Application is rather large, so if you have a slow internet connection, you’ll have to wait a bit longer to download, but the wait is more than worth it. What you see above is the default window which waits for you after starting up TimeGT for the first time. Like I already mentioned you will have to register a free online account, or you can opt out for a paid account, which will set you back for around 5 euros per month, but you get the following benefits with a paid account:

The account upgrade from the free account to the paid account is automatic, and you will not have to download a different application, the one you use with the free account can be simply switched to the paid account type, where all of the above options are present. For now we’re just gonna have a look at the free version of TimeGT, which offers you task and time management locally on your computer, and it has everything that the paid version has, but without the online sync and backup of information.

Using this time management utility is very simple, the first step to use this program is to login, after the online account is created. This has to be done even if you use the free account, for protection sake.

TimeGT logging in

Since people will probably store sensitive data inside the program, protection is very important, so much so that there is no password recovery option. In case you’ve forgotten your password, you will not be able to recover it, so make sure that you remember it, otherwise you’ll lose your account and all the tasks and schedules that you might have stored inside it.

TimeGT categories

After the initial program startup, you’ll be asked to populate the schedule with some basic tasks which you can see on the image above. Using TimeGT with auto fill out is a great way of getting familiar with this time organizer. Imported tasks will be sorted in categories on the left, you can just edit them or add new ones by clicking on the New Task field:

TimeGT adding task completed

Here you can also see the Completed list of tasks, which is where tasks which you are done with will be placed.

WhatsApp is a very popular messaging application which you can use in order to send free SMS and chat for free with your contacts. A lot of smartphone users have probably come across WhatsApp, because it is only available on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, basically it’s only available on smartphone operating systems, and all those who were interested in running it on the desktop PCs had to give up on that idea, up until now.

WhatsApp default window

What you see above is WhatsApp loading in Windows 7, and it’s running there with the help of a very useful application called BlueStacks. BlueStacks allows you to run Android applications on both Windows and Mac, it will emulate the Android environment thus allowing you to install and test drive Android applications, which makes it perfect for installation and usage of WhatsApp on desktops and even Macs.

How to run WhatsApp on Windows and Mac

The first step to running WhatsApp on a desktop PC would be to install the aforementioned BlueStacks application where you will be installing WhatsApp. Follow this link to the BlueStacks download site where you can get your hands on the installer, which will configure everything automatically.

After you have BlueStacks up and running, it’s time to install WhatsApp, do that by clicking on the Apps icon, see the image above, and from the window that pops up, find WhatsApp and install it there. Installation should place the icon of WhatsApp somewhere on the BlueStacks window, look it up and of course click on it.

Terms of use window should pop up, click Agree and Continue, which will lead you to the add number step:

WhatsApp adding number

We didn’t say this in the introduction, but in order for WhatsApp to work properly it needs to be attached to a number. Here we come to a problem, since there is no way to use you number on your computer, well there are, but there aren’t any way to connect it to the WhatsApp installed inside the BlueStacks.

Despite all that enter your phone number here, your actual phone number. WhatsApp will then try to send message to itself in order to confirm that the phone number is real. Since the computer has no card, no connectivity to your carrier and error will come up, that good, because then you will be offered to confirm the number via a call, do this.

The call will be received on your actual phone, an automated message should tell you a 3 digit code which you will have to enter inside the window and that way your number will be confirmed.

Conclusion

Once that you receive the confirmation phone call and after the code is entered you will be able to use WhatsApp on your Windows or Mac machine. Sending messages and chatting should work the same way that it worked on an actual phone, so if you are interested in running WhatsApp on a desktop PC, this is the way to do it. Everything can be downloaded for free, so it doesn’t cost you anything to try it, except a little bit of time.

Click on save and your text would be saved and protected. You will be brought back to the main window where it is recommended to change the password of the program as per your choice. You could do so by clicking on change password at the left side of the main screen. This pops up a new window asking you to enter your old password and the new one which you wish to assign to use this application. A few more fields need to be entered and you have personalized the software only for exclusive use of the people authorized.

Finally when you are done carrying out all the above steps it's time to click on the Lock option just beside the Unlock option at the left side of the program window. This will unlock your text and the program which could only be accessed again when you Unlock the application with the password assigned. You need to close the program and the next time you need to access the data just open the .exe file again and Unlock it using your password. Download Text Protector free.
