Lightweight software for periodic reminders?

Question

Notifications

We are looking for software (under Windows) with the capabilities of a large number of reminders of different periods, for example:
- daily at a specified time on weekdays;
- once a week at the specified time (and day of the week);
- once a month on the first working day after the specified day;
- once a quarter (similarly).
It is desirable that the software be lightweight, with human-readable storage of tasks (for example, in XML), understand the “postponing” of tasks for 10-15 minutes, 1-2 hours, 1-2 days, etc.
The interface is an animated tray icon.
I would be extremely grateful for advice.

Answer 1

Doesn't quite fit your requirements. I use google calendar. Conveniently synchronized, always with you (if you have internet), free of charge and decent functionality. I have it synchronized with HD2 and E72.

Answer 2

I like nnCron for a long time, and in combination with nnBackup it is also an excellent archiver

Answer 3

1. Hot Alarm Clock
2. Free Countdown Timer

Answer 5

I somehow also wondered what is better than Outlook in this, and did not find something. Outlook is not portable, of course, but its reminder is just great. Plus a calendar for unscheduled tasks.
And such a (simple after all) reminder, I think your friend could write in the evenings for a week. With XML and trays ;)

Answer 6

I myself have been looking for a long time and looking for something similar, while Google.Calendar.

Answer 7

I use Lightning under Thunderbird. There is a separate option - Sunbird. It may not suit all requirements (I'm not sure about the tray icon, for example), but in general I like it. It can work with remote calendars (you need a server with WebDAV - I have it set up at home, it is available from everywhere, respectively, and the calendar is shared on several machines). It seems that he also knows how to communicate with Google calendars, I don’t know, however, how fully. In general, I advise you to look. Not without minor glitches, but overall very good. Well, or Outlook, as already advised above.

Answer 8

Of the unnamed, there is Doit.im would not say that it is lightweight, but the data is stored on the web, there are Web and Windows versions (and also Mac, iPhone and Android ...). On-demand sync. For the safety of data, you can not worry about synchronization. The ability to set up repetitions for tasks is available. Plus, for each task, as many reminders as you like are attached to email or popup.
There are no human-readable logs, there is no “postponing”,
