About this software
An information organizer built for efficiency and simplicity in mind, with the ability to personalise the software to suit your personal life or company branding. An independent solution designed to give you what you want, not what others think you should have. We also seek to provide a self-contained solution that can run without needing to be connected to the internet (so you are not forced to tell others whether you are online, who you are, whether you have registered your software, need to be subscribed, or make excuses that someone is merely sending personalised advertisements to you or making your experience in using the software a better one etc.). In that way, you are not twiddling your thumbs while waiting for the software to work or have to pay more to make it work. Should the internet be available, additional information and features can be accessed and kept.
This software can be used as you see fit, for as long as you like. There are no restrictions on the number of records you can create or the type of information you want to store and organise. Contacts (contacts.fmp12) is free to use. Comes with a variety of features, such as built-in function and statistic plotters, a calculator with scientific functions, the ability to send HTML and Plain Text emails (for receiving emails, we recommend CNS POP3it Pro), text encryption and decryption, keeping track of important events in the calendar, archiving all kinds of electronic documents (you have a choice of storing files externally, internally, or both), performing OCR on scanned documents (for Mac users on macOS 12.5 or higher), and more.
