I have used this PIM for many years however since Yahoo inflicted their new security measures I have been unable to download messages from my Yahoo account, I have followed all the instructions provided by Yahoo to add Essential PIM to the list of message services but to no avail.

TreeSheets is a mashup of many different program types including spreadsheets, mind mappers, outliners, PIMs, text editors and small databases. It has a tabbed interface and is lightweight and fast, using few system resources even with large files.
It's like a spreadsheet, but much more suitable for complex data because it's hierarchical. It's like a mind mapper, but more organized and compact. It's like an outliner, but in more than one dimension. It's like a text editor, but with structure. It is capable of many kinds of data organization, including todo lists, calendars, project management, brainstorming, organizing ideas, planning, requirements gathering, presentation of information, etc.
Functional in 64-bit and cross platform (Linux and Mac).

@PAFuser: This program is in active development and the dev is fairly responsible if you want to drop him a note about your experiences. I've stepped away from using this program due to what I hope are some sync issues with the SimpleNote service. |
CintaNotes is a tag-based, text-only personal notes manager for collecting bits and pieces of information such as thoughts and ideas, article excerpts, quotes, research etc. A global hot key (by default Ctrl-F12) clips pieces of text from other applications such as web browsers or any local program. The window title becomes title/subject of the note and the highlighted text selected becomes the body.
The program is useful to quickly take down and tag any piece of useful text that you come across and quickly organize by date, keywords, title, link and note size. A search tool searches the entire database with search keyword highlighting.
Note: Some features limited to a "pro" version include tabbed sections, pasting notes into other apps, hierarchical tags and multiple notebooks.

Rdex is a freeform database which can be used to store addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, online ids, recipes etc. basically any miscellaneous piece of information. It is based on the idea of a cardfile, like a Rolodex. Just click "New Card," paste or type in some info and click save. Later, you can search for any text contained in the card by typing the word you are searching for into the search box at the top.
Rdex is available for Windows, Java and Android. If you keep the data file on a cloud storage service such as Dropbox, your data is available anywhere and you can maintain sync between mobile and desktop access. Rdex can also encrypt the data file if you wish to ensure privacy.

Have used this for sometime now as my default desktop note app. Launches very quickly, easy to setup and use, and has a small footprint. Useful for taking basic notes quickly. Other than fonts, doesn't provide other options to change its appearance, allowing the user to focus on writing notes rather than on distracting options such as page layouts, backgrounds, colors, graphics, structure, or setting up menus. |
TreeLine is a unique cross between an outliner and a database. It stores information in a tree structure, but each node in the tree functions like a mini database with its own data types and field formats. It supports a wide variety of import/export options, one of the most useful being for Mozilla-type bookmarks.
Note: This program is not a typical tree-based outliner and requires some effort to read and digest in order to grasp the the program's data model and associated concepts. See the How to Use section of the website.

Treeline can now import plain text, delimited text, Treepad text, bookmarks (both HTML & XBEL formats), generic XML, and Open Document (ODF) files; export options include delimited text, HTML, generic XML, XSLT, and ODF. Hard to beat in one of the weaker aspects for this type of programs... The only downside up to now seems to be the sizable memory footprint (see this for a comparison between an a freshly started Treelines with an empty database and sibling Python based wikidPad bearing 302 pages, which BTW feels somewhat sluggish, both in portable installations: http://i54.tinypic.com/2mflnnt.png )

UK's Kalender is a personal calendar that sits in the system tray and reminds you of upcoming events or deadlines. Events can be displayed in weekly, fortnightly, monthly or yearly view. They can also be organized into different categories with their own settings. Documents or programs can be attached to an event so that they are automatically launched when the event fires. The program also allows sharing via network (multi-user).

Open Contacts is an address book program that allows you to manage and lookup contact information of individuals, departments and organizations, and to manage relationships between them. Along with predefined fields, you can add customized data fields grouped by sections, and also customized "actions" (developers and advanced users). You can also attach photos and files, and search through any data field in the database.
The program can selectively import/export from and to major PIM packages. Multi-user access is possible in a LAN environment using true client/server architecture.

Really amazing number of imports and exports. Can pull from Outlook, vCard, Mozilla, Eudora, spreadsheets, Vista, and LDIF. Unfortunately I got error messages when I tried to export to excel/csv, which is a format I really needed.

Nearly Two years later... This app is currently hosted at: http://www.fonlow.com/opencontacts/ Having tried numerous contacts and address book apps including Thunderbird, I have yet to find something versatile, portable, configurable and reliable. While it sounds promising, if this doesn't work, I'm going back to Outlook express 6! I'm currently storing my database in MS Office Excel 2003 portable which I found and I love it! I just can't get Outlook .pst files to work. |
minipad2 integrates many useful functions into one program including notepad, calculator, reminder, dictionary, launcher, address list, text template, and clipboard enhancement. All the contents are automatically saved while minimized or closed, and will re-open to the same state. The program can be freely switched between two styles: multi-page style and treeview style. When no longer used, it can be minimized to the system-tray, or hidden outside the desktop. Additional features include password protection and encryption.
