AstonSoft has announced the release of EssentialPIM Pro 6.0 and EssentialPIM Free 6.0 for Windows, and EssentialPIM 3.5 for Android, the latest editions of its popular information manager.

The Android build sees significant improvements, including Contacts support and the ability to set start and due times, as well as dates, for to dos.

There’s also a new start screen, assorted interface improvements and “numerous” bug fixes, while the Pro version can now show to dos in the calendar.

In EssentialPIM 6.0, smarter views now optionally show start/ end appointment times, and allow to dos to be sorted by Due Date.

EssentialPIM 6.0 is packed with small but welcome enhancements

A new Quick Filter bar and additional advanced filters make it easier to zoom in on the emails you need.

A smart Passwords option to clear the clipboard after an adjustable timeout should help to protect your logons.

EssentialPIM Pro 6.0 gains a new “Week Agenda” view, while Month views now have an adjustable number of weeks.

The Pro version can also automatically type passwords into web forms. It’s able to create to dos or appointments from selected text, and extended search features mean you can now search over custom fields, and save and apply search templates.

EssentialPIM Pro 6.0 is available as a free update to anyone with a lifetime license, or who purchased a “1 year of free updates” license after October 1, 2013 (click Help > About to check the dates for your installation).

EssentialPIM Free 6.0 is of course free to everyone, and downloads of each edition are available now.
