- EssentialPIM -

FREE Contact Management software.

(in-depth product review to follow later)

EPim Ltd., the developers of EssentialPIM, is a relatively new company, which produces scheduling software for office and home use.

Their main product- EssentialPIM - is a complete scheduling solution aimed at home users. A wider line of business scheduling products is in design. (I think this might explain their strategy of giving away this product for FREE!).

Yes, EPIM is completely free - no tricks, no adware/spyware, no expiration date etc.

EPIM basically serves you as a Scheduler, Contact Manager, and Outliner.
