ALM

This program works from some very different concepts compared to other calendar programs. I have designed it to be a tool that is fast to work with, to get a good overview of coming events, to not having to reenter birthday notes every year, to get an easy way of setting alarms for TV shows repeating every week.

What's displayed in the main window is a long list of notes with the coming week focused. You can easily scroll up or down when you want to see more. Or use the search box. One long list, no notes are hidden inside pages of months or days like in other calenders. This gives you a great overview.

ALM uses a kind of self explanitory programming language in the data file. But don't you worry, ALM writes the program code by itself. You just press the buttons. But if you like programming, then use the built in editor and edit all you want...

That the data file is a normal txt file which actually can be understood just by reading it, is an important factor for future safety. Even if you for example move away from Windows in the future, a text file will always be understood.

If your native language isn't English, you can localize what is displayed in the main window by defining your own words for day names and things like "tomorrow" and "days left".

ALM is simple to use but can still be very advanced if you like it to be: How about making it auto backup to a different drive, or how about setting up a joint data file over a home network for all of your family, or why not use the same data file (and program) for a Windows/Linux dual boot... These things are possible, but let's start a bit more simple.
