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:
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!

She pulled a small envelope from her jacket. Cream-colored, no return address. Inside: a single photograph. Her, age ten, standing between two people who had taught her that love was a transaction and pain was the change you got back.
For the modern viewer seeking this specific experience, there are several legitimate avenues to acquire it:
In the world of online creative content, the "Dark Side" series by Anna Claire Clouds has established a reputation for its high-production value and atmospheric storytelling. Part 14 continues this trend, maintaining the "Extra Quality" (XQ) standard that fans of the creator have come to expect. 🎬 Production Standards
Released in late 2024, is a high-profile feature presentation in the adult industry. The production is stylized around high-intensity, extreme fantasy scenarios, moving away from standard gonzo or narrative parodies into more boundary-pushing content.
Clicking "Download" or "Stream in HD" on unverified platforms often triggers aggressive browser redirects, pop-up scams, or phishing links.
They drove through streets still slick and bright, the city’s secrets humming behind glass and in gutters. Anna Claire watched the reflection of the passing lights and understood that the dark side of clouds was not an absence of light but a place where light bent, concentrated, and sometimes revealed the sharpest edges of truth.
If you're not having luck with a standard search, try these creative methods.
Because automated bots track rising or highly specific search queries, cybercriminals often create dummy websites matching these exact titles. Users searching for a downloadable file or a hidden streaming link may instead encounter:
These editions often feature elaborate combinations of roleplay and physical performance, moving beyond standard sequences to create a more comprehensive story or theme.
She let the breath leave her with a soft, humorless sound. Memory opened like a seam—small, precise images that insisted on appearing: the way the café light had warmed his collarbone; the way he laughed with both hands; the thinness of the letter she’d found folded in his coat. None of it made sense now. None of it fit the hard geometry of the lie she'd traced.
“I wanted to,” she said. “I wanted to know which version of you I’d been living with.”
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.
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.
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.
You can download it here, here are some examples.
$ ./stfjson < transfer.stf | jq '.[].items[].text'$ ./stfjson < transfer.stf | jq '.[].items[] | select(.categories[].name=="\\When")'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.
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}.
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 😂
