[First posted on PalmAddicts] Recently, I rediscovered the loveliness of Handyshopper on my Treo 650 as an “array of alarm clocks”. I have been using Diddlebug as my alarm clock since it is quick and easy to add new tasks and alarms. However, it doesn’t use the notification manager of PalmOS 5 and it simply prevent other alarms from showing on screen. I then tried to use Tasks from Palm. But it is not as easy as Diddlebug to set alarms. Finally, I found Handyshopper can do a better job than Diddlebug and the Task app from Palm. First, it is easy to assign a category and an icon to a task and filter it by stores (I use stores as projects) and places (I use category as places). And It is easier and more flexible to set an alarm (with 5-way navigation key) than in the Tasks app. I hate using the Palm Tasks app because I cannot set the default number of days befroe the due day of the alarm so that I have to change the number to zero and set the time and I cannot have different alarm sound for different tasks. After I have integrated some lists (so that I don’t have too many lists in the Handyshopper), I now use Handyshopper as my default task manager. If you are like me want to set alarms for tasks and you want an freeware application, Handyshopper should be a good choice. (I still use Diddlebug to set countdown alarms, though)
