“Comprehensive task and appointment manager”

DayMate is an excellent day planner that helps you get organized in both your business and personal life.

It enables you to create reminders for any kind of event: anniversaries, meetings, personal dates and so on, including system tasks like turning the PC off or launching a given application. Each reminder has its own color code and can be set to warn you with a pop-up window, a sound or even by sending you an e-mail message.

If you have ever used Microsoft Outlook, you'll have noticed that DayMate's interface is very similar to Outlook's calendar. In any case, you'll find it extremely easy to use. The only thing I missed is the possibility to create new categories for events but, otherwise, DayMate may the planner you're looking for.

DayMate is a versatile intuitive day planner. This profesionally developed and well designed application allows to create and schedule reminders than can pop up messages with optional sound effects; start applications or open documents; and shut down, reboot, or power down your system. DayMate can also check for new e-mail, dial phone numbers, synchronize system time via the Internet, send messages, and open a specified Web sites. You can create single or recurring events, color-code different item types, set reminders for upcoming events, and more. A drag and drop feature allows you to easily reschedule an event or change its duration.

DayMate allows you to view all your events in a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly overview and get a quick look at the events of a single day in any calendar view. In addition, you can display a stay-on-top clock, as well as have the program chime or speak the hour, half hour, and quarter hour.

DayMate runs in the background, sits in the system tray, and makes it nearly impossible to forget birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, appointments, meetings, and other important events.
