When you launch this software, the first thing you see is a calendar style interface with a calendar of the current month. You can toggle between previous and next months by using the double arrow icons. Its calendar interface helps you quickly take an overview of scheduled reminders. Now, if you double-click on a particular date of the calendar, then a Settings window will open. In the settings window, you get time fields (from 12 AM to 12 PM) in which you need to enter the name and details of appointments. After that open the Appointment tab to schedule the reminder after selecting the details of appointment from time fields.

In it, you can easily set reminders for different purposes like Anniversary, Birthday, Business, Appointment, etc. Plus, you can define categories of tasks according to color codes so that you can quickly know the importance of the task.

StickyPad

StickyPad is another free appointment reminder software for Windows. This software is similar to other sticky note software which let you write important information over an onscreen note that you can place anywhere on the PC screen. But, unlike other sticky note software, this one also lets you set a reminder. Its reminder can be used to remind you about an appointment, important occasions, holidays, etc.

The process of setting up the appointment reminder is easy. To do that, open the StickyPad and write some information related to appointment and then click on the downwards arrow icon and select Set Reminder option. After that, you can either directly enter the reminder date in MM/DD/YYYY format or write reminder time (as in 20 minutes) or you can also specify the accurate reminder time as hr:min:sec AM/PM format. One problem that I find with its set reminder methods is that it doesn't allow you to set the reminder for a specific time of a given date. Plus, lack of reminder sound is another letdown of this software. At the specified reminder time, you will only get an onscreen popup with the appointment details.

This appointment software is always present in the system tray with some quick launch options to launch Window media player, Notepad, Calculator, etc. Along with an Options menu from where you can change notes appearance and set keyboard shortcut keys to quickly launch notes.

Task Coach

Task Coach is a free and open source task manager software through which you can manage your tasks, to-do lists, projects, etc. Along with task management, this freeware can also be used as an appointment reminder software. Most options and features available in it are related to task management and to track the progress of tasks. Still, important options to schedule reminder are present in it.

In order to set a reminder, first, you need to create a new task using the NewTab. The new task will open in a separate window which comes with many sections like Description, Progress, Categories, Budget, and more. From various available section, first, go to the Description section and enter the name of appointment, description of appointment, and also select a priority for the appointment. Now, move to Dates section and enter reminder date and time. A recurrence field is also available to repeat the existing appointments on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. Similarly, you can add multiple reminders as well. All the reminders will automatically add to the main interface from where you can edit a reminder if you want. On the defined reminder time, a popup message with reminder information will be shown by this software. The only problem with this reminder software is that it does not have any option to set a sound reminder.

Both reminders or tasks can be saved individually as CSV, HTML, ICS, TXT, and Task Coach projects (.tsk). Plus, you can also merge multiple Task Coach projects (.tsk) into one file.

Pimero

Pimero is yet another free appointment reminder software for Windows.

Plus, it is also very easy to set reminders in it, by adding details like Appointment name, Location, Start & End time of appointment, category of appointment, contacts, and Reminder time. Although, the reminder function of this software acts more like an alert because in here, a reminder mainly alerts you some time or days before the actual appointment or event. At a specified reminder time, a small window will open up on the screen with appointment details to remind you about the appointment. Still, the lack of sound reminder is a letdown of this software.
