Consultant offers more features than any other PIM available for the Macintosh. It includes Day, Week, Multiday, Month, Year, List, Gantt, Journal and Memo views. It's even smart enough to understand English phrases. If there's a scheduling conflict, Consultant will alert the user and suggest alternate times. Not only does it understand English phrases, Consultant can even speak out loud, notifying the user of important appointments.
Consultant is Internet-savvy.
Users can launch their favorite e-mail program or browser directly from Consultant. The times of all phone calls and e-mail messages are automatically logged for future reference. Consultant includes two system extensions that allow the user to access their schedule and favorite contacts from the menu bar and receive alarm notifications even when Consultant isn't running. Consultant also comes standard with a companion program, MiniConsultant, whose simple, one-window interface and smaller memory requirements allow the user to quickly schedule appointments and access contacts. Chronos believes users should have the opportunity to try the software for free before they buy.
