Extract text from AnyTime Organizer files (ATW)
To convert ATW organizer files to another format, you need AnyTime Organizer or other Database software.
To convert other file formats to the "Personal Information Manager" file type, you need software like AnyTime Organizer or a similar tool.
The .ATW file extension serves as the proprietary database container for AnyTime Organizer, a Personal Information Manager (PIM) developed by Individual Software. Unlike open standards, this file uses a structured Microsoft Compound document format to encapsulate your entire digital life - calendars, address books, task lists, and sticky notes - into a single binary blob.
The primary limitation for users is proprietary lock-in; you cannot simply open an .ATW file in Microsoft Excel or a text editor to retrieve your data. Without the original software, the file is essentially a "black box" of legacy data. For users looking to migrate away from this legacy system, the pragmatic workflow involves opening the file within the AnyTime Organizer environment and using the internal export tools. For data migration to modern services like Google Calendar or Outlook, converting to CSV (Comma Separated Values) or ICS (iCalendar) is essential. For static archiving or printing, rendering the calendar views to PDF ensures the visual layout is preserved.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ATW file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ATW converter.
