I’m not sure if it satisfies all your requirements, Graham, but maybe take a look at Achieve Planner:

I don’t use it, and haven’t really looked at it in a while, but after reading your request, Achieve Planner, so maybe it’s worth a look.

That should read: “While I don’t use it, and it has been a while since I tried it out, Achieve Planner popped into my head as I read your message, so it may be worth a look.”

Hi Graham,

I believe VueMinder Calendar Pro can do what you’re looking for. The latest release has added the capability to view tasks and events based on calendar, category, priority, and location. The colors for these can be customized, and each item can be filtered. It’s a very visual and flexible approach.

There’s a blog article that describes this capability in more detail. You can read about it here:
http://www.vueminder.com/index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=9&cntnt01origid=61&cntnt01returnid=61

I hope this matches what you’re looking for.

Regards,
Dan C.

Thanks Steve and Dan.

Achieve Planner doesn’t do it for me - it doesn’t give me the type of feedback I’m looking for.

Vueminder also doesn’t give me the graphic feedback, and this is because of the way the developers have distinguished between tasks and events. For events you can add start and end times/duration and it supports true recurrence. For tasks, strangely, you can’t add a duration (so the tasks are just listed without giving any clue to timings, which is what I’m looking for), and true recurrence is NOT supported (only repeat every n days/weeks/months). To use Vueminder I would have to add tasks as events, meaning I’d have to plan start and end times for them - exactly what I want to avoid. It’s a calendar with a half-hearted attempt to support task management.

But, as I said, thanks for the pointers - I appreciate it.

Graham,

I now have this kind of visual feedback working for the calendar:

Is this what you’re looking for ?
