulation last? This makes using of Desktop-Reminder simple.

However if you define the time of day for the task, Desktop-Reminder can notify you adequately earlier (in the range of one minute to few hours) with an alarm message about your task. This way you won't miss your favorite TV-program, your pizza won't get burned and you won’t bid too late on eBay.


Benefits for inexperienced users:

• Easy task planner in reliable MS Office 2010 style
• No need to define the exact time of day or from/to, start/end duration for a task
• 12 month calendar including calendar weeks
• Date Navigator with bold dates for existing tasks 
• "High Contrast" user interface theme for better accessibility
• Time formatting and first day of week, regarding Windows culture and region settings
• Easy install/uninstall

Functions for advanced users:

• Yearly, monthly, weekly or daily task repeating (e.g. on 1st of January, or every 2nd Saturday in month, or simply on Fridays)
• Alarm message for any task with defined time of day (e.g. tomorrow at 15:45 make a bid on eBay)
• Different task categories (e.g. Business, Birthday, Anniversary...)
• Task-notification up to few months ahead
• 30 built-in user interface themes

Desktop-Reminder is FREEWARE – you can use this task planner for free, as long as you wish, regardless of commercial or private purposes.

If Desktop-Reminder FREE is not enough, you can always upgrade it to Desktop-Reminder PRO, which has a powerful calendar scheduler, task printer, custom sound profiles and support for task grouping.
