DeskTask Description

DeskTask makes for a very efficient Outlook assistant that displays upcoming events and tasks on your desktop without necessarily opening the email client.

If you work often with Outlook and you need a software solution that provides data related to your calendar and tasks quickly, then DeskTask is the perfect choice. It spears you the trouble of opening Outlook each time you need to check such information.

The application requires no efforts whatsoever, because it connects automatically to the email client and retrieves relevant information, showing it on your desktop in a jiffy.

The program is compatible with Outlook 97 and higher which means it addresses a wide array of audiences, regardless of the Outlook version users have on their systems.

As soon as you launch it, you will be presented with upcoming calendar events and tasks that have been retrieved from Outlook with details such as name and the date and time they’re associated with, keeping you informed about the next important step in your project.

Despite the fact that it lacks an actual interface, the program can be easily handled from the system tray, where it creates a control panel that provides direct links to Outlook’s calendar and task list, as well as to the Options window.

From here, you can perform various customizations that include settings a refresh rate, assign a refresh hotkey and a wide array of tweaks related to appearance.

For both calendar and tasks, there’s the possibility to adjust options concerning the way they are displayed. For instance, you can set the application to show or hide the start and end time of your appointments or to display priority icons for upcoming events.

All in all, DeskTask comes across as a highly customizable Outlook helper that can keep you informed regarding your schedule without launching the email client. This saves time and minimizes efforts.
