Desktop Organizer App

Nov 17, 2011 Dexpot is a free virtual desktop app that supports multiple desktops, and is the only one as far as I know to support organizing icons into separate desktops, rather than just windows and applications. The desktop app unifies your calendar, email, notes, tasks, and contacts into one view. Outlook's mobile apps aren't quite so ambitious, but they do at least combine your calendar and email. Outlook, which is part of Microsoft Office, lets you share calendars with teammates, and that's its real strength.

“I dont normally write reviews but I would not be the same person without this app. It has made me so productive because of the easy ability to add tasks and the “plan my day”feature that lets you schedule your tasks for the day. Its ease of use and functionality has been greatly improved over the past year of updates and has still remained free. Great app”

“I love the 'Plan my day' feature. I’ve tried a ton of planer apps and this is absolutely the best out there, the most powerful feature is that it makes you plan and organize in a natural way (Plan my day). It syncs with everything so your information is where you need it.”

“By far the best and most intuitive productivity app. I've downloaded literally all of them. Any.do is the only one I keep coming back to despite the subscription costs. They have done a great job in making the app intuitive and the features are outstanding. I sometimes try out some of the other apps to see if they've improved but keep coming back to any.do because of its simplicity. In particular I really really like the Plan My Day function. That should be an automatic pop-up every morning in my opinion.”

“Love the reminder to plan my day! Keeps me focused on important tasks throughout the day.”
