EssentialPIM Pro

Designed to help you easily juggle daily tasks in a digital and secured environment, EssentialPIM Pro is a personal information manager for adding appointments, notes, to-do lists, contacts and passwords, as well as for browsing Microsoft Outlook emails and setting reminders.
It comes loaded with a wide range of practical features and customization settings that should please all types of users, such as extensive file type support when it comes to importing, exporting and synchronizing data.

Professional interface

By judging the interface with a neatly organized structure and the samples loaded at startup to help you get started, it's clear that EssentialPIM Pro is really professional, as its name says. You can navigate and create new appointments and to-do lists by specifying as many information as you can, such as subject, location, status, start and end time, duration, priority, completion level, and category.

Create tasks and fill in information

In addition, you can attach notes and external files, enable a reminder (at the event time or before the task), set EssentialPIM Pro to repeat the task, as well as mark it as an all-day event or exclusive event.
Similarly, you can create to-do lists, notes, and contacts to create an address book with other people's personal and business information, schedule an upcoming event and take notes, as well as explore emails and send new messages, provided that you have linked the tool to a Microsoft Office account. A calendar with all events is put at your disposal, and you can easily tell them apart by color, depending on their category (e.g. important, business, birthday). You can also conduct search operations across the entire database, manage attachments, password-protect the database to restrict the access of other users, as well as import, export and synchronize data to a wide range of supported formats.
