Agendus is a Palm/Windows personal information manager. It has been published for the past decade by French company Iambic, and its version 8 was just released. Agendus is one of the best date book / scheduler applications you can find, and one of the best-kept secrets in palm OS computing. It did receive a couple of awards a couple of years ago, but considering its capabilities, it is somewhat underexposed. Well, maybe this is a little step towards correcting that.
Agendus is my current favorite Palm OS personal information manager – my date book, my address book, my to-do list, the place where I note the names of music tracks and books I would like to have one day and draft quick notes for my next blog entry. Agendus is about integration: integrating contacts, to-dos and meetings. I have it installed on my Handspring Treo, which is also a cell phone. Agendus also has a desktop companion, so I don’t really need Outlook – I leave that to people who work corporate and have no choice.
Agendus shines in integrating contacts, calendar, and to-dos. It enables me to link contacts to meetings, calls, and tasks, in a variety of views - so my Today page looks like a hyperlink launch pad, showing the essentials, hiding the rest. With Agendus, you can also assign different colors, icons, even photos (!) to items so you can tell what they are at a glance. There are tons of other features, too, and I’ll cover some of those in an upcoming workshop, but the main point is that Agendus has more things where I expect them to be than you-know-who. Then again, your expectations may be different. What do I know? I’m just a fanatical usability expert.
Is Agendus the same as HandyDB 3.0.4?
That's where your link points.
