DayChaser is a calendar and scheduling application that not only allows you to organize your personal time but can also organize your work habits. Sporting a very user friendly Mac OS X native user interface, DayChaser lets you create and manage multiple calendar documents simultaneously. Each calendar document contains its own unique set of scheduled entries and To-Do items that can be customized so your personal organizer is truly personal. Features such as repeating entries, customizable filters, user definable categories, color coded entries, customizable views, contextual menus, date range queries, automatic email generation, calendar/itinerary printing and executable tasks truly set DayChaser apart from other scheduling programs.
Look at Each Day Your Way
Display your calendar entries in year, month, week, day, and list views. Easily navigate through each view with a click of your mouse. Each view is fully customizable so you are able to change colors, fonts, the toolbar, or even choose which day to start your week. For each view, filters can be applied to isolate specific entries making it easy to keep track of your activities. Calendars may be viewed in any time zone and entries may be posted in time zones different from the calendar document.
Post Five Kinds of Entries
Post Appointments, Events, Memos, General Tasks, and Executable Tasks to any date in DayChaser. Appointments cover any time period from a minute to several days. Full-day events cover a single day. Memos are notes added to a date and time. General Tasks are events with no duration. Executable Tasks are automatic operations you schedule. Any number of email contacts may be associated to an entry. These contacts can automatically receive email notifications or be the recipients of custom messages. Any number of files or URLs can be attached to a calendar entry so all related files can be quickly accessed.
