## Key features

- **Calendar:** Day, Week, Week Agenda, Month, Year and Agenda views, with a tasks sidebar beside the schedule, custom categories and reusable event templates.
- **Tasks:** Tasks and subtasks sit in a hierarchy and can be shown in Tree, Plain or Kanban views, with search, filters, custom layouts and templates.
- **Mail:** A unified inbox for several IMAP, POP3 and Microsoft Exchange accounts, with mail rules, tags, advanced search and PGP encryption.
- **Notes and passwords:** Notes are written in Markdown or rich text with images, tables and drawings. Passwords are kept in an encrypted database with a generator and Auto-Type.

## Good for

- Windows users who want mail, calendar, tasks and notes in one app
- People who prefer a perpetual license to a subscription
- Small teams sharing calendars and tasks from one database

## Worth knowing

- The desktop app is Windows only. The iOS app includes only the Tasks and Passwords modules, and the store listings date both mobile apps' latest updates to 2023.
- Cloud sync, automatic backup, tags, templates and Sticky Notes need EPIM Pro. The free EPIM Mail edition leaves them out.
- A perpetual license includes 1 year of updates. Newer versions after that need a paid 12-month update extension.
- License prices are in Indian rupees, as the checkout converts them for a visitor in India; they shift with the exchange rate. US dollar prices could not be read.

## Works with

Google Calendar, Google Tasks, Microsoft 365, iCloud, Nextcloud, ownCloud, Dropbox, Microsoft Exchange
