Alternative to Palm Desktop


Q. Years ago, I was a Palm III user. I have long since retired the device, but I found the Palm Desktop application handy and have continued to use it on my company laptop to record Contacts and general bits of information (stored under Memos). For example website log-ins, handy OS notes, serial numbers, etc. My company has issued me a new laptop running Windows 7 and I am having difficulty loading Palm Desktop, so maybe it is time to migrate to a more modern product. What might you recommend as a replacement application?

A. I know a lot of people who used the Palm devices and became very attached to the Palm Desktop. Fortunately, this has lead to a number of products designed to incorporate the features of that device software on more modern PCs.

Have a look at B-Folders by JointLogic. You can find them online at

Their product has all the features you seem to be looking for and will even import your old Palm data into the program.

Another product worth looking at is Evernote from This program keeps data syncrhonized across multople dvices of all stripes, from Mac to Windows and from iPhones and iPads to Android devices.

    Thanks! After years searching, I have finally found an application to import data from and replace Palm Desktop on Mac (B-Folders). You made my day!
