This is DejalNews<\/em>, an occasional newsletter from Dejal<\/a>.<\/p>\n Want to get this newsletter in your inbox? Sign up on the Dejal site<\/a>.<\/p>\n My wife had a need of an app. As you may know, we travel around the country in a motorhome<\/a>, which means booking RV parks. We like to plan a year or so out, and book popular places as soon as they become available, so we get the best spot (or any spot if really popular). But each campground has a different booking window; sometimes six months, sometimes 180 days (which is not the same thing!), sometimes 90 days, etc.<\/p>\n To make the reservation on the right day, we used to ask a digital assistant like Alexa or Siri to calculate 180 days (or whatever) before the date we want to stay, then add a reminder on that date. But what if that could be one step? I wrote Preminder<\/strong> to make that easier: simply enter the date of the stay (and optionally a time), and choose from a preset list of intervals, or a custom one for unusual cases, and add the reminder on the appropriate date. Easy!<\/p>\n Preminder is useful for more than just campsites, though; you could use it to remind you of concert or game tickets, birthdays, holidays, or any other situation where you want a reminder some time before an event.<\/p>\n What\u2019s more, Preminder is completely free, available for iPhone, so there\u2019s no risk to download and try it.<\/p>\n Learn more on the Preminder site<\/a>, or get it now<\/a>.<\/p>\n Another recent app had an update too. Weather Events<\/strong> is another app I wrote to scratch my own itch, and useful with our traveling lifestyle.<\/p>\n As we travel around the country in our motorhome, I like to keep a record of the weather conditions of where we are, as all-day events on my calendar. I live my life by my calendar, so find it useful to be able to see the weather there. (And also in the menubar on my Mac.)<\/p>\n A key feature of Weather Events is that each day can have a different location; great for people who travel a lot like me, but useful for other when they go on vacation too.<\/p>\n Version 1.1 of Weather Events has a big enhancement that makes the app much easier to use: it will (optionally) automatically change the location based on calendar events. If you have calendar events that include a location, Weather Events can see that and change the location; if there are multiple, it will choose the latest all-day event or longest timed event (and you can tell it whether to only look at all-day or timed events, or both).<\/p>\n This update also includes a bunch of other improvements and fixes, too. Learn more about this update<\/a>.<\/p>\n Weather Events is available on the App Store for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and visionOS. It has a monthly or yearly subscription, and a free two week trial.<\/p>\n Try it now<\/a>!<\/p>\n I recently published a Time Out tip, based on a customer query. They wanted to have a countdown in the menubar for remaining time in the work day. Time Out is very flexible, so I was able to accommodate that request.<\/p>\nIntroducing Preminder, a new free Dejal app<\/h3>\n
