RetroActive by Acquasys is a journal application for Pocket PC that syncs with Outlook Journal and offers multiple features, including full Blogger synchronization. It is a robust and efficient software for keeping records and daily entries.
The software is fully compatible with Microsoft Outlook Journal, ensuring that all fields are available and synchronized. For added convenience, RetroActive can import contacts, appointments, and tasks and convert them into journal entries! Plus, it can also register incoming and outgoing phone calls automatically!
One of the standout features of RetroActive is the powerful filtering options. Users can create filters for any field, save filters for reuse, invert filters, and reorder filter results. The software also enables users to create custom templates for easier data entry and add multiple entries at once as they come to mind.
The software provides even more customization with the option of creating custom types in addition to those available in Outlook and custom categories while supporting multiple categories per entry. Furthermore, RetroActive can automatically set the entry duration using a timer that even works in stand-by mode and comes equipped with activity tracking fields with basic cost calculation.
Users will also appreciate that journal files are highly compressed to save valuable memory on their device. Additionally, journal files are encrypted and password-protected for high security, ensuring that nobody but the user can access their entries. Multiple journals syncing with multiple computers and storage card support is also available with RetroActive.
Lastly, RetroActive comes with journal cleaning that removes old or unimportant entries and large attachments automatically, ensuring that the user's journal file stays clean. With its many features, RetroActive is a truly powerful journal and diary application that is perfect for both personal and professional use.
