Overview

The DevelopmentNow Google Calendar Monitor is a simple desktop application that synchronizes with your Google Calendar and pops up hard-to-miss, snoozable reminders for your events. You can also add events to your calendar without having to open a browser.

Installation

To install, just download the zip file, extract it, and run the EXE. Note that you must have the .NET 1.1 runtime installed (you can get it at Windows Update). The software has been tested on Windows XP Pro, SP2, but it should work on any computer that supports .NET 1.1. Note that firewalls will probably block the program. You will need to allow the program to access the internet in order to display your calendar.

General Use

To use, just start it up and go to the Settings panel. Enter your Google Calendar username and password, click Save Settings, and you're off. When you hide the main form, you'll see an icon in your taskbar. You can right-click it for menu options, single-click it for a quick view at today's apopintments, or double-click it to bring the main window back up.

Screenshots

Snoozable reminders pop up above your taskbar as well as in the middle of your screen, making it hard to miss your appointments.
