Widget Watch: Get Organized for free
Those wizards of widgets at iSlayer have come up with yet another really useful tool for the Dashboard. Organized is a free widget with an event calendar, world clock, notes, and to-dos, all of which are synced to iCal and Mail. As with other iSlayer widgets like iStat menus/nano/pro, it is obvious that a lot of thought went into the design of the user interface for Organized. It packs a lot of data into a very small widget and even has a feature I immediately turned on -- the ability to shut off Marker Felt as the default font for Notes.
If you download, install, and use Organized, consider sending these guys a donation so they'll continue to develop great stuff for us.

Nice, I will definitely use this. I think it's quite handy.

These guys rocks.
This just made me donate to them for the second time.
Their apps/widgets are so great and very very useful.
And Organizer is just another great app in the line of perfect, small and useful apps/widgets

I love istat menu, but it has a strange tendency to cause a kernel panic-esque freeze on my computer. Maybe the newer build fixes that?

Great, have been looking for a widget just like this for ages, had used 'iCal Events' before as it was the only one that i could find but it was really ugly! Apple should def buy off them and use it as a replacement to the silly iCal widget which is useless and serves no purpose..

All this still needs is a Start Week Monday option... :-)

Looks like a great widget, but it would be nice if it would access the Notes from Mail and not have it's own separate notes section.

Really like it, but there is a "bug" in it.
Adding a new To-Do doesn't show the new to-do unless you completely quit and restart dashboard (i.e. restarting your Mac)
Though the new added to-do does show in iCal.

I don't know if it is just me, but the widget is not working. It is just showing the Illustration of the gun in the violin case, the name and nothing more. Clicking on it doesn't do anything either. What am I missing here?

Are you using Leopard? This widget uses some 10.5 only features.

Click at the "i" of "information", then it will work.
Skeezle said 7:23AM on 7-05-2008
@ Marc - no, not using Leopard, I guess that is the problem.
Thanks.
