Pimlical - an Advanced Calendar/PIM application for Power Users
Pimlical is an advanced successor to the very popular Palm Calendar application, DateBk, used by millions of Palm and Handspring users that now runs on Android Devices. Manages Events, Tasks, Memos and Contacts.There is a matching desktop PIM application for Windows-based PCs and data can be synced back and forth with Pimlicos DirectSync, as well as through Google Calendar see Pimlico Website at www.PimlicoSoftware.com.In addition to providing all the conventional calendar functionality, Pimlical has a wealth of features for the power user not present in any other calendar application on any platform. If you are looking for a "cute" and "pretty" calendar, you should look elsewhere, as this program is designed for users who need not only vastly more functionality in a calendar application, but also far more preference settings so it can be truly customized for their use. The relatively few negative reviews of this application are typically posted by users who were just looking for something that was pretty rather than super-functional (and of course it takes some study to even begin to learn all the things that it can do).Features include * Quick Entry Templates * Down-counting Reminders * Floating Events, as well as tasks * Custom icons, fonts and colors * Full repeat support including irregular repeats * Filters to control all aspects of event display * Multiple calendar, category and group support * Automatic backup, iCalendar Import/Export * Link events to contacts, find all events linked to contact * Undelete * Voice entry of appts and optional, spoken alarms * List of upcoming alarms shows all future alarms that are scheduled * Daily Journal: automatic date/time stamping * On-line manual * Locates and Displays all separate instances of a repeat, including irregular repeats * Snooze and Alarm management (snooze to start/end of appt as well as from now) * Day, Day+, Week, Week+, Month, Month+ and List Views * Dynamic resizing of font display with up/down strokes * 450+ Preference Settings control all display aspects * Fast entry of dates and times, 2 Date Pickers, 3 Time Pickers to choose from * Full Timezone handling * Advanced Find function * iCalendar import and export * Full local contacts support including vCard Import/Export * Full local memo support using standard text files * Events, tasks, contacts and memos all sync to matching Desktop application * Separate widget available shows upcoming events, alarms, free time with a dynamic, resizable display and full control via P/A Filter to determine which events are shown in the widget. * Supports both native Android calendar and secure (bypassing Cloud) local calendar on SD card that can sync to desktop version via DirectSync * An active forum on Yahoo Groups populated with other Power Users interested in advancing the functionality of this application. Pimlical/Android is definitely a PIM for power users and not for the occasional-use novice. The focus of the application is directed towards efficiency and functionality, and for the author, CESD, this is a continual work-in-progress as new functionality is added on a regular basis.If you encounter issues on installing Pimlical/Android, first check out the FAQ’s on the TechSupport tab of www.pimlicosoftware.com or go to the support forum at: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/PimlicalBest of all, all the profits go to the benefit of Wildlife Conservation, as CESD also manages the only private AZA-certified facility in the world for Gorillas (yes, gorillas! – see www.dewarwildlife.org).* ScheduleIn Action tag with no value now pops up Dialog to enter future duration for Reminder Alarm.* Adds custom notification sounds for Android-10+ snooze/Float-Task/Custom Items, and sets them from a Pimlical Preference (no more fiddling with "CHANNELS").* Now displays Edit button & selection List for snooze/Dismiss buttons in Android-10+ notifications.* Fixes several obscure issues with Notification Alarms in Android-10+.

By far the BEST program out there! I've been using this since Palm III! Can't recommend it enough! You have no idea what calendar software can do until you have this. How Google or Microsoft hasn't snapped this up is beyond me. Do yourself a favor & get on-board...
While I had used this calendar app for years, I would say maybe 1-2 years ago now the alarm functionality broke when android updated, and will not sound alarms or reminders anymore. I recently contacted them about it providing detailed information and followed up several times but they never contacted me back. Not sure why they have a tech support email if they never bother responding.
I couldn't wait for my new android device to be delivered because I found my old buddy while using a loaner phone. I used to use an equivalent of this on app my Palm devices and there is no calendar app around like it. If u have ADHD, this is the app for you due to all its types of calendar events (e.g., normal, repeating, floating, etc.) So efficient for complex repeating events. In gcal, I have to create 3 calendar events just to try to do what I do with one event in this app. Ty Pimlico!
Been using this app for over a decade. Since Datebook days.
Don't know how I'd manage without Pimlical. DateBk on Palm was great but this is so much better! So many prefereces it's sometimes frustrating to find the one you want - a diagram/glossary of terms would help a lot - but it's worth the effort, as is everything else you need to learn. Brilliant. Thank you! Purchased a few years ago, annual subscription wouldn't hurt so off to find out how can I send a donation...
This calendar is designed for Giant company CEO.
Complicated but reminds me of good PIM apps like those in Palm and Treo PDAs. I suggest giving it a try - works great on my BlackBerry Key2!
Have used software from when it was Palm Datebook3. This app was what motivated me to buy an android phone rather than go with Apple. This app is the most complete and tweakable calendar (and more) app you might ever find. And can back it up with your computer several different ways. Kudos to the developer.

Recently came from Pocket Informant for more than 12 years. Getting to know this little gem has been reasonable for what you get. I have only scratched the surface but love the direct sync to my desktop! Wish I could get more icons to use with the calendar types. Haven't figured that out yet. To busy at work.
I was a DateBk3 user in the year 2000 on a Handspring Visor. Now I'm still a Pimlical user more than 20 years later! It's a great product which I rely on to give me featureful access to my Google Calendar.
