DayBook

Keeping track of things is one thing, but keeping track of time can help you conquer great events. With so many activities that need to be done, time seems to run out pretty quick, unless properly managed. Luckily, there are tons of specialized applications like DayBook that want to help in this regard, with options for notes, reminders, and more.

On launch, the main window shows up, with most of the space taken up by what seems to look like an open book, with pages cleverly structure so you can easily view and create events, take notes, and add tasks. An additional panel lets you easily check out the current month, and navigate to past or future days.

In case the default visual style or color set doesn’t suit your style, you’re free to access the settings menu in order to fully configure aesthetics. However, the main attraction are creation options, which slightly differ, depending on the type of event you want to add.

A new window shows up when initiated, with general requirement fields for subject location, as well as schedule options for start and end time. Be careful though, because if an event is set to take up the entire day, no other can be added on that particular date. Among others, you can set reminders with custom audio alerts, and even have an application launched when time is due.

The default view shows a table with hour structure of the current day. This can be changed to show several hours, or the whole month. What’s more, tasks can be dragged around to easily change hour. There’s also the possibility to take notes by simply filling in corresponding text fields. If you want to take a task sheet with you, the report builder can be entitled to this job.

Bottom line is that you can accomplish many great things by managing the little time you have, and it’s best done in an environment that’s easy to understand and work with, just like DayBook. Customization options make it possible to bend it according to your style, while the variety of options, and the simplicity in which they’re handled, makes it worth the time and effort.
