A Better Calendar
![]()
We get used to collate the events of our life with a calendar. While appointing some important meeting, we have a look at our organizers and calendars to be sure that we'll be free at that time. A Better Calendar is not too much different form a paper desktop calendar, but it possesses some useful extra features. This program is designed to provide the basic functions of a desktop calendar and scheduler without a lot of distracting and unnecessary features. With A Better Calendar you will be able to keep text and audio notes, schedule daily tasks, duplicate repetitive events and auto cleansing its files. The calendar and schedule can be printed in high quality with any printer, and you can also export your calendars to your web site. But you shouldn't mix up this calendar with PIM (personal information manager), which has such options as keeping addresses or phone numbers, and an opportunity to organize and prioritize tasks. You don't have these possibilities with A Better Calendar, but sometimes the simplicity and availability are what we really need. So, let's take advantage form this simple to use but highly customizable electronic calendar. The interface of this program will remind you visually an identical standard desktop calendar.
You can change the month by clicking on the navigation arrows and change the year by clicking just to the right of the displayed year. Then, select other date navigation options by right-clicking on the date display. Having chosen an appropriate date, by double-clicking on a date, you can open one of the edit windows (notes, schedule or audio).
Along with all these important features, there is a possibility to set the alarm-clock. The alarm dialog lets you set the time, message and status of alarms for the currently open schedule. You reach this screen by double clicking in the "alarm column" on the schedule screen.
It is easy to rescale the calendar and place it anywhere on your desktop. If you shrink the calendar enough, it will hide everything but the dates, so you can save desktop space and still have access to the calendar.
In this way, as you could make sure, A Better Calendar, in spite of its simplicity, possesses all necessary features to be an irreplaceable helper in your daily routine. As the saying goes: "Complicated is easy; simple is difficult."

Very handy tool. I particularly love the ability to set the calender (with daily notes) on the computer desktop so it's the first thing you see when your computer boots up.
