It was a sunny Saturday morning, a very nice day for taking a walk, going to a picnic or just spending time outside. As I was leaving my building I noticed that all around, people were not enjoying this day the same way I was. Everybody was in a hurry to get to certain places and get things done.

Nowadays, to keep up with the faster and faster pace the world is going at, you need to manage your time carefully and be more organized; every second counts. The amount of information we need to keep track of is huge and a little help wouldn�t hurt.

Because I spend most of my time in front of the computer, I needed a software that would efficiently combine time and personal information management - a all-in-one package. Here is where WinOrganizer comes in.

WinOrganizer is a complete and powerful application that combines a planner, a password manager, a notepad and an address book to help you better organize your business and private life. It provides you with the following types of documents: Notes, Events, Tasks, Contacts, Passwords, and Folders.

WinOrganizer has a user-friendly and easy to approach interface. The main window has two panels: one with the tree-view of the main sections and the other one where all the information is displayed. The best thing is that all of this can be customized to your needs. WinOrganizer can be used by the whole family and each member can have their own folder with their own personal settings.

No more boring notes! For all those bits of information you may need to store, WinOrganizer offers a notebook that besides text editing will allow you to insert images of different formats into the text. Also, you can customize everything you write by highlighting, underlining, applying italics, bold type, margins, etc.

WinOrganizer will allow you to attach external files (.doc, .xls, .jpg, .mp3, .exe, etc.) to any type of records. Thus, you can save attached files in your database along with notes or comments. Moreover, files attached to a password-protected document are also protected using the same password.

You will never forget a birthday! The Events section is helpful when you have recurrent events such as birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, religious holidays, etc. Just set a date and a recurrence period for each event. Furthermore, you can set an alarm to have a prior reminder about an upcoming event.

Get your work done in time! With Tasks you will know exactly what errands need to be run, what job needs to be done and at what time. You can assign priority, percentage of task completeness, task status and also you can set alarms.

An important part of any organizer is the address book. WinOrganizer lets you keep business and private addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and WWW-locations. For an easier access, you have additional features for integrating the address book with your e-mail client and web-browser and, if you have a modem, you can even make calls directly from your contact list.

WinOrganizer has a password storing feature which will help you collect and protect all kinds of confidential data, like account numbers, credit card details, login names, passwords and serial numbers.

The Today section of WinOrganizer compiles all the activities and events from the chosen day so that you can have a better view of things.

WinOrganizer offers even a recycle bin for deleted documents and records.

I was amazed to see that WinOrganizer supports a lot of various languages like English, German, French, Russian, Romanian, Spanish, Hungarian, Slovenian, Bulgarian, Greek, Czech, Italian, Catalan, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Portuguese-Br, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Byelorussian, Swedish, Polish, Slovak, Lithuanian, Korean, Serbian, Danish, Turkish, Dutch, Latvian, Croatian, Finnish, Norwegian.

The Good

WinOrganizer is an easy to use application, accessible to the whole family that can improve the way you manage your time and your personal information.

The Bad

Apart from some minor bugs, when you set an alarm, the default sound comes from the PC speaker, and not from the audio speakers. This can be remedied but you have to do it manually for each record.

The Truth

WinOrganizer offers you the most flexible and efficient solution to all your everyday time management needs. With all the different features it offers, you don�t need to search for a better organizer, this is it.
