a workgroup calendar server, something that normally requires dedicated software and a server, enabling project schedules, task lists and notes to be shared among team members using Apple's iCal application. SyncTogether supports up to three users with a single $49.95 (£25.50) licence and each additional license adds three more users, so it's inexpensive to cover your entire team.

SyncTogether is compatible with any software that employs OS X's Sync Services technology, including Apple Address Book, iCal, Mail and Safari; Bare Bones Yojimbo organiser; Chronos SOHO Contacts and Calendar; Llamagraphics LifeBalance; Microsoft Entourage 2004; and Panic Transmit FTP client. New applications that support Sync Services are automatically supported by the application.
