The application makes use of Leopard's Calendar Store function so syncing with both Mail and iCal works seamlessly. We enjoyed the sleek dark grey interface, which lists up tasks, with the total number appearing at the bottom of the window. You can check or uncheck these and swap between different lists by clicking on the drop down title list.

Anxiety also makes it very easy to create and add new notes in a second. You can also choose to have the program's icon appear either in your menu bar or on the Dock. Anxiety can hide away when inactive and appear at login.

Anxiety is a simple, unassuming yet attractive to-do list which syncs perfectly with Mail and iCal.

Calaboration lets you have it all by allowing you to keep both iCal and Google Calendar in sync so you never need to choose between using one or the other again. And it works absolutely seamlessly. All changes you make in either iCal or Google Calendar are synced in real-time (assuming of course that you are connected to the internet). If you're not, then the two applications will update the next time you are connected.

Setup is extremely easy. You're asked to enter your Google Account username and password so that iCal and sync with it. You're also asked if you want to add the e-mail address you've supplied to be added to your iCal contacts. From them on, it's plain sailing. Simply add and change appointments in either app and the two update simultaneously.

There's little to fault with Calaboration. It does a simple but effective job of meaning your iCal and Google Calendar appointments and reminders are always in sync.

In the realm of schedulers, there seems to be those that fall into two categories: To Do list apps and straight-up calendars. Neither really gets the job done fully if you're a college student. Get Organized fills in the gaps in that respect, letting you be as specific and detailed as you want.

The nice thing about Get Organized is that it's more than just a calendar, and far more than a simple to do list. Get Organized seems to be targeted specifically for university students, although high school students will also find most of the features useful. You first sort your courses by school term. Then start adding in the classes you're taking in a given semester or quarter. Courses are differentiated by the color of your choosing. Define the dates the class runs from, the days of the week it meets on, and even list the room number and other important information.

Get Organized even takes it a step further from there, however. By allowing you to note all of your assigned homework, assign a priority level to each one, and even input information about the required textbooks per class, you really have no excuse for not getting things turned in on time. There's also a really helpful option to email your professors via one simple click if you've added their information into the proper field.

The only hang-up a user could possibly have with Get Organized is that there are so many features that it's possible you might miss one or two. Luckily, Get Organized also comes with a very handy help prompt upon start-up that you can later choose to disable once you've learned all the tricks.

Get Organized is also available in a portable version, allowing you to take the program virtually anywhere you can imagine going yourself.

For a comprehensive class scheduler and assignment organization tool, Get Organized is not to be missed.

RescueTime is a Web-based time management and analytics tool which automatically tracks the applications are taking most of your time. It sits quietly in your status bar and discreetly takes note of which windows are most active and being clicked on at any time. It also intelligently realizes when you've left your desk (obviously by monitoring keyboard and mouse activity) and stops recording at the right moment. You can even instruct RescueTime to prompt you how your time had just been spent.

There are a few other useful features too. One is a block mode which allows you to block certain websites for specific periods so that they don't distract you. Another is an alert feature, which reminds you when you've spent more time than you planned on a certain application or website. At the end of it all is a well-presented graphical representation of where your time was spent.

The idea behind RescueTime is a good one and it could be a useful way for companies to track how employees are using their time. However, for those users who are trying to discipline themselves in time management, the frequent alerts or blockages that you impose will no doubt frustrate more than they aid.

If you've got no self control at all, or you simple find yourself addicted to certain applications or websites, RescueTime will help you regain control over your time.

DateLine attempts to distinguish itself from the bunch by displaying a linear calendar on your desktop in a solid color or transparent line. This means that along your desktop, you have a piano keyboard-style layout of days of the month which you can double click on and then edit directly in iCal.

You can customize the background and text colors of the days, or simply turn them transparent to make them a little more discreet. I would recommend this because otherwise, it does tend to blight your desktop a little.

Overall though, there isn't much point to dateline. There are a host of applications for making iCal more easily accessible and the best solution of all, of course, is to have iCal open all the time. Dateline doesn't even highlight important daily events either which means it's only useful as a tool to access iCal and not to see what's coming up.

If for some reason you don't like having iCal open all the time or have your dock hidden, you may find some use for Dateline, although it's hardly a revolutionary app.

In just a click, you can reveal a monthly calendar view of all your iCal entries. Note that although most features are free to use, some advanced features require registration.

You can also use the application to create your own tasks and events, although you will not be able to add an alarm, set attendees or attachments. Today can be opened from either the menu bar or Dock for quick access.

Today almost works like a widget. You can bring it up in a click and have an overview of all the tasks and events for the day. It's perfect if you need to focus and do not want to open up iCal. Having it perfectly synchronize with iCal and Apple Mail means you never have to worry about if events and tasks are updated on all your different applications.

Although offering basic event and task creation, Today is a great tool to immediately see tasks and events for the day. It boasts perfect synchronization with iCal and Apple Mail.

The calendar is for the period from 2008 to 2015 and will give you both the name and percentage of a moon cycle. For example 75% is disseminating and 25% waxing crescent. Moon Phase Calendar is essentially an ICS file, which you will need to save somewhere where your sure not to lose it. Double click on it to launch it in iCal. You'll then have to select which calendar to associate it to.

It would have been nice to see a bit more information in the Moon Phase Calendar, like some details of the different moon cycles or an image of what the moon looks like during one of them. Still, Moon Phase Calendar is very simple to add to your iCal and doesn't take much space either. You can even edit the events if you wish to add your own details or an alarm.

Moon Phase Calendar adds the moon cycles to your iCal calendar.

Unfortunately, not all of Mozilla's software is as good as Firefox but Sunbird is still a worthwhile cross-platform calendar application that's built upon Mozilla's XUL language. Note that Sunbird is still very much a work in progress and as such, even the name of the application could change soon according to Mozilla.

The interface of Mozilla Sunbird is very simple. Adding an event simply involves clicking on the 'Add Event' box in the top left-hand corner. The same goes for New Tasks. There's also a powerful search tool that finds events by keyword. Like most of Mozilla's products, it also seems very safe and allows you to set a password to access it. You can also extend Sunbird with a series of free add-ons from the Sunbird site.

On the downside, Sunbird doesn't feature integration with either iCal or Google Calendar, which you'd expect as standard really. You can, however, export the calendar. It also doesn't seem to be updated very often and looks like that Mozilla have put it on the back-burner for now.

However, if you use both Firefox and Mozilla's e-mail client Thunderbird, Sunbird is an ideal calendar component although most would probably be better sticking to iCal.

It allows you to enter all seasons and all episodes of your favorite shoes. It addition, it supports additions you make to iCal so you can be alerted to upcoming shows via iCal or even email. TV Series enables you to create reminders in your iCal calendar and send a reminder by mail.

Serie TV makes filling in your database fast because of an Autocomplete feature which searches online for the TV Series you enter. So for example, type in "The Wire" and Serie TV will search online for the correct catalog and load all seasons into the database. However, the application almost crashed when I searched and although the search results were correct, it takes Serie TV a while to load the database.

Serie TV is a nice idea but both the interface and functionality need some work before its the finished product.

CalendarBar shows a list of upcoming events in your menubar and automatically syncs with all three applications meaning that your events are dynamically updated. However, you can't manually sync your calendars - you must wait for CalendarBar to do it automatically which may be annoying for some.

You also have to trust it with your login credentials for each calendar, which may raise security concerns for some. You can choose which of your calendars you want to be displayed though and the slick interface integrates with your OS X desktop beautifully.

CalendarBar is a treat for anyone that wants to stay organized in style in OS X.

Using the Subscribe, you'll be able to monitor when calendars were synced and with whom. If you've been disconnected for a while, BusySync will automatically sync as soon you connect your Mac to your network again. BusySync works with the reliable Bonjour networking to sync iCals.

A nice feature to have to share iCal calendars with others.

Things lets you easily create tasks and organize these by project. You can set them for a given date or delay less important ones by placing them in the 'Someday' category. Things syncs perfectly with iCal so that any newly created task of project appears in the Mac calendar.

To keep your tasks organized, Things lets you add tags. The more you add the easier it will be to find and identify a task. You'll also notice tags appear at the top of the interface.

If multiple people are working on a same project, Things lets them collaborate and remembers contributions from each person.

I've found Things enjoyable to work with, although I would have liked it to interact with more applications like Address Book.

Things is a smart and friendly task management application for Mac.
