• 13-11-2012: Version 4.0.1 has been released, which fixes a small bug in v4.0 when deleting an item in certain circumstances.
• 11-11-2012: Version 4.0 has been released. This introduces a calendar view (next to the item list view that was the only view in previous versions). Work more easily with actions; drag actions to new dates, easily create a new action on a specific date! Also adds double buffering to the list (or calendar) view to reduce flickering. This version is compatible with files that were saved with Organiser v3.3.

• 30-09-2010: Version 2.7 has been released. This fixes an important bug which makes starting Organiser on some Windows XP systems result in a crash. Also, a 'Clear filter' button has been added for convenience.
• 06-07-2010: Version 2.6 has been released. This adds date menu functions for actions, to move start/enddates for single items or entire groups, making the Gantt chart much more user-friendly. Also, groups now display the summary date range in the Gantt chart. It also fixes a few bugs in the viewing algorithms.
• 19-04-2010: Version 2.5 has been released. This adds a very useful quick filter box which filters out items based on a single piece of text.
• 24-12-2009: Version 2.4 has been released. This fixes a few bugs and adds a simple 'Export HTML' function to be able to send out reports with mail for example.
• 19-04-2009: Version 2.2 has been released. This adds mail, call and payment items (reminders). It also adds icons for all the item types, and now allows a default type for groups, so a double-click in the item list will add the preferred type (although you can still mix items types within one group).

Organiser is planning & project management software that helps you to hierarchically store things-to-do, tasks, facts, web locations, file locations, contacts and such for quick overviews. Given an intuitive interface, you'll quickly be able to get a grasp on the things that need to be done. Organiser is the successor to Planner, which is more rigid in its structure (client/project/milestone). With Organiser, you get to choose where you need to subdivide your tasks into groups. Click here to go the download page, or check out the documentation to get a feeling whether it is right for you.

Features:

• A free project management and organizing software alternative to Microsoft Project for projects where require less complex information (though the projects don't necessarily have to be small).
• Easy grouping of all your actions (with planning) and related tasks into groups that you define and modify as projects grow larger or smaller.
• Supported items include simple todo's, contacts, facts, agreements, actions (tasks with start & end dates), locations (websites, folder locations or even single files), mail, call and payment reminders.
• User-friendly intuitive interface.
• Tasks can be 'Waiting For' to get an overview of things you still require from people (see this tutorial).
• Gantt charts to get a visual look on your planning, including visualization of action progress/overdue actions etc.
• Fits the 'Gettings Things Done' method from David Allen perfectly.

Organiser is recommended for:

• Small to medium-sized projects, covering no more than 1 year of planning. More than 1 year is certainly possible, but for that you may probably want to turn to bigger applications such as Microsoft Project.
• People using Planner, wishing for a more flexible layout. Organiser is your answer; it does all the things Planner does and more!
