AgendaMaker

AgendaMaker is a $25 Macintosh shareware program for designed to help you collect, organize, and communicate all the information in your life. The program integrates notebook, task, calendar, alarm, mail, messaging, and conferencing features into one seamless application - and all at a reasonable shareware price.

Version 2.5 is now available! This new version contains a few bug fixes and cosmetic changes. See the "Downloading AgendaMaker" section for details.

AgendaMaker Features

Alarms
Alarm items can be created to remind you of important appointments. Alarms can notify you by a flashing icon, vocal message, or by automatically bringing AgendaMaker to the foreground.
 
Calendar
Event items can be created to track important dates, such as holidays, birthdays, etc. AgendaMaker's scheduling functions allow you to see either everything you've scheduled, or focus on those items you should be working on at the moment.
 
To Do List
AgendaMaker allows to track things to do (tasks), marking them as finished when completed.
 
Note Taking
Generic note items can be created. AgendaMaker's tagging abilities (projects, priorities, and statuses) make it useful for collecting and organizing notes, writing memos, exchanging mail, etc.
 
Filters
Filters can be created which limit items shown to those matching certain criteria, such as high-priority items, unopened mail, car project items, etc. The filters are very flexible. In addition, the Find command may be used to search for items with matching text within a filtered set.
 
Tags
Project, priority, and status tags can be created and assigned to items to assist in organization. These tags work with Filters to create subsets of items for viewing.
 
Electronic Mail
AgendaMaker can function as an effective mail system, with the ability to send items across a network - including those linked by modem via Remote Access. In addition to simply sending notes, other items (tasks, events and alarms) can be sent as well to update a co-worker's schedule, etc.
 
Conferencing
AgendaMaker allows you to hold online "conferences" with other AgendaMaker users (one or multiple users), much like the "conferene call" feature of modern phone systems.
 
Messaging
AgendaMaker allows you to send messages to other AgendaMaker users.
 
Graphic Views
In addition to the standard list view, items may also be viewed in graphical week or month format. All views may be printed on a printer.

How much does AgendaMaker cost?

I ask that you pay $25 per copy of AgendaMaker (Single-User License). If you prefer, for $125 you may use AgendaMaker on every computer at your site (Site License). For $500, you may use AgendaMaker on every computer within your organization (World-Wide License). After you pay, bug-fix updates are free, and new versions are discounted.

Once you pay, you will receive a registration number with which you can personalize your copy of AgendaMaker. Unregistered copies are fully functional. The only difference is that the Startup Window is always displayed whenever an unregistered copy is started.

Online payment via credit card is accepted through the Kagi payment service.

Known or suspected bugs (version 2.3)

Problem with "Choose Mailbox" function
A bug was found where the "Choose Mailbox" function would sometimes fail with the message "The mailbox could not be accessed." Version 2.4 fixes this problem.
"Out of memory" alerts
AgendaMaker will sometimes run out of memory - even when plenty of memory is available. Version 2.4 fixes this problem.
Days not labelled properly when printing
Days were not being labelled properly when printing graphic views. Version 2.4 fixes this problem.
Text printing problems with right-to-left script systems
When printing with right-to-left script systems (Hebrew, Japanese, etc.), the text would continue to print left-to-right. Version 2.4 fixes this problem.
Font display troubles in window titles, button names, etc.
A few users have reported that the text in their window titles, button names, etc. appear as gibberish (technical term). I can't duplicate this problem. If it happens to you, please let me know.

If you find any bugs, please let me know by sending email to kswasing@aol.com.
