Productivity - PIMs (30)

This entry lets the site down
If your bored with collecting portable freeware get yourself another project dont ruin all this fine work

You can still copy(export) bookmarks from web browser to another one.
Opera do not give the option to export to IE.

Doesn`t seem to work with Opera now as the portable version of Opera has no .addr file (as far as I can tell) and the bookmarks are stored in a 'Bookmarks' file which fails with Transmute Pro, which I did purchase btw.

Also, on the Visit option, no other browsers appear. I emailed the developers but had no response. For paid software, that is very poor. Best file this under junk.

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.

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.

Even Anton at Astonsoft could not help as his recommendations were exactly the same as those from Yahoo.

EssentialPIM free since version 9 can not add e-mail account Google (Gmail) or Microsoft (Outlook) - fails 2-step verification (OAuth).
Version 8 can do it...
Tested repeated on different computers and operating systems.

PSA: I've tested both Outlook and Yahoo in version 10 and they both work fine for me.

I've been using version 4.13 for awhile. Love the program. It got even better w/ v5.01. Added Contacts, Calendar, and ToDo list to the notes. Don't need to Extract as it have an option to install portably on a thumbdrive (although no options to choose a folder).

AM is good, but others you might want to try are Keynote and Totaltext. Both have more features, are portable, and freeware.

AM-Notebook version 7 released and now Freeware: https://www.aignes.com/note_history.htm
Run installer and install as a portable application onto your USB-Stick

The download link still works but the web-page is no longer available and "Page cannot be displayed due to robots.txt.", it seems NativeWinds has closed.

@smaragdus: confirmed, linking to Softpedia for the time being

Sounds good, but v0.a082 hangs. Useless! :-(

It hung for me too. Then I checked its compatibility/system requirements. Officially, it is only compatible with Win 2000/XP/2003 but, unfortunately, I'm stuck with Vista. Subsequentially, I set it to run as admin and with compatibility set to XP/SP2. This time, it started okay. Unfortunately, it still froze after a while :(

An embedded web browser would be great. I'm not talking about a full-powered browser like Firefox. Something like Thunderbrowse would suffice. Oh yeah, something like firefox extensions would be also great.

very bad. One of the worse software I've used

Very interesting application when you take time to invest in it. Much more than Rainlendar although less fancy interface. Has also the import tools and is fully Unicode. Must be used by a large number of users, as it appears in 7 languages already. New search function quite usefull. Imports are possible from Excel. Extra features, such as the Money application, can be used to replace money or quicken in simple households. The music and film functions are quite handy. I'm positively surprised : it's much better than it seems at first hand.

Apparently not free: "We advise you that the downloaded file gives you the right to try the program for 30 days. If you want to use the program longer than the 30 days, you need to buy the license key with us. The downloaded program is fully functional, and contains all 8 languages"

@Sinchu

From the dev:

"This sounds like windows marked the dll files as untrusted.

Try going to the properties dialog of each file (right-click -> properties) and clicking the unblock button."

Someone else on the forum said that using 7-Zip to extract the ZIP worked for them.

Looks like a great program, but I have tried for almost a year to get it to load without success. Followed every instruction, only error messages. Never loads.

@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.

Tested it on Windows 10 and it seems to work just fine.
Standard there is no support for reading NeoMem.hlp but you are redirected to a Microsoft site to download WinHlp32.exe(not tested)

I was an user of Neomem once -- interesting implementation, plenty of bugs, no documentation -- until I eventually abandoned it.

For anyone interested, Treeline (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=971) is not as light, but has everything Neomem offered and is still in active development...

This seems to be the same project hosted at GitHub- https://github.com/bburns/neomem but I don't expect NeoMem to be revived.
