Flagship applications
Common for Profeo applications is that they have been designed as "set-and-forget" utilities - once you set them up, you will rarely need to start them again. Another common feature of all Profeo programs, is that they are flexible - almost any functionality can be disabled if you don't want it.

Profeo SystemAlarms alows you to define a number of alarms, based on the remaining capacity of the battery, the main memory or the expansion card. When the remaining capacity drops below user defined levels, an Attention Manager notification is displayed, which mey be accompanied by a sound or vibration. The last version adds several alarm levels and also has the option to replace the standard PalmOS low battery warning with Attention Manager notification. Profeo SA is compatible with all handhelds with PalmOS 4.0 or higher and it will automatically adjust for the cases when the handheld doesn't support a particular feature of the program (e.g., vibration).

Profeo 600 Lite is profile manager for Treo 600. It has been designed for people, who have more sophisticated needs than just two modes of operation for the light and the radio. Profeo 600 Lite provides up to four profiles, that can be switched automatically for much better tuning of Treo 600 to your preferences. Profeo 600 Lite supports hotkey overriding of the current settings to make up for cases when the default schedule is not what you need at the moment.

Profeo 600 "Dark Edition" is an extended (shareware) version of  Profeo 600 Lite, which is currently being designed, but I have no fixed release plans about it yet. Ideally, it will have the following extended/additional features - multiple expanded profiles with autoswitching, SMS/VM notifications, call forwarding control, volume/sounds control and other. Please stay tuned for more information.

Concept applcations:
In this category fall Profeo RadioControl, Profeo LightControl, and Profeo LineSwitch. Please go to the Concept Applications page for more information and instructions.


Profeo 600 Lite
Profeo 600 Lite is a simple profile manager, which provides 4 profiles, that can be switched automatically. For each of the profiles can be configured the desired radio state,  display brightness, keyboard/display backlight and display diming options. Additionally, at any time the current state can be overriden by using the application hotkey. The latest release of  Profeo 600 Lite is:
Profeo 600 Lite (P600LT.prc) v0.8.7.1
(The 0.9.2 beta is available only in the Downloads section of  mytreo.net !)
This text has not been completely updated for version 0.9 yet !

Version 0.9 has new preference structure, so you will have to recreate your profiles. New in this version is the ability to apply software mute for the profiles or through the hotkey. It is also possible to select two daytime brightness levels through the hotkey override form.
Verison 0.8.7.1 adds "light previews", phone ringer volume control, and fixes all known bugs.
Version 0.8.5 introduces hotkey support (currently only the light mode and the radio can be adjusted - the sound options will be available in next releases) and some graphic controls in the profile edit form. I would appreciate all feedback regarding the new features, especially the hotkey funcitonality. Please send me feedback if you find the provided override options useful, are they fast to use, what else would you like to see on this form, are the controls intuitive and easy to handle, etc.

Known issues:
  1. If an override is requested while in the phone or the sms application, the keyboard backlight may be incorrect when you switch to other applications. The main reason for this is that these applications have their own light control and thus interfere with Profeo 600 Lite. If this happens, a workaround is to turn off and back on your Treo to alow it to reestablish its light settings. This will be fixed in one of the next releases.

Profeo SystemAlarms
Profeo SystemAlarms v0.6 is a system alarm application for any handheld with PalmOS4.0 or above. It allows you to set up to 5 alarms based on the battery, memory and expansion card remaining capacity, each with different trigger level (2-50%). You can set multiple alarms for the same parameter (battery, etc.), each with different level and alarm notification options. The program will check every 30 minutes the current state of  the alarm triggers. When an alarm has been triggered, the program will notify you about this condition through the PalmOS attention manager. It is possible to chose if the alarms should be insistent or subtle. These alarms can be acknowledged by using the standard Attention Manager buttons. If you press OK in the Attention Manager dialog, then the alarm will be acknowledged and dimissed. If you press snooze, then it will change to the small star in the title bar.


If you chose GoTo, you will go to a form, which will show you the memory and battery levels and is shows you the state of each of the alarms - normal, triggered, acknowledged. The form allows you to acknowledge all alarms or to reset all alarms to normal state. This form is also available in the main Profeo SA application.

NOTE: Starting from version 0.5.3, the SystemAlarms information screen is the default screen when you start Profeo SA. The program settings are now accessible through the menu !

You can also chose to automaticaly reset all alarms every day at noon, thus you will not forget that they have been triggered. All acknowledges will persist device reset.

Profeo SA should be compatible with any handheld with PalmOS 4.0 or higher. If the handheld doesn't have VFS support, then it will not be possible to set card alarms. Additionally, if the devices doesn't have vibration, then it will not br possible to use vibration reminders.

Instalation instructions
Before installing Profeo SA v0.6, please disable and delete any previous version of the program. In order to install Profeo SA you just have to HotSync it by using your favorite HotSyng program. By default all Profeo program are placed in the "Utilities" group in the standard PalmOS Application Launcher.

Known issues:
1. 5-way navigation works only on Treo 600 smartphones. This might be fixed in a future release of the program, but is not a high-priority item.
