A computer is not just your friendly getaway solution for the end of a long day, but is also used as a primary tool for work in an abundance of domains of activity. Depending on the circumstances, you need to install applications to help you carry on your tasks and Makagiga is just the right office assistant.

It comes in a pretty light package, with the setup process taking only a little while. One of the first things you need to check is whether or not the target PC is equipped with Java Runtime Environment. You can also grab the portable edition to use on the go.

We can't say that visual design is eye candy, but it is polished from all points of view, with highly-detailed icons, tabs, edges and panels. Navigation is easily done through a browser window placed on the side, leaving the rest of the space to handle as you see fit. Each project opens up in a new tab so that your work is not discarded while switching through pages.

Flexibility is amongst the application's strongest points. With an active Internet connection, office work benefits from a great deal of variety, because you can set up custom RSS feeds to stay up to date with latest events around the world. There is a decent amount of content put at your disposal by default just to get an idea of what can be accomplished.

Offline work consists of taking notes and time management. All projects can be cleverly arranged in custom folders you easily create in the browser panel, which is also the case with RSS feeds. Just so you don't feel overwhelmed, each different category enables its own set of options only when active.

The text editor put at your disposal is pretty basic, but provides enough flexibility. Characters can be formatted by specifying type, size, color and alignment. A built-in syntax highlighter helps with HTML, CSS and JavaScript programming.

Don't bother using notes as reminders for events. In this regard, you have full access to a scheduler which gives you the possibility to create tasks in order to manage your time a little better. The creation screen is intuitive, with a calendar taking up half the view, while the rest of the space lets you add description, importance, as well as time related settings. Progress is kept track of and the rich context menu lets you easily set its percentage and priority through colors.

All elements mentioned above can also be used in an alternative method all together. Multiple workspaces can be created, which resemble your desktop and can be fitted with widgets you arrange using your mouse. These can be notes, tasks, calendars and even a search field that retrieves results from the Internet.

Bottom line is that Makagiga is a powerful office assistant, regardless of the domain of activity. It targets general purpose through the features it comes equipped with. As such, you'll be able to stay updated with the latest news headlines, take notes, manage your time and even a few more goodies. It has little impact on system resources and welcomes individuals of all levels of experience to try out its features.
