Not many software packages reach the eve of their 20th anniversary. Most are sold, absorbed by another, or fade into abandonware.

This puts EssentialPIM among the elite of personal organizers as we close in on 2025, two decades from its debut. The user community is vibrant, development is steady, and more features await.

More than 60 modifications to EPIM appeared in 2024, spread across two major (12.0 and 12.1) and ten minor releases.

We'll review a few of these here to represent the team's effort in 2024 to make EPIM an even more effective organizer.

We can't be certain, but shortcuts were likely among the first inventions.

Imagine the first hunter returning from his forage, meal in hand. "That was a good spot, but there must be a quicker way to get there," he thinks. And so begins the hunt for a shortcut.

We are no different with our software. We insist on any tool to help us work faster, be it shortcut keys, macros, quick-access toolbars, and the like.

EssentialPIM obliges. It has always had its share of shortcuts and quick action tools and has added more in the new release, version 12.0. For example, EPIM introduced the quick entry of Tasks in v11.5 and extended this feature to Notes in v11.7. Version 12 adds quick entry to the remaining modules: Calendar, Contacts, and Passwords.

And that's not all.
