An electronic organizer, also known as a personal digital assistant (PDA) or electronic pocket organizer, is a portable handheld device that consolidates a variety of personal information management functions into one device. Early electronic organizers were primarily designed to store and manage contact lists, calendar appointments, and to-do lists. Over time, their capabilities expanded significantly, incorporating features such as note-taking, alarm clocks, calculators, and even basic word processing.

These devices typically feature a small screen, often monochrome in earlier models, and a keypad or stylus for input. The operating systems for electronic organizers varied, with some proprietary systems and later adoption of platforms like Palm OS and Windows Mobile. Connectivity was initially limited, but later models introduced infrared beaming, serial ports, and eventually USB and Wi-Fi for data synchronization with personal computers and internet access.

The rise of smartphones effectively superseded the standalone electronic organizer. Smartphones integrated all the functions of an electronic organizer with the added capabilities of mobile communication, advanced internet browsing, and a vast ecosystem of applications. While dedicated electronic organizers are now largely obsolete, their development paved the way for the ubiquitous smart devices we use today, demonstrating an early demand for portable digital information management.
