Publisher's description of Active To-Do List

To-Do List organizer tracks your tasks in an easy to use format. Quickly record as many notes as you need for each task, and organize your tasks into categories or even different to-do lists. Tasks can be set to repeat at a wide variety of intervals so repeating tasks only need to be entered once. Remind yourself with a variety of alarm options including a popup window, playing a sound, sending an e-mail reminder, or running any program.

Your to-do list can be published to your Web site with the push of a button, so you can view it even while you're away from your computer. Active To-Do List is very simple to learn and use, but also offers advanced filtering and searching capabilities when needed. Version 1.3 improves accessibility and Windows Vista compatibility.

Editor's review of Active To-Do List

• "Not enough versatility"

Keeping track of your daily, weekly, and monthly tasks is almost a full-time job. With so much going on, people often need a little help. Active To-Do List offers such help, but those well acquainted with similar programs might want more help than this one offers.

The program's basic interface is plain, but so simple that most users should not find it confusing. The display is a plain, white box that contains simple icons for allowing people to create new tasks, and edit, delete, and move their priority tasks. Creating a new task is simple. Once the icon is clicked, users can give it a title and fill in details in the body of the list. From there you can set its due date, an alarm, give it a category, and organize how frequently it repeats.

Tasks are listed in order of due date if no priority is set; however, the prioritized tasks get moved to the top instantly. Active To-Do List is a fine program that functions as it promises, but its plain interface and lackluster performance failed to wow us. In our tests we have encountered several similar products that offer more versatility, visual impact, and intuitive use. However, if you have used other programs and haven't found a suitable task organizer, give this 60-use trial a shot.
