Version: TimeTo 1.0
"The best time management program you could buy"
Pros: I have used A&B for almost 10 years and TimeTo builds and improves on A&B. During this time I have tried many other programs (see cons) but this has always been associated with a drop in productivity and I keep on coming back to A&B, and now TimeTo.
TimeTo uses a sophisticated dynamic scheduling tool that uses deadlines,priorities and task commitments to match tasks and appointments with the available time. This means that your next action always surfaces to the top of your Todo list.
Well designed calendar views, include views where different colours are used to show how busy you are likely to be on any future day.
It has good search and filtering tools allowing easy focus on specific categories or roles.
Quick and easy entry of new tasks and appointments allow you to throw tasks into TimeTo with little effort: ready to tidy up during daily or weekly reviews. You can also add full task details at the initial entry time, but the quick way minimises disruption to the task you are working on.
Time logging and reporting tools.
Developer is very responsive to requests for help and modification to the program.
Cons: The developer is actively working on all of the points raised below so when you read this, these cons may already be out of date.
Limited contact management tools, but can be set up to work fairly well with Outlook, and possibly other programs.
Limited Palm sync capability and no Outlook sync (which is now a common standard for many PIM type programs).
Limited project planning tools, there is an outline view that shows tasks linked to projects, but this needs expanded to allow projects/tasks to be fully edited, added and re-structured.

Version: TimeTo 1.0
"The best (bar none) Time Management Program available!"
Pros: TimeTo stands head and shoulders above the rest of the pack of Time Management programs. I have tried many Time Management programs and with the exception of TimeTo, they all require a lot of time to manage reshuffling your tasks and appointments (kinda inronic, isn't it?)
Once you set up your tasks and appointments in TimeTo, this program does the rest, automatically rescheduling tasks that don't have hard deadlines. Prioritizing your projects and related tasks is a breeze.
Furthermore, it is one of the most stable Windows-based programs that I have ever used. If that isn't enough, it will run 100% from a USB memory stick so that TimeTo can be completely portable, plugging it into any Windows-based PC that has a USB port.
One of the best things about this program is it's developer, David Berman. He is extremely responsive to user input and is actively developing this program.
I highly recommend it!
Cons: The only thing that I would like to see added is a companion Pocket PC version, as it is not practical for me to carry a laptop everywhere that I go.

Version: TimeTo 1.0
Pros: Loved the program - have been searching for a time management program for months, and have only come up with those which make you spend more time trying to figure out how to save time. Has a lot of features not available in others, like reports on tasks done and time spent on projects, really intelligent scheduling and flexibility which allow for haphazard days - like allowing for interruption time, bringing tasks forward, splitting large tasks into different time blocks and allowing you to give tasks a flexible due period so that the program can schedule the work by analyzing your priorities and other tasks - alleviates the stress of trying to figure out when and how to do things - the schedule moves with you through unpredictable events, instead of forcing you to fit the schedule
Cons: Great program but needs a little more extensive help files - because it has so many features, it is easy to miss out on some of them if you depend on the help files alone; also interface could be a little more smoother - otherwise really great program

Version: TimeTo 1.0
"Powerful time management tool"
Pros: TimeTo (nee Above&Beyond) is a useful and feature-packed time management tool for home as well as corporate users. David Berman (the current developer) takes over Above&Beyond where 1soft Corporation left off. This is the only tool of its kind that features dynamic scheduling which intelligently manages your time when you fall behind schedule or when you have to handle interruptions.
Cons: The User interface needs a makeover. Visually not so appealing, this power-packed tool could be the best in its class with some attractive graphical design. Also, it could do with a better address book and some email integration.

"Perfect, The only Dynamic Real Time Time Management Tool"
Pros: This tool helped me become more discipline with time management. The dynamic aspect of the software allows the software; given the parameters you have set, to continually update your schedule. It allows you to link tasks, create prerequisites for tasks, time and put a cost to tasks. It is a superb tool for those of us who seem to have more to do than the hours available.
