EssentialPIM Pro

The Powerfully Simple PIM!

EssentialPIM Pro

We know that it's an old-fashioned idea, but we really do believe that a computer's primary function should be to make our lives easier, especially when it comes to the day-to-day.

That's why we love offering Personal Information Management (PIM) software to our readers. The best of them provide power, flexibility, and enough features to coordinate and simplify just about any aspect of your life.

EssentialPIM is, without a doubt, one of the best PIMs available. It is refined, intuitive, secure, attractive, feature-laden, elegant, customizable, integratable...

Heck, EssentialPIM is so good that we didn't even need a thesaurus to come up with our laundry list of glowing descriptors.

But, you might be asking, what exactly does EssentialPIM do?

Wrong question. What doesn't it do?

Reviews & Testimonials:

  • “I have multiple contact lists on different computers, and frankly, I'm not in love with Palm Desktop (my PDA is a Tungsten T3)--I find it kind of clunky and unattractive. I thought I was doomed to using it until I found EssentialPIM, an application that allows you to sync any calendar with your PocketPC, Palm, or even iPod, and provides a sleek, attractive interface to boot. As soon as I installed it, I was in love.”- www.appscout.com
  • “I found the ultimate solution. It’s called EssentialPIM. It’s got everything you need in a PIM. Calendar, contacts, etc. But the coolest feature yet is the notes feature. It features a tree-like structure for organizing notes. It has a very powerful search feature, as well.Did I mention that if you password protect the file, it includes 128 bit encryption?”- meeciteewurkor.wordpress.com
  • “This is exactly what I was looking for - something to replace Microsoft Works Calendar. It has more features and is much more colorful. That may not mean anything to some people, but I happen to like "pretty."”- review, www.download.com
  • “I downloaded EPIM from Snapfiles, and I have been using it for a few days now. I just wanted to thank you for creating a near-perfect piece of software. It is a pleasure to use, and I have let many family members and friends know about it.”- Darryl Edington, Eagle Point, Oregon
  • “I run a busy secretarial service, I am also a Rotarian, I belong to a business networking organisation and I'm an active member in my local Twinning Association and local Green Party. So this gives you an idea of how busy I am. EssentialPIM keeps me organised, I know when my appointments are, where I am supposed to be, who I am meeting, what I need to do, and also have all my contacts in one place. A great, simple to use, but extremely powerful little program. Well done to all those who design and program it.”- Ashley Price, APA Secretarial, Lewes, Sussex
  • “I have searched and tried many products to include Microsoft Notes and all the Outlook upgrades and utilities for over a year now. EssentialPIM Pro Portable has meet all my requirements keeping ALL of my PIM data synchronized correctly between my Notebook (Outlook 2003) and my Pocket PC (Outlook Pocket PC) and allows me to keep my updated info with me on any PC I use from my Portable Drive. Most notable is keeping my contacts clean and the Notes feature is everything I think I could ask for allowing me to link documents I keep on my external drive. Thank you for the great product, keep up the Portable Applications and great products!”- David Sickmeier, Airspace Management, Contractor, Supporting PM UAS

    Interesting deal spoilt by the fact that the simple GMail calendar synchro add-in is an extra, costing an unbelievable $25, making this an expensive piece of software.

    I took a look at this program and thought it had possibilities as it is being Essential PIM and a replacement for my Palm Desktop. When you do look into it there is alot this company is not telling you. What this add does not tell you is that you will have to pay $25.00 for each addition add in for synch with outlook, palm, and Gmal. The portable version is free. Agendus pro is another program just likes this and includes the software to synch with palm unlike this program that you have to pay $25.00 to be able to synch to palm gear. Althought it looks look good, it is not a good deal as it does not include the software to synch to the palm or anything else without alot of added cost. The company above statement is correct from above "But, you might be asking, what exactly does EssentialPIM do?" It is the wrong question. What it should ask is "What are they not telling you it includes?

    Actually, it's clearly indicated on our official web site that one will need corresponding add-on for synchronization.
    BTW, add-ons could be ordered at discounted price.
    As for difference between Free and Pro, you can find all necessary info here - http://www.essentialpim.com/index.php?r=products&pr=essentialpim&prr=provsfree

    You do not say above that you must purchase add on's. The testomines that you included lead me to believe that this was included in the program. I figured the extra costs when I visited the web sight. I still think it might be a decent program, but as you where not up front with this information, I wonder what else you are not telling me.

    Mary, sorry for the confusion. I actually selected the testimonials to appear on the Bits du Jour page myself and I'm afraid that I completely glossed over the fact that the add-ins are extra. I should have been a bit more mindful of the content! Alexa and Astonsoft have been fantastic developers to work with -- unfortunately the blame lies with me on this one :-)

    Sorry again for the confusion!

    When I downloaded EssentialPIM Pro, Avast! anti-virus said there was a trojan. I tried it again--same result. Then I went to the Astonsoft web site and D/Led it.

    I've been using the free version and thought I wanted to buy the Pro version. However, I was VERY disappointed to find out that it prints today's schedule so lightly I can hardly read it--even though all the items are marked as ALL DAY and, therefore, haven't expired yet. The only item not grayed out for today is a multi-day event. Why they would make a printout look like this is incredible.

    Otherwise, I really like it. But I won't be spending my money on something so useless.
