Fruux For Everything

Pigeon-holed in “Technology

If there is one thing in my digital work and life that continually frustrates me is the lack of synchronicity between devices - namely my iMac and my Macbook.

Files have been catered for a while, and I thoroughly recommend SugarSync for that (continuous cloud backup, with recent revisions), but the killer flaw has been the lack of Address Book and iCal balance.

Finally, lifehacker has handed me an olive branch. I’ve tried some of their other recommended services before, but I’ve not been overly impressed until now (Calgoo was shockingly bad). Fruux is incredibly lightweight preference panel application which keeps contacts and events synced. I’ll stop short of a full recommendation as I’ve only just tried it out, but it’s been astoundingly simple to setup and get working. The best thing about it is that it just gets on with it, in the background, no hassle.

If it delivers what is says it can, and (as it is right now) for free, I will be a very happy bunny.
