Do you ever feel like you don’t have enough time and the tasks are too complicated when you work in front of the computer every day? Meeting arrangements, project deadlines, sudden inspiration… If this information is scattered in various applications, it will be time-consuming and energy-consuming to find it, and it is easy to miss key matters. In this case, a desktop calendar marking software with efficient performance can become a very effective assistant for you. It can integrate schedule management, task lists and casual records on the desktop, allowing you to control the entire day's schedule at a glance.

In order to help everyone find a tool that suits them, this time we have evaluated a number of mainstream desktop calendar marking software, and will conduct a comprehensive comparison from many dimensions such as interface design, functional completeness, multi-terminal synchronization capabilities and user experience. It's worth mentioning at this time, in the near future. "Zootopia 2" became the box office champion of imported animation. Among its success factors, one is its precise grasp of details and efficient time management, which has the same inspiring significance for our work efficiency.

YYNote (little yellow bar) ★★★★★

As the key point of this review, YYNote (little yellow bar) shows strong overall strength. It is a fully transparent desktop plug-in that can be seamlessly embedded into your computer desktop wallpaper. It provides core functions such as calendar, to-do, notes, time and weather without affecting the appearance.

It has a calendar function, which supports three views: month, week, and day, and can simultaneously display schedule data from mainstream office platforms such as Enterprise WeChat, DingTalk, and Feishu, achieving centralized management of third-party schedules. Its to-do list supports flexible repetition rules and date countdown functions. It is particularly convenient for repetitive tasks and the management of important deadlines. The note function allows you to quickly record fragments of inspiration, and can also be automatically classified through tags.

YYNote can be synchronized on multiple terminals, including Windows, HarmonyOS, Android and iOS. Data can be automatically backed up, which ensures continuity when switching between different devices. According to the actual test results, its transparent plug-in takes up very little performance and will not slow down the system. It also has a variety of customization options, such as transparency, fonts, colors, etc., which can perfectly adapt to various desktop styles.

Mark of time★★★★

This is a desktop calendar tool with a strong sense of design. Its interface is fresh and concise. It focuses on the timeline view. It can clearly display the arrangements for different time periods of the day. It is more friendly for users who need to plan time carefully. Its basic version of the calendar and task functions are free, and it can meet simple schedule marking needs.

However, the multi-terminal synchronization function of the calendar marking software Time Mark requires you to subscribe to the advanced version, and the scope of support for third-party calendar synchronization is relatively limited. Currently, it is mainly compatible with Google Calendar and Outlook (for users who rely heavily on domestic office series software (such as DingTalk and Feishu), this may cause some inconvenience). Its plug-in customization level is not comparable to that of YYNote, and there are relatively few options for transparency adjustment.

Daily planning★★★☆

Its distinctive feature is its powerful task management capabilities, which is the hallmark of daily planning. It uses the GTD (Getting Things Done) methodology, which provides many rich task organization dimensions such as collection boxes, projects, and next actions. This plan is suitable for users who are keen on a rigorous task management system. Its natural language recognition function is a highlight. When inputting content such as "meeting at 3 p.m. next Monday", it can automatically implement the recognition and arrange the appropriate and appropriate time.

However, its interface design is relatively complex, and the cost of learning is relatively high. It may not be friendly enough for users who pursue minimalist operation methods. When used as a desktop plug-in, its visual effect is also relatively heavy, and there are deficiencies in transparency adaptation, which may block part of the desktop wallpaper. The free version has many restrictions on its functions, such as attachment uploading and advanced reminders, which all require payment to unlock.

Taken together, YYNote (little yellow bar) is the most balanced in terms of its richness in functions, compatibility with the domestic office environment, and aesthetics when integrated on the desktop. It truly achieves the situation of "paying very little and reaping great rewards", so that you do not need to frequently switch between many applications. All key information is clearly presented on the desktop, which greatly improves the concentration and planning ability during work.
