If you are managing your business or personal life from your computer and mobile devices, you will need an app to manage your communications, appointments and other similar stuff. EssentialPIM is an excellent software to handle all these tasks. Traditionally the first choice for this role would have been Microsoft Outlook. However, it comes with a hefty price tag, and you need to buy it with other softwares included in Office you may not need. EssentialPIM is an excellent alternative that can take care of all the organisational needs you may have.
EssentialPIM supports an unlimited number of email accounts. It has powerful email management tools and also newsletter and bulk mail tools. You can import and sync your contacts and calendar from Microsoft Outlook as well as cloud services like Google Calendar, Tasks, Drive and Apple iCloud. You also have the option to directly dial any of the contacts right from the app itself. The Windows desktop app automatically syncs data with linked iOS or Android apps.
It has a great calendar that can display all your marked dates in a clear and colour coded manner. It can help you set reminders and create templates for appointments. It also helps you print out the calendar schedule for the day, week, month or year. It has great task management features. It has the standard features such as categorisation, prioritisation and marking status and creating reminders. It also allows you to assign people to tasks and track progress. It also has notes feature for taking simple or complex notes. You can have any pictures or tables in the notes. You can organise the notes in any number of folders and nested folders. It also has a password manager. It can store all your passwords and generate new random passwords. You can link any data such as contacts, email, calendar entry, task or note with any other entry
EssentialPIM is also available in portable form so that you can carry it around in a removable storage drive. All your data can be protected by AES 256 encryption. The underlying database is based on an open source engine. Hence you can store and retrieve data from it in a standard format even with the help of any other tool. Importing and exporting your data for migration to other services and softwares is very easy. There is a completely free version with limited features to try out.
