When birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, meetings, trips, and other special or unavoidable events become too many to remember, a tool like Remind-Me can really save you time and worries. Its daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views of the calendar allow you both to take an overview of all your tasks and events and to have access to more detailed information about each of them at a mouse click.

Remind-Me is a very basic calendar utility designed to work in the background and to notify you of any forthcoming event or special date following your preferences. It comes with an extensive list of public holidays and festivities (only useful for US and Canadian residents, regrettably) to which you just have to add your own special dates – birthdays, anniversaries, exams, special dinners or lunches you don’t want to miss, you name it. You can create as many categories as you need to have all your reminders nicely organized, and search for any special event just by typing a few keywords.

Each event can be set to trigger a notification either at startup or at a given date and time prior to the event itself. The notification can be just a simple alarm on your PC, or can be sent to you via e-mail and include an audio message if you wish.

The usefulness of a tool like Remind-Me is out of the question – its price tag, however, may raise some doubts to potential users. This is not the only calendar utility out there, and many of its competitors won’t charge you anything for their services. Not to mention the many calendar utilities embedded in other tools already installed on your computer, such as some well-known e-mail clients. Despise that, Remind-Me is a tool certainly worth trying, and you can do so by downloading one of its free trials – you will find a regular version and two specific ones to synchronize the program with your Google and Outlook accounts and calendars.


v8.8 [Apr 28, 2018]
- Improved the toolbar by making it user-adjustable. You can now add/remove buttons for a variety of commonly used commands. You can also control the appearance of the button, including whether text labels are shown on the buttons. Right mouse click on the toolbar and choose "Customize..." or select "File / Options... / Toolbar".
- Added an option to control the initial default selection when deleting a recurring event. Choose between single occurrence or all occurrences. See "File / Options... / Prompts / Delete Recurring Prompt Defaults to "All Occurrences"".
- Added ability to print the Find results list
- Added optional new List view field "Next Age" to show the age they will be on their next birthday or anniversary. Previously, only "Current Age" was available as an option. Now both are available choices.
- Added a new color choice for the drop-down arrow used when displaying "More" events for the day. Under "File / Options... / Colors", see the custom color choice "More Events" Down Arrow.
- Improved several dialog displays to include the icon in title bar for better association/appearance. (Alarm List, Find, Category Filter, and View List Columns dialogs)
- Added more detail in the Google Sync debug log, including a link to each event, so in the case of problems it is easier to identify/find the problematic event
- Changed message box text that asks whether to delete a specific occurrence or the whole event to format the date using the Windows short date format, instead of being hard coded to month/day/year format.
- Fixed "Desktop Wallpaper" feature, so that it updates as soon as display preferences are changed that affect the month calendar display. Also updates for the option "Options... / Display / Draw X Over Past Days" whenever a new X is drawn.
- Right mouse clicking on day of week labels and choosing "Week Starts On..." would bring up the wrong options dialog page. Corrected to bring up the "Display" tab.
