Yi Scheduler

A bit of time management can make the whole difference between a regular day, and a successful one. Planning doesn’t take a lot of time, but helps you achieve more after setting up a few of your own rules. With applications like Yi Scheduler it’s as easy as pressing a few mouse buttons, being alerted when it’s time for a particular event.

One of the main advantage is that you don’t even have to go through a setup process to make it work, which means it can be carried around on a USB flash drive to keep track of your tasks on other computers as well. Registries are not modified, so you don’t have to worry about the integrity of the target PC.

As far as visuals are concerned, the main window is wrapped around a classic window frame, making accommodation a walk in the park for individuals of all levels of experience. Most of the space is where all tasks are displayed, along with relevant info like description, frequency, time, and type.

Adding new items is done in a dedicated panel. Tasks can be of three types, and you can choose whether to simply display a message, receive an audio alert, or run a specific program, but you can’t combine any of them in a single task. You can set repetition frequency, with time span fully customizable.

When done, the application can be minimized to the tray area, and you’re sure to know when time is due, unless you’re away from the computer. Unfortunately, there’s no option to make the application run with Windows, but this can be easily be bypassed by adding the shortcut to the startup folder yourself.

All things considered, we can state that Yi Scheduler is a practical way to set up reminders for almost any kind of activity you need to perform. Time frequency can be set to as low as a second, while default audio alerts make sure you don’t miss events. You can use it on the go to have tasks with you, silently counting down time from the tray area.
