OVERVIEW
DayChaser is a calendar and scheduling application sporting a very user friendly Mac OS X native user interface. DayChaser is document based, that means it stores all the data in double clickable Calendar documents. DayChaser lets you create and manage multiple calendar documents simultaneously. Each calendar document contains its own unique set of scheduled entries and To-Do items that can be customized so your personal organizer is truly personal.
LIMITATIONS
We released DayChaser with the intent of giving users an easy-to-use calendar. However, trying to keep up with iCal or Google Calendar, both free applications, is a losing battle. DayChaser is a calendar/appointment application intended for use by one user on one Mac. These days, most users need their personal information available to them on multiple devices and they need to connect with other users to share and merge appointments and contacts. DayChaser is unable to do this. So keep in mind that DayChaser might be right for you if:

MAKE IT PERSONAL
You can customize every aspect of DayChaser using colors, fonts, icons, and filters for easy navigation and organization. Since DayChaser calendars are documents, you can create as many as you like. This is a boon to users who wish to have different calendars depicting different areas in their life. For example, you may decide that you would like separate work and personal life calendars. DayChaser gives you the capability to use separate calendars and to manage them completely independent of the others. You can even drag entries between the documents.

ALERTS
DayChaser can be instructed to automatically notify you when an event or appointment draws near. Each entry can be set to trigger a notification whenever you specify. Notifications can be posted minutes, hours or days prior to an actual event. Reminders can be specified to repeatedly notify you until an event comes due so you won't miss it. Get notification of upcoming events by onscreen message, email, or both. DayChaser does not have to be running for notifications to be posted. A background application monitors your entries and automatically alerts you so you won't miss out.
