Cute Reminder 2.6 build 317

CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

If you need a convenient and hassle-free way to jot down notes and manage your personal information, consider Cute Reminder. Although you can probably figure out how to use this application in a few moments, the developer has provided a tour that walks you through various functions. The attractive interface is always on hand yet doesn't clutter your desktop, appearing as a small orange line on the right side of your screen. Mousing over the line pops up options for creating notes, reminders, and ideas, as well as for accessing the program's control center. You can dock the line on any side of the screen, though in the demo the bar will revert to its default location each time you start the program. Making a reminder or taking a note takes seconds. We especially like the Trace feature, which ensures you don't lose any valuable data by storing all your past notes. The only downside is that Cute Reminder takes a steeper toll on system resources than we like to see. Those seeking an unobtrusive tool for keeping their lives straight most likely will find this program appealing.

Publisher's description

From CuteReminder Labs :

Create desktop notes, set up reminders, and manage your ideas quickly with just one or two mouse clicks. You can easily create unobtusive and blinking reminders to differentiate between usual and very important events. Cute Reminder features schedules, recurrent reminders, individually adjustable skins, audio files in various formats (MP3, WMA), quick search and easy arrangement of sticky notes on your desktop, the linking of files and Web pages to reminders, archiving of notes and reminders into the history, and printing. It automatically tracks up related events within the archive, so you can check the individual history of any specific issue.

Version 2.6 build 317 includes new feature that allows you to make a reminder blink on your screen by using the '!!' tag, which is useful for very important reminders to make them extremely visible, and you can also hide a reminder from the schedule view by using the '{hidden}' tag.
