Outlook addin for scheduling work

[stregacomandacolor]

Hi,

Does anyone know an Outlook addin which can enhance the Outlook Calendar or Tasks for scheduling personal work?
I recently found [edited[] which is however not freeware.
I was wondering if something similar exists, a sort of mixture between the Outlook Calendar and Microsoft Project, for one single person and not multiple resources.
Or maybe if a freeware standalone application exists which is simpler than Microsoft Project.

Thanks!

Have you looked at the Pendulums APP Yet ... it is a "Stand Alone" APP that doesn't need Outlook?
https://pendulums.io/
(I use Thunderbird instead of Outlook and the Lightning Add-In for Thunderbird handles all of my tasks and scheduling.)

Thank you! I'll take a look also for Android!

Yes, there IS a nice freeware kind of Microsoft Project. It is called ProjectLibre - it works on Linux/Mac/Windows - It is Open Source - It CAN open MS Project Files.

https://www.projectlibre.com/product...re-open-source

I threw MS Software out of my Computer years ago (They don't support MAC that well. ) with a nice suite of Open Source Software. Instead of MS Office 365 I Use LibreOffice 7. https://www.libreoffice.org/
Instead of Outlook I use ThunderBird https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/
(With the Lightning ADD-In it does all tasks and scheduling) https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US...dl-mostpopular
And ProjectLibre Opens MS Project Files. https://www.projectlibre.com/product...re-open-source

All future updates to these projects are free - and there are frequent updates. LibreOffice is Better than MS Office - I haven't use outlook in so long I don't know how Thunderbird stacks up against it. You can tell me if ProjectLibre is nicer than MS Project yourself, OK?

The Android Version of Pendulums either installs as an APK File, or you can use the F-Droid Client to download and install Pendulums FOR You. https://f-droid.org/

I use F-Droid on MY Android ... it's the easiest way to get PySolFC installed on Android ... (Beware of PySolFC ... a major time waster!).

Because I found out that the FREE "Open Source" software IS Better than the Proprietary Closed Source products you must PAY For ... a 'no brainer' for me.

Here is a nice comparison of how LibreOffice against MS Office: Feature Comparison: LibreOffice vs. Microsoft Office

And I don't miss Outlook one bit with Thunderbird (and Lightning): Feature Comparison: Mozilla Thunderbird vs. Microsoft Outlook

GIMP is as nice as PHOTOSHOP .... INKSCAPE replaces ILLUSTRATOR ... for just about ANY program I might want to BUY there is a usable FREE variant that is "Open Source". And I'm getting better at hunting them down.

Have fun with your new toys ...
