It would be amazing if you could single-handedly keep track of all your appointments, to dos, contacts, and if you could remember all your passwords (from a security point of view it’s best to have different passwords for different accounts). But the simple truth of the matter is that you can’t do all this on your own. You need help and Astonsoft’s EssentialPIM Free application is ready to lend you one.

The PIM found in the application’s name is the short form of Personal Information Manager, while the Essential part is an indication of how good the application is. What the developer is saying here is that this application is an essential personal information manager and I have to say that I agree with that statement.

You will have to wait for a very short amount of time to get EssentialPIM Free off the web and onto your computer. The 6.1MB download will complete in no time at all. You will have to wait just a little time to have EssentialPIM Free up and running. The setup wizard will guide you through all the steps that need to be taken and you will be done before you know it.

The first time you run EssentialPIM Free, you are asked to select a language from a very long list of supported languages. When presented with the application’s interface, you will not have any problem figuring out what everything does. To help you out, the developer pre-populated the interface with various entries.

EssentialPIM Free provides all the bells and whistles you can expect to get from an application of this type. You can set up appointments and to dos and EssentialPIM Free will display them so that you can stay on top of your tasks. You can write down notes, you can receive emails (after you link your email client with EssentialPIM Free), and you can manage a list of contacts. On top of that, EssentialPIM Free lets you store your passwords and helps you come up with new passwords. Sometimes it can be a bit of a bother to come up with a password - EssentialPIM Free does it for you.

As you can imagine, EssentialPIM Free is freeware. What you need to know is that there are several versions of EssentialPIM out there. The nice thing about EssentialPIM Free is that it is free, the downside is that it is not feature complete. EssentialPIM Pro has several more features than the Free version.

The products in the EssentialPIM range include the following: EssentialPIM Pro, EssentialPIM Pro Network, EssentialPIM Free, EssentialPIM Pro Portable, and EssentialPIM Free Portable. On top of these products, Astonsoft has two more supplementary free software applications to offer: EPIM Synchronizer and EPIM Archiver/DuperRemover.

The simple truth of the matter is that you need help to stay organized and on top of your tasks. EssentialPIM Free is an easy to use tool to help you manage your information in an efficient manner.

Pros

It will take little time to download and install EssentialPIM Free on your Windows-powered computer. The application’s interface is intuitive and the pre-populated items help you understand what does what. All the functionality this personal information manager has to offer will not cost you a thing.

Cons

EssentialPIM Free does not have as many features as the paid version EssentialPIM Pro.
