I never used Lotus Agenda, but I’m told it was a popular productivity tool for MS-DOS in the late 80s. I’ve been on a retro software rediscovery kick lately, so I’ve decided to give it a whirl and write about my experiences. There is something that appeals to me about using long-abandoned software. Perhaps it’s update fatigue, there’s certainly no need to dread a major update breaking something!
Regardless, I’ve always enjoyed finding new productivity tools to try out, and I’m not afraid of steep learning curves or getting my hands dirty. I’ll usually choose powerful and flexible software over simplicity.
At the moment I mostly use taskwarrior, but I’ve lost count of all the others I’ve tried!

Agenda is a PIM, a Personal Information Manager. That term has fallen out of fashion, I think a quick summary might be “anything that manages those small pieces of information we all deal with”. Things like contacts, todo lists, notes, and so on.
I found a 1989 episode of the TV show Computer Chronicles that discussed how people thought about PIMs at the time.
At the 21-minute mark there’s a demonstration of Lotus Agenda, but it’s not easy to follow, watch the clip and you’ll see what I mean. Still, you do see some interesting features:
Some form of NLP is used to extract dates and names from free-form text.
Categories are a little like what we would call tags today.
You can create custom dashboards called views.
Apparently this was an $800 software package (That’s $395 adjusted for inflation from 1989), yikes! You don’t have to pay that, Lotus made it available for free when development ceased.
In preparation for trying out Agenda, I found a copy of the original manuals on eBay for a few dollars. Just look at this monster, the user guide alone is over 700 pages, that’s not including the supplementary guides. The supplements I have are Working with Macros, Working with Definition Files, Setting up Agenda, and a few miscellaneous leaflets.
I guess that’s my bedtime reading taken care of for a while. I actually received the macro reference still in the original shrink wrap, it almost seems a shame to open it!
The Evolution of Well-Being: Integrating Body Positivity and a Wellness Lifestyle
The Conflict Between Traditional Wellness and Body Positivity
Experiencing discrimination or shame based on body size triggers high levels of cortisol (the stress hormone). This chronic stress directly undermines physical health and frequently deters individuals from seeking necessary medical care. Overcoming Obstacles to Radical Acceptance
If you hate the treadmill, get off it. Body positivity encourages "joyful movement"—physical activity that you actually enjoy. Whether it’s a dance class, a hike with friends, gardening, or restorative yoga, movement should feel like a celebration of what your body can do, not a penalty for its appearance. 2.

Furthermore, the magazine is an integral part of the broader story of German FKK media, which is characterized by a fundamental ambiguity. The Liste von FKK-Zeitschriften (List of FKK Magazines) on Wikipedia notes that while the original goal of these publications was to promote health through social and nutritional reform, "in many places, the high-quality, revealing images ... likely boosted sales". It adds the crucial clarification that "the naturist ideal of nudism was only an excuse to present erotic nude photographs, especially of women or children". Jung und Frei represents the most extreme and condemnable outcome of this inherent ambiguity.
The movement gained significant traction in Germany during the 1920s and remained a distinctive part of cultural identity, particularly in East Germany (DDR), where it served as a subtle form of escape from a repressive state. Lebensreform Origins : FKK grew out of the broader Lebensreform

For those who seek out the "Nudist Wonderland Jung Und Frei Cd Photos," the appeal is often historical or nostalgic. The photographs themselves possess a distinct aesthetic. The images are typically black and white or soft-focus color, featuring groups or individuals in natural settings like beaches, forests, and meadows. The poses are often candid—playing volleyball, swimming, hiking, or simply relaxing in the sun—though some are clearly curated and staged.

You probably need to use other applications or services, and sync your data with your phone. Writing and reading files from outside DOSEMU is no problem, so if you just want to sync files this is no problem.
As it’s a terminal application you can also just SSH in and run it.
You probably also want to have your appointments sync with your calendar or something.
Export
There are two ways to export data from Agenda. If you have a commandline tool that you can pass arguments to, then you can write a macro that will invoke it.
Otherwise, you can export your data to a file.
Files
Agenda can export items to a format called STF, Structured Text File. The specification for that format is (mostly) documented in the manual, but it didn’t catch on.
I wrote a quick parser that can convert it to JSON, so now you can use modern tools like jq to manipulate and transform the data however you wish.
And so on, there are more examples in the README. If you can exchange data with other apps, you can now use stfjson to generate the correct format.
You can automate exports, Agenda has “Special Actions” in the category options. Alternatively, if it’s just a one off or for a macro, you can use the Transfer > Export command.
Commands
In DOSEMU, the UNIX command will invoke a shell command on the host.
C:\>unix uname
Linux
If there is a commandline tool that will import data, e.g. a TaskWarrior user might use task add drop off laundry at dry cleaners, then you can create a macro in Agenda that simply launches that command.
You can use something like {F10}ULUNIX task {TYPE;%TASKTEXT}.
Import
Surprisingly, Agenda supports importing arbitrary text data. One of the manuals that came with agenda was Working with Definition Files, which explains how to write a configuration file that allow Agenda to parse anything.
It even has a Regular Expression tutorial, pretty impressive for a 1980s consumer product.

I quite like Agenda. It does many things well, but it’s absolutely true you could replicate most of it’s functionality with modern tools. However, I do enjoy using it, and I’m a big enough nerd that I quite like the challenge of using retro software.
I think the closest modern equivalent to Agenda would be taskwiki. It’s not a perfect match, but if you liked some of what you saw here but are not interested in retro software, try it out!
I’m still using Agenda after two weeks, and about 40% of the way through the manual 😂
