 RememberNotes.exe  License: Freeware

 
  RememberNotes is a sticky notes freeware utility that displays notes on computer desktop, at user defined dates. What makes it different from others is : -> (the "contra" : yes, I have to recognize it has some) it certainly has much fewer features than most other's have : Doesn't embedds links to the internet (however, notes can (optionally and automatically) be send by mail), doesnt manage your contacts, your telephone numbers, won't start other applications, doesn't cook nor start the washing machine and does not even prepare cofee... : well, it basically simply is a sticky notes manager (uh ?). -> (and now, the "pros") : Seems to be the only one providing its users the possibility to have notes popup again and again, based upon a BACKWARD calendar : You can for example decide that a note should popup each month, 7 days before the end of the month : that note would popup on 25 of january, on 23 of february, aso. (Naturaly, it is possible too, to have notes popup on a "classical" calendar basis. Say for example "each trimester, 10 days after the start of the trimester"), or on a precise day, or too : every day, each tuesday, or "tomorrow only", or " each day", aso.) -> Additionnaly : RememberNotes' notes windows do look ORIGINAL (and to me : nice)...
