Download the reminder in Russian for all versions of Windows. Desk organizer: what is it, what organizers are there for PC and smartphone

Effective organization time - current problem for any person, regardless of his employment. This discipline, also known as time management, is devoted to more than one book; numerous courses are regularly held, offering different techniques.

Organizers make their contribution to time planning. In general, speaking about this area software, it should be noted that they serve not only for creating a daily routine, but also for storing data. It is difficult for a person to keep in his head, or in a disordered form, all the necessary information that should be at hand.

This review includes organizing programs of varying complexity. Naturally, in modern realities It is not enough to require traditional functionality from this type of software: a calendar, address book, notebook. No less important aspects are mobility and the ability to synchronize with portable devices. In general, attention will be paid to the following aspects:

• User-friendly interface: an organizer is that type of software where the interface plays out one of the critical roles, especially in terms of access speed necessary functions. Attention will also be paid to hotkeys.
• Tasks and calendar: creation of tasks, to-do lists, categories, subtasks, calendar capabilities when planning events (creating events).
• Reminders and notifications: setting reminders for events (birthdays, dates, etc.), creating sticky notes, notification methods.
• Organizing contacts: address book capabilities, data import/export.
• Sharing: the ability to create projects, tools for teamwork.
• Mobility and synchronization: availability for mobile platforms, integration with online services.
• Safety: setting a password to launch a program, database or individual sections of the organizer; data protection and encryption.
• Other tools: Along the way, the note editor, password manager and other tools that complement the functionality of the organizer will be mentioned.

LeaderTask

According to statistics provided by the developers, LeaderTask is used by employees of well-known organizations - about 1,500 companies. This fact makes us wonder to what extent LeaderTask is an organizer, and how strong it is in project management. Again, among the declared functions, project management is present, which is very interesting.

In the organizer, you can create both tasks and subtasks, and attach notes and subnotes to them. It should be noted that the tree structure of the list is very convenient - thanks to this, navigation in the task list does not cause difficulties. In the properties of a task, you can specify deadlines, assign it to a project, select a category/labels and assign an executor (from the LeaderTask contact list), and attach a file. In addition, in the due date settings, you can set the task repetition mode.

The notes editor is not very functional - despite the fact that this tool is one of the most important in the organizer, the formatting panel perhaps should have been implemented differently.

Notifications are displayed when the status changes or a task is created - in the form of a pop-up window with a sound effect. In the organizer settings you can change appearance, notification sound, specify repetition interval. However, you cannot configure the notification method: say, SMS or email.

The LeaderTask address book is quite traditional in its structure when compared, for example, with Outlook. When adding a new contact, the following fields are filled in: photo, personal information, home address, initials, place of work and others. Communication methods are also indicated - telephone, website, email and messenger. As additional information You can attach notes and files. Contacts can be grouped and assigned several labels at the same time.

Returning to the above. LeaderTask has a useful addition - projects. Projects help to combine several tasks; they can also be used to organize working together with colleagues. Almost all actions with project tasks are available to all participants, except that the customer can change the executor, and the executor can change the status. It is quite possible that not all users will find this toolkit appropriate in their organizer, but at a minimum, collaboration in the organizer is a big plus.

It should be added to the above that LeaderTask synchronizes data with the server. First, in the organizer settings, you need to enter user credentials and also specify the update interval.

LeaderTask is available as programs for Android, iPad, iPhone. In addition to such integral functions as synchronization, working with tasks and contacts, search - in mobile applications There are some nice additions: voice input, working with GPS and others.

The LeaderTask database can be password protected; there is no separate access restriction to sections. Data encryption, although mentioned by the developers, could not be found in the form of any settings. Speaking of disadvantages, there is no hotkey configuration available. This is an omission, since creating new tasks, events, or at least adding contacts to the address book without keyboard “hotkeys” quickly gets boring. And one more negative point - the interface, which consists of three columns, is not very flexible. The “View” menu, unfortunately, does not save the situation.

C-Organizer

The developers describe C-Organizer as personal organizer, however, the description states support for joint network access. The program integrates with web services and has a convenient scheduler, notebook, password manager and other necessary tools.

The C-Organizer interface is strikingly different from LeaderTask, attracting with its compactness and pleasant design. Among the impressive list of available localizations is Russian. The buttons on the toolbar, in the best traditions of desktop applications, are customizable, the columns are hidden, freeing up the workspace; it is possible to switch the menu to Ribbon (ribbon in the style of Office 2007 and higher) In a word, the user will have more than enough for these conveniences.

It is convenient to manage the organizer using hotkeys assigned to main commands C-Organizer. There are tooltips, but there is no separate section with parameters that can be changed, just as there are no global keyboard shortcuts.

When creating new task, in the properties you can set priority, repeatability, add a category, percentage of completion and enable a reminder. The “Description” tab contains a note editor containing all the necessary formatting options. You can also attach a file to any task.

When creating a task, the user cannot specify the executor, despite the stated possibility of collaboration over the network. There are no subtasks or subnotes. However, to-dos can be combined into global lists and groups.

In the calendar, similar to tasks, you can create appointments. At the same time, both are at hand. Appointments that last all day are located at the top of the calendar. Events are used to indicate holidays and dates; notifications are also configured for them.

Any entry can be placed on the Desktop (“Posts - Open as sticker”), and an alert can be activated in conjunction with an action (for example, launching an application or rebooting).

The address book capabilities are standard for an organizer, from distinctive features You can note vCard support and template creation. This makes it easy to add contacts to your address book. All contacts can be combined into groups, for example, in order to send messages or email alerts.

In C-Organizer, unlike the previous program in the review, there is no obvious signs project system, however, several users can work with one database at the same time, and several users can edit the same record.

The organizer supports mobile devices, but, alas, the list includes only Pocket PC and Palm (synchronization of calendar, tasks, contacts and notes). However, despite ignoring Android and iOS, the calendar and tasks are synchronized with Google Calendar and Google Tasks, respectively.

C-Organizer supports password protection, encryption. You can deny access (“Tools → Password protection…”) to any section of the organizer. By the way, the organizer is convenient to use as a password manager, with the ability to generate new ones.

AM Notebook

AM Notebook is a classic desktop organizer with four main tools: notes (Notes), tasks (Todo), calendar (Calendar) and address book (Contacts).

The AM Notebook interface supports tabs. It seems like a small addition, but it makes working more comfortable. In the case of AM Notebook, the nuance is as follows: tabs are available only in notes and in the calendar, but also in in this case independently of each other.

You can change the interface language in the settings; Russian localization is available, although with obvious flaws in the translation. For basic commands, there are hints on hot keys; there is no separate menu section with their configuration.

Now let's learn more about creating notes. Obviously, this is one of the main features of AM Notebook, which can be called a notebook with additional functions organizer In addition to working with text, it is possible to create tables (Spreadsheets) with support for formulas/functions, as well as diagrams. The text editor allows you to add tables, images, check spelling (you can connect the Russian language by adding a dictionary in *.dic format from MS Office). The tabular module allows you to work with a limited number of formulas - but this is more than enough for simple calculations. Charts and graphs are available in the PRO version of the program.

Tasks (Todo) are created in “Plans”. In the properties, you can specify a group, priority, set the percentage of completion (the completion scale is displayed in the list of tasks, which is very clear), and set a reminder. Tasks are also combined into groups.

All reminders can be displayed in a single list - it’s convenient to turn off unnecessary reminders without going into each section. There is an alarm clock.

The same tasks (Task) are created in the Calendar, but they have nothing to do with the “Plans” section (due to translation inaccuracies). If the user checks the “Every day” option (localization error, you need: “All day”), the task is moved to the top of the calendar. In general, the functionality of the calendar is very modest, but this drawback is partly compensated by the presence of display modes - by day, week, month, etc.

The address book follows the same minimalism; it does not have the ability to combine contacts into a group or, for example, add a photo. You can enter contact information, indicate contact methods, and add a note. However, the purpose of some fields is unclear - in the “Birthday” tab there are 5 columns for entering a name and the same number of dates.

Alas, despite strengths AM Notebook, there were noticeable shortcomings. Aspects such as data security and privacy are overlooked. To protect personal data, you cannot set a password or encrypt data. As a result, you can rely on the organizer, being confident that the data will not fall into the hands of an attacker.

AM Notebook supports mobile devices; synchronization is not provided. The only way to protect against information loss available in AM Notebook is backup data.

WinOrganizer

WinOrganizer is one of the most functional organizers, designed for both personal and collective use. It includes a scheduler, notebook, address book, and password manager.

The program window is divided into two columns; the contents of the organizer are displayed on the left in the form of a hierarchy. WinOrganizer does not tie the user to a specific structure: any other data type can be nested into one data type, and the nesting can be deeper than two levels.

To view your to-do list, agenda items, and other upcoming events, you can use the Today module. This is a convenient view by day, week, month, with the ability to print and select a template for the report.

Module "Today"

In the properties, when creating a task, an impressive number of options are presented, including advanced notification settings: reminder interval, sound settings, program behavior when the notification period expires, launching an action. Tasks can be sorted by criteria such as priority, status, and assignee.

Alerts are assigned not only to events, but also to WinOrganizer data types, including contacts and passwords.

The address book has a standard set of fields. It should be noted that the fields can be displayed in a single list. Columns in the address book are configured, which is convenient for displaying only the most necessary information about people. Contacts can only be synchronized with PocketPC.

The program contains a password manager. The set of features is standard, including the “Hide password while typing” option and a password generator. In WinOrganizer, by the way, you can restrict access to any document (“Document Properties - Password Protection”).

As already mentioned, several users can work in the organizer at the same time, including jointly editing notes and other entries. The notebook supports import/export to Word and WordPad (RTF), works with tables, images, and has a Russian spelling checker. Synchronization is carried out through the GSDataServer database server.

Diary from Enot

Extremely simple program, in which you cannot create notes, does not have an address book and most of the main components of the organizer, only appointments and reminders are available. Diary from Enot synchronizes with Google Calendar, so this lightweight organizer can be perceived as a lightweight desktop version of the famous service. However, a caveat must be made that Google Calendar provides many more options than this organizer. Here you cannot create several calendars, configure access, publish a schedule on the Internet, not to mention the fact that the web interface provides several convenient calendar display modes. In Diary from Enot, the developers apparently deliberately limited functionality.

The interface is intuitive; to add an appointment or reminder, you need to click on the date and add information in the sidebar that appears, which you can then easily collapse. Days that contain events in the list are marked in bold.

Thus, using a planner is useful only if you want to simplify the organization of events as much as possible: literally - open, add a reminder, minimize the window and do other things. If we talk about the advantages, these include: simple Russian-language interface, free. If we evaluate Diary as a full-fledged organizer, it will be a continuous series of missing functions.

Calendarscope

An organizer designed specifically for planning events, holidays, and memorable dates. The calendar is presented here in several display options - by day, week, month and year. You can also change the gradation of the timeline.

There are only three types of elements - event, recurring event and task. The list of events and tasks can be opened in a separate window (Event list / Tasks in the View menu). The event indicates the location, priority, start/end date, category - one or more. Next to the Priority column, you can set up a context marked with a specific color.

Reminders are available for all types of events, but you cannot set up a separate notification without any association.

To synchronize with the calendar, the developers suggest using their product HandySync. Thanks to this, it is possible to synchronize Calendarscope with Pocket PC, Apple iPhone, Android, RIM Blackberry and other devices. The only “but”: HandySync is also a paid program.

Pivot table

At the present stage of development computer technology many (if not most) users are increasingly refusing to keep various kinds of notes, scheduled tasks, meetings, reminders, passwords or access codes bank cards on paper. It is clear that it is simply impossible to keep such a huge amount of information in your head. Yes, and paper media in lately have become very unreliable, since the possibility of loss or ordinary accidental throwing into the trash cannot be ruled out. And many software developers decided to compensate for all these inconveniences and began to create electronic organizers. Nowadays you can find many programs of this type on the Internet and download them for free. Many software products this kind, being free, is not much different from its paid counterparts. On our website you can download free organizers without registration. The principles used to store the necessary information are practically the same for all programs. However, programs of this type are fundamentally divided into two categories. The first includes stationary and portable versions, which work specifically on computers or mobile devices and are used for storing information, or hard drives, or connected removable devices. The second group includes inpatient and portable versions, which use remote servers to store data. I think everything is clear with the first group. The program is installed on a computer or runs from removable media. Typically, the interface of such applications resembles paper notepads. The difference may only be in design and any additional features. Many data categories are divided into groups. For example, this could be meetings, a to-do list by day or hour, birthdays, a calendar, a storage of personal codes and passwords, and much more. Here the difference between the programs lies only in the imagination of the developers. However, the unifying factor of such applications is, in most cases, the presence of reminders (especially for mobile devices). That is why the user will never miss an important event. However, there is one drawback here. If the program is running on a computer, access can only be obtained from this terminal or via a local network. It is the second group of programs that provides full access to data from any computer connected to the Internet. These programs use remote servers to store information. After registration, the user is allocated some disk space, where, in fact, all information is stored. Moreover, these can be not only notes, but also graphics and multimedia files. Also, synchronization with mobile devices. It seems that this option is more convenient, since data can be accessed from anywhere in the world. Free programs of this type are quite common on the Internet, so downloading them is not a problem. From us you can download the organizer in just two clicks of the mouse. The main thing is to decide which organizer you need to download. In conclusion, I would like to say that it is up to you to choose the option to use for your needs. However, in our opinion, the second option is preferable. Here the only limitation is the volume of allocated disk space on a remote server.

This simple reminder has and simple settings, which can be accessed by clicking on the button at the top right.

In our fast and hectic world, it is very important to do everything in time and not miss a single task. A lot depends on a properly designed daily routine. After all, the main thing is not to forget anything and save such main resources as energy and time.

A desktop organizer (if we talk about computers) or a household organizer will help with this. Let’s take a closer look at what it is and what types there are.

Why is it needed?

Unfortunately, the exact date of invention of the organizer is unknown. This probably happened soon after the appearance of the calendar, because date and event are inseparable concepts. The first ones were notches on sticks (hence the expression “Notches on your nose”). The problem was that such an “organizer” did not contain information about all the tasks that needed to be completed. People often racked their brains trying to remember what the notch was about.

This word comes from English-speaking countries and denotes an object that helps in organizing affairs and events, and reminds of an important date. Initially, it was a notepad or book with a calendar in which all planned events, addresses, contacts and other necessary information. The main purpose is to achieve effective time management in order to complete all planned activities and tasks.

Time management

Time is one of the main values ​​in our life. Its constant lack is one of the causes of stress. Managing time is quite possible thanks to such an assistant as a calendar organizer on your desktop. Successfully managing time is his main task.

This planner is very popular among business people. There are many types of organizers available for use in various areas. All of them are designed to streamline and simplify our lives. In any area, the purpose of a desktop organizer is a clear structuring of tasks or things.

Electronic to-do planner

Electronic planners appeared more than 25 years ago. At first, these gadgets combined the functions of a calculator and a calendar with many obscure functions. With their appearance they puzzled people not familiar with higher mathematics. With the advent mobile phones and portable technology, everything has been simplified; now many electronic devices have a built-in organizer. What's happened electronic organizer, let's take a closer look.

An electronic desktop organizer for Windows or a smartphone is a tool that collects and stores user data with the ability to search for entered information. It monitors necessary events, helps set tasks and monitors their implementation.

You can create a simple organizer with your own hands based on Excel tables- enter phone numbers, important dates and other useful information. But it differs little from paper media. It's just a repository of information. The main function of the organizer, a reminder, is missing in this case. And there is always a risk of forgetting or missing something important. Much more convenient to use special applications for PC or mobile.

Organizers for personal computers

To install a desktop organizer program on your PC, you need to know if it is compatible with your operating system, since not all organizers have multi-platform versions. Basically, they are easy to install and do not require large computer capabilities.

Main functions of the scheduler program:

• calendar;
• address book;
• notebook;
• the ability to link an event to a date;
• planning tasks and monitoring their implementation;
• alarm clock and reminder services;
• working with email.

PC programs

One of the most striking examples of desktop organizing programs is Microsoft Outlook, which, by the way, was originally conceived as an organizing project, and not as an e-mail service. Microsoft Outlook has multifunctional organizer capabilities, but is largely underestimated by users.

EverNote is another organizer program that is available for free download. This is convenient storage and quick access not only to user records, but also to saved sites, answering machine, email, passwords, telephone contacts etc.

TaskPrompt is a free organizer that takes up little space and has great functionality. Its difference is that tasks here are distributed by category and level of urgency - urgent, minute, hourly, daily, and so on - up to annual. The calendar with notes from this organizer can be printed.

Pichugin Organizer - a simple free organizer with user-friendly interface. This is a contact manager, task reminders and stickers for adding tasks. The program can launch pop-up windows while working on the computer to remind you of time and tasks.

This is far from full list existing desktop organizing programs. In addition to free ones, there are many paid versions, the choice is yours.

Mobile versions

Phones or smartphones are more mobile electronic devices compared to a computer and laptop. They also have a planner that can be downloaded as an app. Such assistants are quite diverse and have the ability to select certain functions taking into account the user’s type of activity.

Here are some of them:

1. Microsoft OneNote - still the same Microsoft product, intended for devices on Android based and iOS. Convenient, practical, created for a wide range of users.
2. Any.do - schedules tasks for iOS devices. Tasks can be created both individually and in projects. By shaking your smartphone, you can delete a task and create a new one using voice dialing.
3. Wunderlist is an application for PC and smartphone. Allows you to share lists and notes with colleagues, plan, remind and control tasks. There is a free user version and a version with a subscription fee.
4. LeaderTask is an application for Android and IOS, as well as an online organizer. Besides standard features The organizer perfectly synchronizes tasks, files and contacts between all electronic devices, distributes tasks within the company and filters them.

Online assistants

Technologies do not stand still, and especially Internet technologies. It is not necessary to install the program, it is enough to have access to the Internet - and the organizer will always be at hand. Online planners exist in the form of programs or services. In addition to tasks such as a task list, reminders, calendar and notebook, they may contain email, contact list and project database.

Also very important are the functions of online assistants, such as restricting access to tasks, viewing tasks by employee or business project, synchronizing with Microsoft Outlook, and working on a mobile device.

The following online to-do planners are popular today:

1. Todoist is multi-platform, with simple interface, allows collaboration and is available for email services.
2. YahooCalendar - has a rich interface, it is possible to maintain parallel calendars, expand them, set reminders using SMS and e-mail.
3. GoogleCalendar - you can maintain joint and separate calendars in it. It is possible to synchronize with Microsoft Outlook, integrate from Gmail, support XML formats and iCal, versions for mobile devices are provided.

Household organizers

Such helpers have also been used in everyday life. Sometimes we don’t even suspect that we use an organizer for certain things. After all, it can be an ordinary box or box for orderly storage of things. For example, we never thought that a photo album would become such a photo organizer.

To save time and not waste it searching for something - this is the task of a household organizer, as well as providing this item with the correct storage conditions.

All kinds of covers, boxes, drawers with compartments, hanging pockets - all these types of organizers exist for a variety of household items and small items. These can be tool boxes, boxes with sewing accessories, drawers for linen, shoes and bath accessories, for children's toys and for women's jewelry, and many, many more things. Experts advise using an organizer for any items if there are about a dozen or more of them.

Every thing has its place

To choose an organizer, you need to determine what will be stored in it.

By purchasing a suitable plastic box, divided into several sections, you can store jewelry, threads, small toys, garden seeds, nails and other small items in an organized manner.

For women's cosmetics, a modular box with retractable drawers and a compartment for brushes and applicators is suitable. And for car enthusiasts, you simply need a car organizer that will help you store car care accessories, necessary tool and will keep your car trunk tidy.

For office workers, there is an organizer for storing documents and office supplies. A small stand with several compartments holds items that should always be at hand - pens, pencils, buttons, markers, etc.

Hanging space organizers keep space square footage and order. They can store everything from bathroom items to shoes, clothes and cleaning products.
