My goto app -I use it all day long
This is the best replacement for datebk on Palm OS. Its the most powerful task/calendar Ive found. You can manually set text colors using RGB 256 for each category of task and select a color for calendar items as a group. Task pages are separate for each task category you create. I like to use "Day View" instead of task view to show tasks due today across ALL my task categories: yellow for am tasks, blue for daytime tasks, green for errands, brown for calls, orange for online, purple for pm, red for urgent. In task view main page, which is like a table of contents for the following task view pages you can edit task categories to change category order and color. This order will appear in day view. e.g., am tasks can be listed first, pm tasks listed last. You can also order tasks WITHIN a category in day view. For example, you may wish to move "get mail" to the bottom of your "daytime" tasks because your mail arrives late in the day. To accomplish this, go to that categorys task view page, select "my order" from the pull down at the top of display area. Reorder tasks then go back to day view. Youll see the order is changed. I also like to put appts at the bottom of day view because I have only a few appts but tons if tasks. You can also have preset "to dos" by selecting that you want "history" button to actually be a "favorites" which you can edit. So your task favorites can include your personalized list of favorites like "get email" or "clean bathrooms" while your appt favorites list is separate for "haircut" or "staff meeting." Love this feature.
So heres my wish list. 1. A per task entry where I can select how far in advance the task will show up in day view. Currently it only shows if it is overdue or due today. I would like items due by Friday to show up on Monday- Thursday because I requested "4 days" in some "days adv" field, thereby not being overdue until Saturday.
2. A pull down in day view that advances all unchecked or (at least) unchecked non repeating tasks by one day. For instance, although I thought I would accomplish 12 things today, when I only accomplished 7, I dont have to select all 5 tasks individually to change their due dates to tomorrow. This is because I dont want NONCRITICAL overdue items to appear at the top of tomorrows day view as they do now.
3. When setting the date, add the option "day after tomorrow" where there is currently "today", "tomorrow" and "next week" listed below the date selector.
4. I would love the function the "Calendar" app has when you select the magnifier and only see days that actually have appts listed on a scrolling screen. This is the best way to see if youre open because you can scroll around for weeks easily. Its the only thing I ever use the standard calendar for so please add this one so I can retire calendar from my main screen.
5. I consider this one a bug fix. Suppose I have a weekly repeating task on Monday but I couldnt finish it Monday. It will appear at the very top of my tasks on Tuesday because it is overdue. If the task is not super urgent I really dont want it at the top. If I edit the due date to be the next day, in this case Tuesday, the tasks repeat schedule automatically changes to be due weekly on Tuesdays instead of Mondays. Technically that should only happen if I selected a repeat schedule of every 7 days. It should really remain repeat on Mondays. As it is now, I have to move "repeat day" back to Monday once I delay my task by a day.
Overall I love this app. I have other todo list apps that I use for projects or shopping lists but this is my fav for everyday tasks and calendar. Im on it all day! Thanks for the last bug fixes- I love my new refills appearance pages.
