The new Bento 3 software from FileMaker allows you to organize your files and your life without having to learn a new program. Bento makes it easy to connect your address book, iCal and even iPhoto or Excel files. Its a great program to keep you organized and on top of your schedule on a day to day basis. With the new built-in templates you can easily organize your contacts, projects, to-dos and mailing lists. It’s a great tool to plan special events like birthdays and weddings.
One of my favorite parts of Bento 3 is that you can organize and maintain your photos on your computer. The best part is that it reads from your iPhoto library so you don’t have to import your photos into Bento 3. It allows you to add much more detail for each of your photos than in iPhoto. With the grid view it looks almost exactly like iPhoto.
I was skeptical at first because I wasn’t sure if I needed another program to keep my files organized. After using Bento 3 for a little while I found that is wasn’t very hard to learn the program and I was surprised how well it connected with my other programs. I have to say the thing I use most is the integration with iPhoto, but the way it creates simple and quick visual planning, it’s great. I would recommend this program to anyone looking to get better organized with their daily life and organize their thoughts and ideas in a simple and easy to use program.
Bento 3 is available in a Single-Pack for $49.99 or in a Family-Pack (five installs) for $99.99!
