Rainlendar makes a schedule visible without requiring a full calendar window. Choose a compact layout and useful alarms, then decide whether local events are enough or whether paid online-calendar integrations are necessary for your workflow.
Place a compact calendar and task list where they remain visible without covering active work. Use categories to distinguish commitments and adjust alarms so they remain useful. Keep local backups, and choose Pro only if you require its online-calendar integrations or additional exchange formats.
