Review
It won't wow, but it works. Acute Softwares Diary is a reliable virtual diary and scheduling application that includes all the necessary features for keeping track of contacts, appointments, and deadlines. A robust search function allows sifting through records by date, text entry, or category. The interface is clean and easy to manage, and most functions are one-click buttons on the main page. To be really great, however, Acute could have added a few more features competitors often include. Entries have no password protection, and you can't add pictures or other files. That said, everything about this program works well. If you can live with the price without those extra features, give this diary a whirl.
