ScheduleOffline

ScheduleOffline is an accessible application designed to help existing ScheduleOnline users to set meetings and assignments, as well as manage contacts when there is no valid Internet connection. Once back on the track, the sync function helps save the new data to your account.

The program comes with all the required core files in a small archive, which means you can use the app to access your work from any location, as it's not tied to the system. It's required to have Java installed on the computer and recommended to update it to the latest version.

Keep in mind that an account is necessary to access all the offered options, which can be created on the developer's website. From the "Goodies" menu, you can log into your profile, by entering the email and password.

The interface is old yet user-friendly, divided into five distinct tabs, namely calendar, scheduler, contacts, to-do list, and groups. Although there is a help file implemented, it didn't open in our tests, so you have to figure out on your own what each option does.

Directly from the calendar, it's possible to schedule a task or meeting. For the assignment, you have to select the calendar (personal, business), public or private status, start and end date and time, duration, description, as well as a reminder, automatic deletion, and recurrence.

In addition to the criteria mentioned above, you need to enter the people who are attending the meeting, by selecting them from the contact list. To create new contacts, fill in the full name, title, company, work and home details (phone numbers, address, city, email), and note.

Unfortunately, there is no option to create new categories. For lists, all you have to do is enter the topic, description, priority (e.g. low, medium, high), due date, and assigned contacts. Each record can be printed out.

Taking everything into account, ScheduleOffline is an intuitive program that comes in handy to those who already have a ScheduleOnline account to make new to-do lists, handle contacts, and schedule tasks when the Internet is down.
