BusyCal

Think of it as iCal Pro

BusyCal is a desktop calendar that provides seamless calendar sharing and enhanced productivity tools for workgroups and individuals. BusyCal combines the calendar sharing and synchronization technology from the award winning BusySync with a beautiful desktop calendar interface that is instantly recognizable to iCal users — all in one easy to use integrated application.

Integrated calendar sharing and synchronization

BusyCal allows families and small workgroups to easily and cost-effectively share calendars on a local area network and over the internet without the need for a dedicated server. Shared calendars can be viewed and edited by multiple users and changes are instantly synchronized between users. BusyCal also syncs with Google Calendar offering online access and sharing cross platform.

Personal productivity tools

In addition to calendar sharing, BusyCal provides the ability to enter and view event details in a non-modal floating window or an embedded info pane; create To Dos, including recurring To Dos, that display in the calendar and auto-forward until completed; display events in several customizable views including a List View and scrolling Month and Week Views; display graphics, sticky notes, live weather feeds and moon phases in your calendar; apply custom font styles and colors to events; and display alarms in a floating window and on the menu bar.

Compatibility

BusyCal syncs with iCal, MobileMe, the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch, and other applications and devices that support Sync Services. And it's compatible with BusySync, so you can share calendars with both BusyCal and BusySync users on your network.
