• AddressAccess 2
  AddressAccess 2 offers fast and flexible searching in Names along with an improved way of viewing/editing the data stored in Names. To be fully compatible it uses the same data as the built-in Names app. V2 is a redesigned version of the well-known V1.6 to take full advantage of OS2.x.S
• Assist Todos
  Using the Assist feature of the Newton is a great time saver except when Assist takes longer to figure out what to do with the phrase than it would take for you to enter it yourself. Assist Todos makes using Assist with todo fun again. No more waiting for Assist to process a phrase, to tell you it can't interpret the phrase, or that the phrase is too long. -- Shareware
• Cadenza
  Cadenza is a Lotus Notes addon product that allows a proprietary PDA's native mail, calendar and address book applications to exchange data with their counterparts in Notes. With Cadenza, PDA data is synchronized with the Notes server via either a remote (e.g. dial-up, ISDN, GSM) link or a local connection to a network attached "companion" PC. In addition, Cadenza allows users to log on to Notes, browse and search relevant Notes views and select documents for download to their PDA. As a safeguard against accidental data and/or PDA loss, Cadenza also provides the facility to backup/restore any PDA data to/from a special repository database on the Notes server. -- Commercial (download not available)

• Isaacs Dates
  Isaac's Dates is an excellent replacement for your Newton's built-in Dates application created by the German company Rindle & Partner GmbH. Many think it is much better than Wake Up Week or DateMan, because of its intuitive graphic user interface. -- Commercial (demo available for download)
• Life Balance
  Life Balance is software for the Newton that helps people with very complex to-do lists set priorities. Items on a to-do list can have a high priority for different reasons: because they are important, because the deadline is near-at-hand, because you are in the right place to take action, or because you have been neglecting the task. Life Balance uses fuzzy logic techniques to balance these conflicting goals and provide you with a simple, sorted list of tasks that you can do right here, right now. Screen snapshots and demo software available. -- Commercial (demo available for download)
• MoreInfo and PowerNames
  MoreInfo is a powerful integrated contact manager which seemlessly extends the Newton's built-in applications. MoreInfo links all of the Newton's built-in pieces of information to any person or company in your Name File. With MoreInfo, you can link meetings, events, To Dos, calls and ANY piece of Notepad stationery to any given person or company. -- Commercial (demo available for download)
• NamePrinter
  A Newton package that creates an address book listing or address labels from your Names soup. Output can be formatted in 1, 2, or 3 columns using a choice of several fonts and font sizes. Margins are adjustable. All names can be printed or just the names in a folder. -- Freeware

  A flat-file database/to do manager for the Newton. NotePak includes fields for Priority, Category, Date Due, Completed, Contact (with links to the built in Names application), Subcategory (up to 20 user defined subcategories per category), Start Date/Time, Completed Date/Time, Alarm time, and a text field. Most of the fields in NotePak are popups, checkboxes, or sliders; this allows for very fast data entry.
• NotesOrg 3.0
  The Project & Information Manager is probably the most complete project and information mananger available for the Newton OS. It lets you plan and manage your projects by setting and controlling a time frame for each project. And - even better - it lets you add all the different objects of information that already exist on your MessagePad to your project as you need them. It does not matter if it is a card, a note, a meeting, a to-do, a call, a fax, an e-mail message... Everything can be linked to your projects or even be created right from the project to be automatically linked to it. All this makes NotesOrg 3.0 a perfect information manager for you to work with.
• Notion
  Notion 1.5 helps you organize both business and personal information. Business meetings, travel plans, to-do lists, and project dates can easily be organized, sorted, and prioritized. For personal use; movies you want to see, books you want to read, exercise logs, shopping lists, and wine buying information can be kept close at hand.
• Now Synchronize
  Stay up-to-date anytime, anywhere. With Now Synchronize, you can integrate your Now Up-to-Date & Contact data with your Apple Newton so that they contain the same information. Think of you'll have access to your important events and contacts whether you're in the office or on the road. You can change the information on your Newton when you're traveling, then merge it with Now Up-to-Date & Contact when you return to the office. You never have to type the same information twice!
• Phone Memo
  Phone Memo helps you manage your phone calls. It adds an additional item in the "New" menu in the NotePad that creates notes especially setup to handle phone calls. I hear you ask, "Why have stationery when you can use the Calls Application?" Good Question. Here are my answers:
  • I spend most of my time in the NotePad and wanted something integrated with it
  • I wanted alarms to remind me to call someone.
  • I wanted to jump to the person's Name card quickly.
  • I wanted new people to be added into the Names app for me.
• PhoneMemo 2.1
  NotePad Stationery for Newton 2.0 systems. Phone Memo helps you manage your phone calls. It adds an additional item in the "New" menu in the NotePad that creates notes especially setup to handle phone calls.
• PIMple 2.6
  Display AND Schedule your Meetings, Events and Todos from a small "desktop" calendar. PIMple will put a 'PIM" button onto your backdrop application. Tap it and a Month view picker will appear in the upper left corner of the Newt that automatically pops (excuse the pun!) up the current day's schedule (Events, meetings todos). Pick any date to display that day's schedule. It will also show SPACES between meetings not scheduled directly after another and show meetings with CONFLICTING times using a "-- ! !" next to them. -- Freeware
• Quicknames PRO v 3.0
  The award winning application that provides a significantly faster and more flexible interface to your names. Quicknames Pro 3.0 works in tandem with the Newton names application to provide a SIGNIFICANTLY faster and more flexible interface to your names file. Building on the success of v2.1 Quicknames Pro 3.0 has been completely redesigned for the Newton 2.0 OS and provides many new and powerful features
• RollOver
  RollOver adds a button to CheckLists in the NotePad. When you tap this button, the checklist is split into two lists, one of completed items, and another of the unchecked items. That's it. It's very handy if you use the CheckList as a "running todo list" and each day you want to get rid of the things you've done the previous day.
• Session Scheduler
  This specialized application was written specifically for the MP2000 and is intended as an adjunct to the Dates application. Using popup menus and configurable lists of clients and studio names, a studio musician can enter new recording sessions into the Newton without having to write anything. Use the Week-at-a-glance button to see events for a week at a time; view events by day by clicking on the calendar. This application might not be much use to anyone but studio musicians, but who knows how it could be utilized...
• TimeTrax
  A replacement for the builtin Dates Application. -- Shareware
• TravelDate
  TravelDate helps you keep track of your flights. In the Dates application you create a new "TravelDate" from the New menu and fill out where and when you are going. TravelDate will automatically change the Newton's internal location at flight time so your time and area code are automatically changed. It can also give you a warning before the flight to make sure you get there on time...
• What to Do
  What to Do is an enhancement for the built-in ToDo manager which provides several powerful new features:
  • The ability to add notes to a ToDo item.
  • The ability to add several ToDo items in succession, without having to wade through the "new" menu every time.
  • The ability to add several ToDo items in succession, without having to wade through the new menu every time.
  • The ability to quickly add ToDo items, without having to launch the Dates app first, either by interpreting selected text, or by entering data into a quick data entry slip.
• What'sUp 1.02
  What'sUp is a small app that provides a week's overview of the contents of Newt's calendar and to-do list. Using What'sUp is extrmely simple since there's not much you can do. When it opens, What'sUp displays an overview of the upcoming week. Within each day, notes are shown at the top, then appointments, then to-do items. If there's more than will fit on the screen, you can scroll using Newt's scroll arrows to see the remainder. In the top-most day, which is always today, a little triangular arrow appears of there are any appointments scheduled. It points to where the time that What'sUp was opened falls in the list of appointments. -- Freeware
• zNames+ 1.69
  A utility to make additions to the names file quick and easy. No select "Names", "new", add this and add that. Now, one tap and you can add a First, Last and company name. Home phone, fax and e-mail address. With one more tap you can add the entire address. zNames+ will not replace the existing Names program, but it will make adding new entries quick and easy. And, to add to the ease of use you need only to tap just above and a little to the left of the names icon to launch the application in either portrait or landscape mode.
