Chandler is to PIM software what Duke Nukem 3D Forever is to games; hyped, drawn out, long overdue, possibly-vaporware but still fascinating folks around the world.
Unlike Duke Nukem 3D however, Chandler, five years and $8 million in the making, has hit 1.0 and you can download it now. Mac, Windows and Linux are supported.
The idea is that everything is a note. Your emails are simply notes with addresses attached, calendar items are notes with dates and times attached, to-dos are notes with priorities attached. Notes can shift between states and be organised as you want. No longer will your email client force you to copy and paste an email into your calendar client.
That is the idea anyway and I like it. However the year is 2008 and Chandler looks decidedly dated. It is also rather slow, taking noticeable time to shift between notes (and I only have 4 of them so far!) Even longer to switch between the three main views; All, Starred and Calendar.
I’ll spend some more time with it but first impressions are not great. I haven’t found an online web version yet either, something I require for email, calendar and to-dos. I found the Hub which is a decent looking web version of Chandler. It syncs with your desktop software though there are one too many dialog boxes popping up when you do sync.
