Mindful Lite Description

Mindful Lite was primarily designed to help you remember important facts that are often too easy to forget. That is why its two main features consist of an Event Reminder and a Password Manager. However, Mindful also provides many other related tools including a perpetual mini calendar, date calculator, random password generator, countdown timer and keyboard string parser. By default, Mindful starts automatically each time you start your computer. When minimized, it remains in the notification area (system tray) ready for you to use at any time. From there you can restore it by clicking its icon or by pressing its activation global hot key (default is CTRL+SHIFT+M). When you right-click the Mindful icon in the notification area, a shortcut menu appears with commands to access Mindful's main features and tools directly. Mindful Lite is a simple application which offers users many management tools that can be used day after day, all year long. It consumes very few resources and resides in the notification area when minimized. The event reminder in Mindful helps you remember appointments, meetings, anniversaries, statutory holidays, TV shows, payments due or any other events that occur over time - repeatedly or not - and that you don't want to miss. In addition to defining your own events, Mindful allows you to select from a list of 72 pre-defined events including many Canadian, American and Jewish holidays. On startup, Mindful reads your event list and then either minimizes itself to the notification area (system tray) or displays your event list according to your preferences and the status of your events. You can choose to have your list of events always displayed at startup, never displayed at startup, or displayed at startup only if one or more events are due for notice (require your attention). If you leave your computer running overnight, Mindful refreshes your list of events at the beginning of each day so that recurring events can be automatically rolled forward to their next occurrence as necessary. Mindful then displays a desktop alert above its icon in the notification area to notify you of this update. The Mindful icon in the notification area displays the current day of the month (1 .. 31). The current day appears in red, yellow or green depending on the status of your events. If you have one or more past-due events, the day is displayed in red. If you do not have any past-due events, but you have some non-cleared events due in the current day, the day is displayed in yellow. Otherwise, the day is displayed in green. You can quickly check your next event due at any time by positioning the mouse pointer over the Mindful icon in the notification area. Main features: Roll forward clearance: By default, a recurring event is automatically rolled forward to its next occurrence each time an occurrence of that event passes. However, since each event must be cleared before it can be rolled forward, you can prevent this default behavior from happening on specific events simply by turning off the auto-clear option of those events. For example, you may want to confirm that you paid a monthly bill before the event for that bill is rolled forward to the next month. In this case, the event will continue to appear in your list of events due for notice (even if the actual event date has passed) until you manually clear that event. Recurring events can also be manually rolled forward to their next occurrence ahead of time as needed. For example, you may have created an event for the due date of a monthly bill but you don't want to see this item at the top of your event list once you have sent a payment for that bill, even if the bill due date has not yet passed. By manually rolling the event forward to its next occurrence, this item is immediately repositioned further down in your event list according to its next occurrence date. Event age calculator The age of a person (or event) can be calculated automatically and displayed in the description of an event simply by adding the year of birth (or original event year) in square brackets into the event name. For example, if the name of an event is set to "John's Birthday", this item will appear as "John's 42nd Birthday" in your list of events (assuming of course in this case that John's next birthday will occur in 2009). One-time events Mindful also supports one-time events that can be deleted automatically once passed or kept for future reference, according to your preferences. Keeping a one-time event for future reference can be useful to remember when was the last time the event occurred, such as when was the last time you had an eye exam. Event alarms Event alarms go one step further in notifying you of events. By setting the alarm of an event, you can have an action executed automatically at a precise time on the day the event occurs. Possible actions include displaying a popup window with (or without) a countdown timer for a preset number of minutes, executing a file, or opening an Internet link or URL. A sound is also played when the alarm goes off and when the countdown timer (where applicable) reaches zero. Color-coded events All events in Mindful are color-coded according to their status and their point in time. By default, past-due events appear in bold red, passed (and cleared) events appear in blue, current day events appear in red, events due for notice appear in orange and other future events appear in green in your list of events. You can customize the font color and style of each event status according to your preferences. Event notes Each event can have its own notes. These notes can be useful to remind you of additional information about an event that is not part of the event name itself. For example, the notes for the anniversary of a friend can include their mailing address so you can mail them a birthday card.
