All-in-1 Personal Organizer (APO)

APO General description

All-in-1 Personal Organizer (APO) is a personal information manager (PIM) with three main uses. First, it's a tool for managing any kind of personal information such as tasks, events, contacts, notes, file links, web links and executable key scripts. Second, it's an image viewer. Finally, it can be used as a mind stimulator useful for reflection, self-analysis and self-improvement.

All information is contained in one or more password-protected Microsoft Access 2000 databases (however, you don't need to install Access 2000).

The information is divided into up to 44 customizable domains and an unlimited number of categories.

APO can display stored information not only as a grid or list, but also as a calendar, a tree map, a tag map, a random map, a slide show of random items etc., complete with auto-tiling, drag and drop, and various kinds of animations.

As an image viewer, APO has all you need to enjoy your digital images in various comfortable ways. It includes unique slide show features such as automatic script creation, session hibernation/resumption, photo editing on-the-fly etc. The image viewing functions of APO are also available as a separate program (see Pictoscope).

With more than 20 different window forms, APO gives you in one product all the functions you may ask from a powerful, yet simple to use organizer for home and office use, plus capabilities you have never seen in any other product or even imagined.

A simplified version of APO (without the image viewer and mind management functions) is available under the name A-PIM (All-in-1 Personal Information Manager).

APO is compatible with all Windows versions.

The main features of All-in-1 Personal Organizer are summarized in the following list:

"The All-in-1 Personal Organizer really delivers! I have tried nearly every organizer out there looking for one that would be the right fit for my work as a
writer/research but was always dissatisfied. However, the All-in-1 truly has everything I need in an organizer! I love it!" (ebferree)

It's very intuitive, for me at least..." (RUSafe1)
