Publisher's Description
From Alec Hole:
PreMinder is an easy to use calendar program. It features monthly, weekly, yearly and custom week views. You can store styled text and small images in your reminders, and set events to be a certain typeface or color. Other features include import and sync with iCal calendars (and by extension any devices such as phones those calendars are set to sync with), the ability to import birthdays from the Address Book, simple drag-and-drop multi-day spans (banner events), repeating events, multiple calendars and a fast search system. Alarms can be created for events which can be set to go off a certain amount of time before an event, or several times before an event, and they which can either alert you (Growl notification is supported), or send out emails or launch files or URLs.
What's new in this version:
- Added Calendar Options sub-menu to View menu. This lets you switch between having the main calendar view scroll or show the minimum number of weeks when in month view. With this option enabled in month view, if the month only spans five weeks then five weeks are shown, otherwise six weeks are shown.
- The Calendar Options sub-menu in the View menu also lets you quickly switch between weeks starting on Monday and weeks starting Sunday. Previously this option was only in the Preferen... See all new features

"Good conventional Calendar program"
Version: PreMinder 1.1.4
Pros
Displaying Anniversaries and Birthdays, computing the age from birthdate/anniversary date
Cons
Would like to print multiple months at one time, say from month/year to month/year.
Summary
I use it as a family calendar and not as a scheduler. I have yet to find another application at a reasonable price with all the features I am looking for.

"PreMinder is the best for Mac's"
Version: PreMinder 0.8.6
Pros
Ability to edit theme colors, add any event, add visual and audio alerts, owner contacts you directly if any reports are sent.
Cons
Absolutely nothing, as this program keeps improving.
Summary
I've been using PreMinder on my different Mac's since they launched. It is the most attractive, user-friendly calendar that exports directly to iCal (great for back-up, but never had to use). When used with Growl, one can set alerts for important dates and appointments. I've used PreMinder from Tiger OS X 11.4.8 through Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.1. Any and all glitches/bugs (I've had only one with Snow Leopard) reported are immediately fixed by the owner, Alec Hole. One can change the theme to just about any color and view. It's not only the best calender for Mac's, but it is also free. Alec must be a humble person, as I cannot find a Donate button anywhere.
Correction: that should be Tiger OS X 10.4.11

"Better than ical"
Version: PreMinder 0.8
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
The GUI is much better in some ways than ical, which I never really liked. I can actually adjust the background and text colors, as well as modify the text so that certain events are easier to find and pop out better than ical.
Because there is a sea of numbers in the main window, at first, it is a bit distracting because it is not quite in the common wall calendar format that one is so accustomed to. Perhaps if this were slightly modified to match such, it might be easier to take in events at a glance.
Navigating inside the calendar is messy and this is the main weakness as for what I experience when I want to scroll back or forward from month to month. One can navigate using the large date tag in the upper left-hand corner but this is confusing because one is switching between working with different formats of information, which is a problem.
The "span" tool works but it is not apparent just what it does at first glance. Perhaps there might be a better way to make this more apparent than just clicking around with it as I did.
Importing ical events has some problems but I am sure the developer will work those out, thus I mention them in passing only.
A better program icon could only help (for the application).
This is a really good free-ware effort, IMHO. Well done. -
"Like It A Lot!"
Version: PreMinder 0.6.7
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
Really enjoying learning and using this great app. One of the easiest PIM I've used. The ability to type in your notes and have the app recognize and assign clock times automatically to events and add them to your planner/scheduler is a nice feature. Also like the slider that lets you navigate to different months or custom set events a great time saver too.
To top off all this goodness is the built in Growl support. I can't emphasize enough how important this is. I hope more and more developers add Growl support to their apps!
Thanks for this great app and for continuing to develop it!
