A great Dashboard widget that takes natural language expressions describing calendar events and creates them for you.
The QuickCal Widget is a free Dashboard widget that will take natural language expressions describing calendar events, and creates them for you - without you needing to have iCal open!
Hints:
· To create tasks, just start or end with “todo”. To assign importance to a task, throw some !’s at the end of it. The number of bangs dictates the current event's importance
· To create a task with a specific due date, just use “task by DATE”, or “task before DATE”, or “task due on DATE”, …
· Always start the event with the description, and then get into days and times (”Do Something on DAY between X and Y”)
· If you specify a start time without an end time, the assumption is made that you want an event for 60 minutes. (This will be configurable in an upcoming version) - “Meet w/ Tom tomorrow at 5pm”
· The events will by default be created in your first Calendar in iCal. If you flip the widget over, you can change this.
· Smart Reminders will automatically create reminders for you, and sometimes it will create more than one - based on how far in the future your event you’re creating is. Fully configurable on the back-side of the widget.
What's New in This Release:
· New widget icon
· Added 5-minute reminders for events as an option
· Bugfixes in recognition engine
