Recently Gmail launched a lab feature to include desktop notifications for new emails[1], chat in your inbox which works in chrome. If you are not an avid user of Google Calendar, then you should try it because now it convert it into a very powerful to do reminder app with desktop notifications for any task, event, meetings etc.
Use Google Calendar As Reminder Tool, Tray Notifier in Chrome
# Check out Checker Plus Lite for Google Calendar (Link) for Chrome
Quickly see your next meetings and add events with many options… a popup calendar, desktop reminders "like Outlook" that you can snooze, Google Apps, offline mode, voice notification, gray out past days…
And this is how you can use it to get tray notifications for Google calendar entries…Step 1 : Install the extension. Then Sign In with your Google account.
Step 2 : You can quickly add any reminder, event or to do list directly from the dropdown.
The Quick Add option lets you add any task, event, reminder or meeting etc to any date and time. It also sets reminders for the next few minutes or hours.
Step 3 : Once you reach the time of the reminder etc, a desktop tray notification is shown… which you can snooze or re-schedule.
Step 4 : Click the extension icon to access the options page. Set according to your preference… Default is fine though. (You can choose to show desktop notification with sound and speech narration.. cool)
I have started using this as my daily to do reminder application. Not only because I like tray notifications but its works so well with Google calendar. You can easily add entries, reminders to Google calendar from your mobile[2] device.
So now you can choose to have a common ToDo reminder system which is synced with the reminders set from your mobile device into Google calendar (which is very easy to use).
