Personal information managers (also known as PIMs) are exhaustive applications that allow users to organize, sort, catalog, explore and access various types of information, ranging from friends' phone numbers and business partner's contact address, to diary entries and email archives.
Besides keep data organized, PIMs can also serve as event reminders that will display notifications whenever a deadline, birthday or appointment will take place.
Since they contain private data, PIMs also come in portable versions, and they are meant to ensure privacy and files' security.
When users prefer the desktop editions, they will have the possibility to encrypt the data, using a strong password or passkey.
