Tracking appointments and tasks with Task Coach
Convenient Scheduler
The legacy handwritten diary has outlived its usefulness. Task Coach helps you organize your tasks and appointments.
Effective time management is important not just to individuals; freelancers and service providers who bill clients for their time can't survive without it. Task Coach offers a one-stop tailored solution for all user groups.

The Task Coach program package, which weighs in at approximately 7MB and has made its way into only a few software repositories, is available in precompiled versions for various distributions or as source code [1]. Before installation, make sure the packages for Python version 2.6 or newer and wxPython version 2.8.9 are already in place on your system. Then you can easily install the latest version of the software on your hard disk using your package manager. The routine creates a program launcher in the Office submenu.

A simple button bar and a menubar are arranged above them. At the bottom of the screen is a status bar. The two lists (additionally integrated as separate windows in the program area) also have their own little button bars at the top that can enable context-sensitive basic functions without needing to access the menus (Figure 1).
