Aeris Calendar

Setting up reminders and tasks is not a mandatory activity in any domain of activity, but it surely helps to have a visual representation of your daily tasks. This can easily be done with a variety of computer applications. Aeris Calendar is one suitable example, coming with a range of customization options, calendar, and efficient tools for time management.

Installation only takes a little while, with the possibility to have the application configured for startup, and launched right after. Running it brings up the main window in calendar view, a tray icon, as well as a desklet.

The desktop object only shows weather by default, with the possibility to expand it with a calendar, and todo list. While the calendar attachment helps you easily write down notes, the todo field is not editable, and only shows tasks you create in the main window.

As for the main window, it’s where you get to spend most of the time configuring reminders, setting up todo lists, looking over weather predictions over a few days, and planning activities with the calendar.

Visuals can be slightly tweaked, with the possibility to choose one of the preset pictures, or a custom one to use as background. It’s also possible to change desklet transparency, and icon set to display for weather forecasts.

The calendar view shows a little bit of everything. Split into large cells, these hold weather predictions, astronomical events, known holidays, as well as reminders and tasks you configure.

Setting up reminders, notes and tasks requires little effort. Taking notes simply works by writing down text in a dedicated field, whereas tasks are also fitted with a completion percentage indicator. Reminders, on the other hand can play an audio file for alerts, launch a specific program or website, and bring up a dialog box with a message when time runs out.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Aeris Calendar is a powerful desktop companion which is sure to come in handy both at work, and home. The visual design is intuitive and appealing, with several customization options. Weather is accurately displayed for the input region, while the calendar allows easy management, and tracking of reminders, notes, and tasks.
