GMinder brings Google Calendar alerts to your desktop

Google Calendar may be a handy tool for keeping track of upcoming appointments because you can open it from any web browser. But sometimes a desktop tool can be more effective, because you don't need to open a web site to glance at your upcoming meetings.

GMinder is a desktop utility for Windows that hangs out in your system tray and sends you an alert when a Google Calendar appointment is nearing. You can also click the button to bring up a window with a list of upcoming appointments.

You can configure GMinder to work with any calendars linked to your account. In order to set up GMinder, just enter your Google username and password and click the download button to grab a list of available calendars. Click the check boxes next to the ones you want to see. You can also assign each calendar a color to make it easy to tell which calendar each appointment is linked with.
