PromptMe - A different kind of Checklist.

I hope that the palm programs I feature here will surprise you with little known and very useful palm apps. I believe this is the case with today’s featured app. It’s called PromptMe. It acts like your own personal Bob Dylan in his video for a song called “Subterranean Homesick Blues.” (This will open up in a new browser window. Just close it to come back here.) The program is finger friendly so you can use this without a stylus. If you have an activity that requires a series of actions PromptMe is perfect for guiding you through the process. It is excellent for routine procedures. It’s also great for directions, recipes, how to’s, lecture notes, and any step by step multi-action activity. The lettering is big enough to be practical. PromptMe gets its info from any memo in your memo app created under the category PromptMe (exactly as it is spelled because the program is case sensitive). The memo title becomes the name of the checklist and each line thereafter is a step. Since this program uses the memo app, you’ll be able to edit and create these checklists using your desktop memo program.

There are some other cool features mentioned in the manual that I won’t get into here. If this app sounds interesting to you leave a comment asking for the manual and I’ll email it to you. It is a Microsoft Word document and it will save you from downloading & extracting the entire zip just to find out if it is worth buying. It will set you back $12. You can pick this up on the developer’s site directly by clicking here or at Palmgear. Looking at his site you’ll see he is a pilot and that he probably uses this for his preflight checklists.

   I use a checklist program on my TX … but I am interested in trying your rec. Thanks

   Thanks also, for introducing me to Dylan’s video.
   His “checklist” has a real smack to it. Still quite relevant, and not that far from the times we are living in. Thanks for the time travel experience.
