This extraordinarily handy utility by BusyMac installs as a preference pane and allows you to sync the calendars of all of the Macs on a network as well as any designated Google calendars. Simply put, it just works. Permissions can be set for read only or both read/write privileges with or without passwords. The integration of Google calendars allows calendars to be edited and synchronized on work computers as well as when away from the local network. Any changes made to iCal while away from the network will be synchronized once the computer returns. Mac OSX 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.5 (Leopard) is required. Leopard is required for the advanced SSL publishing option.

ImageWell by Xtralean Software is a light and handy image editor which is surprisingly robust in its features. I had first used this program when it was freeware for the basic function and shareware for the extra add-ons. With this new release, ImageWell is completely shareware for the fully featured program at a price point of $19.95. A completely functional trial version can be downloaded for seven days. ImageWell is universal binary with OSX 10.3.9 or greater required.

I’ve always gone back and forth with Apple’s included “mini-notepad,” Stickies. Sometimes it feels like a great place to jot down quick notes, but usually it just ends up getting in the way on my desktop. The Dashboard version helps solve this, but then you face the “out of sight, out of mind” problem. What I really need in a note program like Stickies is to see the information only when it is relevant. Enter Paperclip. Read on to find out how this little app can help you make sticky notes relevant, and to find out how you can win a copy of Paperclip!

Just over a week has passed since my review of Knapsack. I was happy to see a number of positive comments with some good ideas. As promised, I randomly selected one reader who posted a comment on the review to win a copy of Knapsack. So, without further ado, congrats to Jacqui Pittenger! You should have heard from us by now regarding your free license! I’d like to thank everyone again for the constructive comments and remind you that if you didn’t win this time, check back again for more of our reviews. We may just have some other great applications to give away in the near future!

Let’s say you’re planning a trip. You are flying to your location, staying in a hotel, renting a car, taking day trips to a few locations, and seeing some sights and shows. If you like to be organized and prepared, odds are you’ve got multiple documents/websites saved. A packing list, a map, an itinerary, and all your important reservation information. Well say goodbye to having that information spread out over multiple documents. Knapsack brings it all together for you in one convenient package. Read the full review and enter for your chance to win a copy of Knapsack!
