TODO_LOU

If your schedule is overflowing, sometimes you might need a little help remembering certain events or bits of information and creating To-Do lists has proven to be efficient more than once.
Although you can opt for a traditional pen-and-paper approach, creating lists on your computer can take less and save you a bunch of office supplies. Here's when dedicated apps such as TODO_LOU step into action.

Simplistic interface

Installing this application can be accomplished fairly easily by a wide variety of users, regardless of their PC skills or previous experience with similar software, as it doesn't imply any advanced configuration.
After you launch it, you can notice the plain, quite unattractive interface that boasts a bunch of cluttered tabs and a few buttons that offer few information about their functionality. Here's where some users might find it difficult to understand the controls.

Rudimentary To-Do list creator

TODO_LOU can help you create basic To-Do lists on your PC by simply typing the contents in the corresponding field and hitting the "Add" button next to it. Appending extra flags to your entries can be simply done by selecting the desired ones from the combo menu next to the "Rep" button and double-clicking the items you want to attach them to.
After you are done with a task, you can simply right-click it and send it to the "Done" list. If you want to view details about the session such as the time when you opened it and how many tasks you completed, you can do so by navigating to the "SESSIONS" tab.

Custom flags

This application also enables you to create custom categories and add them to the list, so that you can access them in an easier way whenever needed.
To do so, you need to navigate to the "CONFIGURE" tab, type the name of the new category and click the "Add" button, just as you would add a task to the list. Furthermore, if you need to write a note, the "JOTTER" section is the right place to do so.

Lightweight To-Do list creator

All in all, TODO_LOU is a simplistic To-Do list creator that fashions a plain interface that can be quite confusing at times and enables you to save your tasks and manage them. It can be easily installed and lets you create custom categories for your records.
