If you(like me) are really really poor at remembering things, you need a task management tool. But almost all task management tools available are either too cumbersome or too heavy on resources. After much chagrin I chanced upon a tool which does only what it claims – task management – and nothing else!
MiniTask
MiniTask is a blessing in disguise for those who cannot live without To-Do lists. It is based on Adobe AIR platform and is extremely lightweight. It is FREE and really simple to use. I fell in love with it the instant I installed it!
