Today – iCal’s Little Helper 8
Application
Hey
I was approached by the guys at Second Gear Software to review their cool little app. I was only to happy to oblige. Hopefully in the next couple on days I should be launching a quick competition to give away a couple of licenses. In a nutshell Today is a small little application designed to show you quickly what you have on your calendar. Its a quick little application that is useful if you have a massive amount of calendars and want a simple clean view.
The app is very simple, its made up one window (plus one preference window) and is designed to show your calendar events in a simple list. The window is designed to show your calendars easily and simply. For instance each item is clearly labeled from the calendar it belongs to (you can turn specific ones on or off) and the date. There are some smaller features which you can use to adjust the output (such as opacity).
This type of application is useful. Although it is probably best suited to people have hundreds of calendar items. This program does have a lot of features that you can slowly find out and use. For the $15 price point its pretty good. Try it out yourself. Although I can give you a basic overview, its best if you try it out yourself.
Where To Next?

Awesome! What would be even cooler is if you could get it on iPhone!

I have been using this for months now, can recommend it to anyone that does not like the look and function of the Day view in Ical. Has nice menu icon for show and hide. Much better looking and use than stock Ical. *****

I find it so annoying that this little app has an icon with a very good looking layout for the tasks and daily activities, and the actual look of the thing is completely different. The icon would make you think the program looked like it but nope; completely different. I’ve tried this thing and couldn’t get into using it just based on how bad it looked.

@Mike, are you complaining about this app because the program didn’t look like the icon? Didn’t you notice the large screen shot on the apps webpage showing you how the program looked.

Yes, I noticed it. yes I have used the app even before this review. And yes I am complaining that it doesn’t look like the icon. Why? The icon is cool looking, and I really like the layout on the icon. It’s a really useful layout with tasks on the right and events for the day on the left. The app much less so.

don’t want to ruin anybody’s joy over this little app, but you can find an extended widget at the apple site called “organized” that does the same thing plus adds the option to see clocks of different locations globaly, Calender, To Do’s, Notes, events etc’… and most of all – it’s free.

That’s what I thought (cooler for the iphone). But the iphone already has one list view (although his appication is of course more elaborated than just a simple “list” view, I think/hope)
