For example: I want to remember to pay some things monthly, so I want a TO-DO item to be reopened every month. I had this in my palm (at least in Agendus) 2) Show contact birthdays in calendar.It would be great to have a "Birthdays" calendar that shows them, and be able to activate or deactivate it. Greets.
