• EFFICIENT: we have designed Thumbcal to always minimize the number of clicks needed. We use a context based engine to adapt the navigation path. For instance, a single click on any day from the month view will either show the list of existing events, or ask you to create an appointment/task. Define your own default values for appointment duration, reminder/alarm options
• NATURAL: scrolling everywhere so fast : swipe your finger up/down or left/right from the month/week/day view to move to another period. For instance from the month view a left swipe will bring up the next month. Swiping your finger up will take you 1 year ahead.
• EASY: no need to learn how to use Thumbcal. Some Personal Information Managers offer very powerful features to create links between, tasks, appointments, your contacts… but learning can be challenging. So if you are looking for a real user freindly solution, that does not require a lengthy and painful learning process, we have designed Thumbcal for you.
  
• AND MORE:
  • No more need for a stylus : fully designed for finger use
  • Full replacement of the default Windows task and calendar application.
  • Full Outlook Synchronisation
  • Available in 16 languages already (more coming!)
  • Choose your style : share with our community many themes to change the appearance of ThumbCal in a few seconds. If you want even more customisation, we will help you create your own unique theme!
