Get your tasks or events into iCal quickly with a simple hotkey.
FlexCal is a simple way to get your tasks or events into your calendar quickly. Simply hit a hotkey (that you define) and a quick entry window pops up -- from within any application. The first window is a task entry window. Hit the hotkey again and an event entry window appears. Type in your task or event, hit return and instantly the item is added to your iCal calendar. It's that simple.
complete and easy control; I like the calendar in the pane to ease choosing time; Free; works on Lion.

rsatria
Pros
Ease of Use in entering Tasks and Calendar Events
Cons
Should also include entry field for Task Notes
Summary
Works perfectly as advertised and it's FREE. Excellent app! I believe FlexCal is near the development of a Mac PIM app that can bring together the ease and functionality that Apple has ignored in this category. Instead of using separate apps for mail, ical, tasks, notes, and address book, I can envision FlexCal acting as the front end for all of these Apple apps.These additions would make FlexCal a truly valuable front end for the integrated Organizer/PIM functions I have, surprisingly, found lacking from Apple.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />A while back, I paid $15 for a similar product called Today. I ended up uninstalling it after a few days, because it actually took more steps and time to enter a new event than if I had just launched iCal itself. I gave this feedback to the vendor, but in his next version, nothing much changed. FlexCal does exactly what I need it to do, and the price is definitely right. I plan to donate to this vendor, and thank you very much for a handy piece of software!
