Was wondering if anyone knew of a Metro app that could hook into the tasks of an Exchange ActiveSync account, such as Hotmail/Outlook. This would be the same list of tasks that you can access on say iOS's Reminders app. The closest app that matches this description is "Tasks by Telerik," but that only works with Office 365 and Exchange (not ActiveSync) accounts.

Thanks!

You can get OneNote app.

Edit: My bad, I realized that you want to sync with the calendar... I thought you want to sync tasks only...

I use OneNote for tasks and notes..

For calendar, you may want to use 'gTasks HD' to use with Google sync data to your google based devices such as Nexus Tab, Android phone, etc.

My calendar's fine - I'm using the Hotmail/Outlook calendar so that syncs nicely across the stock Calendar app and my iPhone (no Google devices here :p). I use OneNote for notes, but if I'm not mistaken I can't set alarms on to-dos with OneNote. gTasks HD is pretty close as well, but again... don't use a Google account for tasks.

Probably the best bet is for Microsoft to update the Calendar app to support Tasks or have a Tasks app altogether in the Mail, People, Calendar, Messaging bundle. Hoping that'll happen when they get around to rebranding Hotmail Calendar to Outlook Calendar or something.

On Android, some tasks apps have alarms which I have seen. I have not used any notes/tasks apps with alarms for Windows yet.

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
