The Active desktop is an application available for you to download.



It has a built in calendar which will allow you to add reminders to pop up on specified dates and times.

Click on the 'add note' button at the top of the screen and a sticky note will appear which you can fill in and save.

Once you have chosen to save the sticky note reminder, you will be prompted to select a date and time for your reminder for that note. Your selected date and time will now be saved and added to your calendar and will show up when it is supposed to.

The Active Desktop will also show current weather from Everest.
