Overview
When the main window is minimized, VueMinder
Calendar will continue to run in the background to ensure
reminders for approaching events are displayed, emailed, or sent
via text messages, as needed. VueMinder Calendar uses minimal
system resources while running in the background. CPU
utilization will usually be 0%. Memory use varies. It will
typically be around 30 MB, but can be as low as 5 MB.
