A brief introduction to Pagico

Read on if you’re new to Pagico, because this article will show you how Pagico manage your life with deadly simple & cool features.

Pagico manages two types of info

Briefly, Pagico divides your info into 2 types: data and people. “Data” is what you deal with on your computer everyday, including project plans, research papers, things to do, etc. “People” refers to your important relations, including your friends, coworkers, clients, students or teachers.

Pagico uses “topics” for you to organize and store all kinds of data, and “relations” for you to manage your relations.

What’s in a topic, anyway?

As you can see from the screenshot, a topic can contain texts, lists, images and files. Beyond all these “contents” you add, Pagico generates relevant footnotes including related people, folders, and activities.

How to categorize your writeboards?

Basically, we think “tags” are more efficient and flexible for categorizing your topics. Let’s say, you can tag your party plan as “party, birthday”. Then you can browse all topics tagged with “Party” or with “birthday” to see all parties you’ve planned, or all birthdays you’ve participated. Now you can see it’s much better than folders, one of your old ways of categorizing.

Good. But you really need folders some times. So you can use “folders”, just like its name, organize a set of topics of your choice. You can just choose topics manually like you would do to typical folders, or create a “smart folder” and set up rules so that Pagico can select the contents automatically(i.e., include all topics tagged with “party”, modified within this month).

You can set a “smart folder” to be “Auto Updating” so that its content will be updated on the fly.

What about the “Relations”?

As you can see from the screenshot, you can manage contact-specific tasks and activities, as well as contact info, in a profile. So Pagico behaves like a relation management system rather than a address book.

How to manage schedules?

After playing with Pagico for minutes, probably you’ve already noticed that there is not a “calendar” in Pagico. But how to manage schedules in Pagico?

It’s easy — Pagico allows you to add time info to tasks and events in your topics and contacts, and reminds you of tasks when needed.
Besides, you can browse your schedule in “Dashboard”, it’s just like your agenda.

Stay on top of your business

As you can see from the screenshots above, Pagico puts upcoming(nearest) and overdue tasks on the side bar to keep you reminded. You’re always 1 click away from the topics or people the tasks belonged to, or just check them when they’re done.

Don’t forget you can browse all your schedules in Pagico right from your favorite calendar application.

Wait. Where should my quick notes go?

Good question. We’ve designed a shiny feature, named “Stickies”. Just like the name, you have deadly simple and quick notes in Pagico. You can add stickies on the side bar no matter where you are.

To simplify the categorization of stickies, we designed 8 shiny colors. And when a sticky becomes valuable to a topic or a people, you can insert the sticky to it by just a few clicks.

Stickies can be “checked”. So it could be perfect for making instant todo lists.
