Ok I need some help looking for an app.. If it doesn't exist maybe we can build it.
What I want is a very simplistic, minimalist
Desktop Calendar application, with a very basic feature set -- but I'm quite picky about some of the user interface elements.
I have tried a bunch of Calendar/Scheduling information management applications, and I never stick with any of them..
And I *think* the main reason is that I don't have a lot of scheduling to do, I mainly want to add quick notes to a given day, maybe track a few birthdays and events.
So here's what I need:
- 1. Nice elegant maximized display of the current month, shown just like a wall calendar, with a day for each month.
- 2. Each day box should be a very simple click to edit plain text field so I can just easily write and edit the text notes for a given day. I don't want to have a form pop up asking me start and stop times, etc.
- 3. Quick toggle to and from tray.
- 4. A yearly view and/or a summary list view, that makes it easy to see at a glance which upcoming days in future months have custom notes on them. That is, I'd like a year view where i can see the days that have custom notes marked in a different color. And/Or a list view with just a list of days with custom notes.
- 5. A way to provide a simple list of repeating events (birthdays).
I do *NOT* need:
- 1. Alarms and audible/popup reminders
- 2. Searching, Synchronizing, Printing.
Now if we did decide to code it ourselves, there are a couple of unusual features that I might consider adding, like:
- Ability to configure a few custom fields that would be shown on each day, like a field for "Weight" or "Miles Run", etc., and which might be graphable.
Anyone else think this would be useful? Every desktop app i've sen is designed to be a serious power tool for people with super busy schedules..
I just want as close as I can get to a physical wall calendar which let's me easily add notes to each day.
Anyone know of an application like this, free or otherwise?
