Desktop iCalendar Lite is a free utility that helps you keep track of your daily tasks, create to-do lists, set reminders, and so much more. The application consists of 3 windows: Calendar, Events, and Todos. Keeping them all on your desktop will help you be on schedule at all times and easily manage your daily task data.
This program gives you access to various settings for customizing the appearance of its main screens. For instance, you can change the background image of the aforementioned windows, select another text color, etc. The app also offers you an option to always keep its screens on top of other running programs.
Another useful advantage is that you can create as many calendars as you like. For example, you can build a calendar for office. Add business meetings as events and assignments as to-do items. And you can create a different calendar for personal needs where you can monitor household chores, birthday events, etc.
A disadvantage is that it supports only one audio formats - WAV (audio format supported for importing files for alarm sounds). Another thing that's worth mentioning is that there's a Pro version of the app which provides you with more features (for example, the ability to sync stored data across Google Calendar service), but comes with a price.
Personally, I prefer using this Lite version of the program as it offers me all the features I need. But if you're the kind of user who needs to constantly check calendar details, no matter your location, I'd suggest you to try the Pro version of the app.

Sync Yahoo! Calendar, iPhone with Desktop iCalendar
After a month of hard work, we are pleased to announce the new release of Desktop iCalendar. It adds support for syncing Yahoo! Calendar with Desktop iCalendar via CalDav protocol.
To add Yahoo! Calendar is quite easy, just follow below steps:
1. Right click the calendar select Manage Calendar…
2. Click “New…” button.
3. Select “CalDav Calendar” and click Next
4. Select “CalDav Calendar on Yahoo!” and click Next
5. Input your Yahoo! account info and the calendar name, click Finish to add the calendar.
To sync your iPhone calendar with Desktop iCalendar via Yahoo! is also very easy.
If you have the new iPhone 3.0 Firmware and have switched to the new Yahoo Calender via http://switch.calendar.yahoo.com you can add the calendar via Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Add Account -> Other ->Add CalDAV Account. Use caldav.calendar.yahoo.com as the server.(From Yahoo! Answers)
Yahoo! Calendar supports syncing To-do list, which is better than Google Calendar. I do not know why Google keeps Task API as a secret. There is a feature request on Google forum which has been 1 year now. More than hundred people asked Google to release Task API, but nobody responds it.
