Description
Are you tired of forgetting about important events or appointments? Are your office cubicle walls richly decorated with sticky notes, yet you're so busy working you forget to look at them? DtNotes (that is, desktop notes) is a small, handy application that allows computer users to place electronic sticky notes on their computer monitors. All notes can be color-coded, their size and location are individually adjustable, and an unlimited number of notes can be displayed simultaneously. The notes come with a task scheduler, a reminder, and alarm options. At a time you set, a certain application can be launched or a sound alarm will be triggered, making sure you don't forget anything. There also are note archives, automatic backups, and note import/export options. The program note list manager can be used as a to-do list.
Version 3.2 adds flexible printing options, font selection, and a multilanguage interface.
Review
This program lacks fancy features but nevertheless offers a simple, efficient method for setting reminders. At first glance, DtNotes' interface might look a bit more confusing than it actually is, especially since the application's main window is littered with tiny icons. However, you can get started creating a reminder simply by clicking the Note menu item. The program provides several categories for classifying notes, including those for meetings and mission-critical items. Notes can be pinned directly to your desktop, and you can change the color and transparencies of the reminders, as well as the font style and size. Alternatively, DtNotes will pop up a message when your scheduled event approaches, and it can play WAV files as alerts. If you need to look back at past events, the app lets you search archived and deleted reminders. Multitaskers who don't want to get bogged down with an extensive time-management app might give DtNotes a go.
