Chandler is an open source Note-to-Self Organizer. It features calendaring, task and note management and consists of a desktop application, web application and a free sharing and back-up service called Chandler Hub. A Preview version of the software was released on September 10, 2007.

Chandler is being developed by the Open Source Applications Foundation. The main programming language is Python, and it runs under Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. It is named after the mystery novelist Raymond Chandler, and inspired by a PIM from the 1980s called Lotus Agenda.

According to the OSAF, the goal is to serve the way people actually work, independently and together, particularly in small groups, a traditionally underserved market segment. The belief is that personal and collaborative information work is by nature iterative and that the existing binary Done/Not-Done, Read/Unread, Flagged/Unflagged paradigm in productivity software poorly accommodates the reality of how people work.

Web sharing and collaboration is enabled via the Chandler Hub.

Chandler Desktop and Chandler Hub are cross-platform and standards-based. The Chandler Server provides web access to shared information that makes it easy for collaborators to hook into Chandler workflows without having to download the Desktop application.

    Neat app, but too little too late?
    a.medlin

    I was looking for a good app that would allow me to do pretty much what Chandler claimed it offered - keep track of appointments and people, manage my tasks, todos and calendar items, and allow me to collaborate with others.


    Unfortunately, I don't think Chandler is quite there yet. On my Mac, I found that Leopard's mail.app integration with iCal really has everything one would need. You can add on the Mail Tags (not free or OSS) plugin and you have everything that Chandler claims it offers. However, without having access to emails (unless you want to use Chandler for mail), it is just too little too late, in my opinion. Google Calendar and Gmail, or Mail.app and iCal will pretty much do what Chandler can, but on the Mac especially, the integration of Mail.app with your calendar pretty much has you all the way there.


    The collaboration features seemed neat, but I really found most members on my 4-person team just moving back to emails for collaboration, since they were indexed, easy to search, easy to forward and left a 'paper' trail. For those looking for groupware - keep looking, until a stable version of Chandler is out.
