Actiontastic adds iCal and .Mac sync

Actiontastic 0.9 gets iCal sync support Tim at Hawk Wings points out that Actiontastic .9 now supports Sync Services, making it easy to move your stuff to iCal, .Mac, as well as (previously added) your iPod. I haven't spent a whole lot of time with Actiontastic, but I admire its lean approach to task work (arguably a bit too lean for some folks). Still, I always feel like the less you have to fiddle with, the more likely you may be to actually do the stuff on your list. Also, making sync seamless and reliable is clearly something Mac users are coming to expect in most every app where it's practical. Plus, of course, it works with Quicksilver, and there's nothing wrong with that. 1 Comment

Actionstastic already sync’ed with iPod and with this release I think they can have a significant step from taking it out of beta and making it production-ready. [...] » POSTED IN:
