Editors’ Review
Mindful is a multifeatured reminder and password manager that provides users with a variety of ways to keep track of things. The intuitive interface makes the program easy to use, but we did notice a few annoying quirks.
Mindful's interface isn't beautiful, but it's easy enough to understand and navigate. The program's main screen displays a simple list of upcoming events; there is no calendar or planner-style display. The password manager allows users to store log-in information for their various accounts in one place, protected by a master password, and the Hot Keys feature is a nice bonus. With this feature, users can have the program log in for them automatically with a simple, user-defined key combination. For example, we logged into a Web site by pressing Control+Shift+L; the program typed our username, tabbed over, and entered our password. This eliminates the need to remember multiple log-in and password combinations. A few other tools--a calendar, password generator, countdown time, and date calculator--round out the program. The built-in Help file provides adequate instructions.
Our main quibbles with Mindful have to do with its functionality. It seems that when it's running, our screen periodically flashes, as if it's refreshing. And the shadow associated with one of the program's drop-down menus remained after the menu--and the program--were closed, which was annoying and hard to get rid of.
Mindful has a 30-day trial period. It installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program but with reservations; we like its features, but a couple of irritating habits mar the user experience.
What’s new in version 2.3
- New application preferences for short date format and main form font size.
- Context sensitive mouse wheel scrolling. Instead of scrolling the control having the focus, the mouse wheel now scrolls the control located under the mouse cursor.
- Option to copy content of messages to the clipboard using Ctrl+c. This option can be useful while requesting technical assistance.
- Improved file corruption detection and recovery process.
- Esthetical interface improvements while running under Windows 10.
- Change to default Mindful files location (i.e. ...\Documents instead of ...\Documents\Mindful). This change should not affect existing installations.
- Support & development of U3 edition of Mindful discontinued as U3 Smart devices technology is now considered obsolete.
