Smart Diary Suite Free Specifications

Keep your personal information in one place.
At first glance, Smart Diary seems similar to many other planners, with various calendar views and the ability to set tasks. What really sets Smart Diary apart is its diary feature, which is unlike anything we've seen before in this sort of program.
The program's interface is attractive and intuitive, with a surprisingly sleek calendar design. It's easy to do all the basics, like adding events and tasks, scheduling reminders, printing schedules, and so on. Everything is neatly arranged with tabs and drop-down menus, allowing users to quickly find the functions they want. What really impressed us about this program was the diary feature. It includes the main component of a diary--a block of space where users can input text and images--but also allows users to track certain "Life Factors," such as health, energy level, mood, and weather. Users who buy the program can customize their Life Factors. This allows users to track various components of their lives and analyze them over time, which is especially helpful for users who have medical conditions. The only thing that disappointed us about this feature was the graphs; we envisioned line graphs that would allow us to track the relationship between two or more factors over time, but all we got was some kind of hard-to-read bar graph that didn't make much sense. This is a pretty big drawback, but the program's other features still make it worthwhile.
