You can’t always rely on your brain to remind you of every upcoming event, task, or any other activity, especially if these count as too many. The classic pen and paper method isn’t that efficient either, since you can easily loose the paper sheet. Luckily, various applications like Active To-Do List give you an abundance of options to manage your time, and set up alerts.

On the visual side of things, the application keeps all of its features in a clean, classic window frame, with a toolbar holding a few general functions, while the rest of the space is dedicated to all the tasks you create. Additionally, you can bring up a note editor in case you need to write down important details about each task.

Adding a task is pretty easy, and even inexperienced individuals can quickly set up a list of things that need to be done. A new prompt shows up when choosing to add a new task. There are three tabs through which you can navigate, the first being dedicated to general details, like name, notes, and categories.

Each task can be fitted with an alarm, that’s equipped with a bit more options than simply playing a sound file to alert you. As such, you can choose to have an email sent, or to run a specific program. Moreover, tasks can be made recurrent, giving you the possibility to set up a birthday calendar.

Customization options let you define font and colors used to show tasks and corresponding details. Active To-Do List also comes with various preset categories, but you can bring up the editor to handle them, or even add more of interest.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Active To-Do List comes in handy for both home and work related activities. It’s pretty easy to use, with accommodation being a walk in the park. The variety of categories let you organize all tasks, while customization options provide even more ways to easily differentiate, and add a personal touch to the list.
