OneAlert is a small but useful application that shows a calendar right on your desktop and reminds you of upcoming events.
To add a reminder you can directly click on a date or select a day range, but there is another interesting way to do it: there is the parsing console at the bottom of the calendar where you can type in text. This text will be used by the program to generate a reminder, for example, you can type "tomorrow 3pm" and the event will be automatically scheduled.
You can perform different alert actions for the events: show a desktop alert, send an e-mail, run an application, play a sound, and more.
There is a Reminder Manager Window where you can review all your reminders. Among other things, you can make the events recurrent, use the snooze feature, and mark days as holidays and workdays.
This program offers a convenient way to check dates and keep track of your events. The program can be used for free but with the limitation that it can keep only 10 reminders at the same time.
