I have a specific use case in need when searching for a planner/agenda software: the ability to print out what you did on a daily basis in the past x days, weeks, months... doesn't have to be year specifically but preferably the option to print what you did in "all of time". Does anyone know any software that does/did this? Old school software is fine too, even preferable, even if it doesn't run on modern OS versions. I use windows but mac is also an option if the software is good enough and there are no other options.

The ones I have used that will do that:

If you don't need contacts, Above and Beyond would be great for your purpose:

Hi,

If the events are not repeating, then IQ grids can filter and display them no problem. Because events in IQ are also items, you can print these and their associated field values (dates, numbers, notes, project names)

Apple's Calendar app on macOS, and Fantastical can print day, week, month, year, or date range events for any range of dates.

DaidRM's The Journal can do this. https://www.davidrm.com/

Either printing a selection of entries, or creating entry reports and printing those. Both accessible from the print button.

I concur.

I am trying out Above and Beyond now. It seems like a charming tool although a bit limited in the lite mode and also with a learning curve. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi Pierre,
That sounds perfect for a daily agenda and the ability to print field values along is amazing. Can I ask if you can choose which values you print, or all filled ones are printed? As for repeating events, yes there are a few and reminders can also be useful, are they not built into IQ yet or is it just a problem with using the filter and display? There are also other software that can be used for recurring tasks and reminders only, although that's duplicate work...

Fantastical looks interesting although it's a subscription thing which I don't really want to put my data in since you lose all data the day you cant pay the monthly/yearly subscription. And I don't have elaborate needs that make a subscription worth it. Still looks interesting enough to try out.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Oh yes I totally forgot about this gem!
It is such a good app and I have a license too somewhere. Thank you.

The direct Mac equivalent is MacJournal, which is desktop-only, but free and very powerful.

The features and look are very similar!

I loved MacJournal. Is it still being developed?

danschimpf.com states release 7.3.1 is "Compatible with macOS Ventura Built Universal for Macs with M1 and M2".

That puts at late 2022 for definite compatibility. There's a note about a v7.4 beta release in January 2024, but it doesn't see that v7.4 was ever moved out of beta, and no other releases are mentioned.

But, the app is still working under Sequoia 15.4.1.

If it's "still being developed" then the work is being done via the tortoise network.

Thanks, Paul.

Sorry, Stephen – yes, just to confirm that like Paul, I still use it (albeit to a limited extent) and it runs fine on the latest version of OS 15.4.1

There is a learning curve.
What I like most about it: 1) keyboard centric 2) Easy to add important interruptions 3) Floating tasks that will be moved automatically to the next day if needed 4) The way it calculates what you should get done each day.
Also, text based.

If you don't want to pay for a subscription that's one thing, but it's incorrect to say that "you lose all data" when you stop subscribing. The FAQ is pretty clear: when you stop paying for the subscription, your access to premium features will end, but your calendar data itself is not deleted by Fantastical. Your events and calendars remain stored **in your original calendar accounts** (such as iCloud, Google, or Exchange), which Fantastical accesses and syncs with. Cancelling the subscription simply means you lose access to premium features, but your calendar data continues to exist within your calendar service accounts and can still be accessed through other apps or interfaces connected to those accounts.

Your calendar events and tasks are stored on the calendar service providers (iCloud, Google, Exchange, etc.), not on Flexibits servers. Fantastical uses end-to-end encryption for syncing some app data like custom calendar sets and templates, but event data is not stored on Flexibits servers.
