Reminder Xpert

With the variety of activities one can perform in a single day, let alone a large period, time becomes more and more of a concern. As a consequence, we forget a lot of important events or tasks. Luckily, computers can be equipped with just about anything to help us, even if it’s just something to remember so we don’t have to, just like it’s the case with Reminder Xpert.

When it comes to the visual layer, the application isn’t packed with any shiny elements, but neither is it too simple to look outdated. The resizable main window makes it easy to adjust the large space where events and tasks are displayed, while the upper toolbar only holds a few, intuitive buttons.

There are three major areas the application takes care of, namely events, tasks, and alarms. If you happen to be living in the USA or Canada, yearly major events are imported by default, with reminders set in case you got more important things to remember, but if not, you need to add them if you wish, or simply remove the ones that don’t apply to you.

The creation process of any of the elements takes you through two, similar, easy steps. The first is used to define the event, task, or alarm, such as writing the name and specifying the date, while the second step always refers to scheduling. As such, every item you create can be set to alert you at a given, or repetitive time.

The tools menu lets you take advantage of a built-in stopwatch, countdown timer, as well as a date calculator. When not in use, the application quietly sits in the system tray and displays notifications either through balloon pop-ups, flashing the icon, or bringing up the alerts window.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Reminder Xpert is a reliable little assistant that fits well both on home and work computers. Its simplicity quickly lets you get the hang of it, while still managing to offer a decent variety of tasks, events, and alarms to add, remembering a lot of things so you can focus on more important activities.
