Almanah — a Diary App for You

Ever wanted to note down some things that happened to you in a day? Diaries are ever useful for logging things that you might need to refer to in the future and to keep them in a calendar form would be easy for some. Others need to be able to refer to the calendar to make sure that the entries are consistent. Almanah seems to be an application made solely for that purpose.
Using Almanah is simple. Just run it and note down the things you want by typing them on the big space it shows to you. By default it would save all these things you’ve typed in the current date’s page. If you want to note something in advance, maybe a birthday, then go to the date you wish to specify. Write down the birthday celebrator’s name.
Apparently Almanah is also capable of noting the tasks and events in Evolution. But I don’t use Evolution as a mail client so I can’t really show that to you. In any case, that’s a nifty feature.
Also, if you’ve got important notes, URIs or files you want to associate with the date, it is possible. Just add a link. There’s a sidebar for all of the links and above it is a calendar to help you navigate throughout the diary.
I hope that Almanah would help you remember the important things in your life whether it’s personal or related to work. Even if it looks very simple, what it could do for you could be a lot.
