It's too bad that fruux went to a web-based service and is no longer a Mac app. They were really cool.

"Note: The new fruux is based on open standards and is no longer a Mac-only application."

It appears that it's no longer an application, period, and is now only a service which works with existing applications like iCal.

I'm not sure what the MU rules are in regards to listing services which don't have companion applications for their functionality (e.g., web apps).

The legacy fruux still exists and we'll continue to run it. As for the new fruux: A companion app for the core functionality is no longer needed because we're supporting open protocols to make that happen. However there are plans to offer companion apps in the future that will help with stuff like account management and setup etc. - We'd love to hear your ideas.

What have you done to this excellent little piece of software. All this sign up at the website make fruux the default in your address book. Is this going where i think its going which is tied to you and then it becomes fully commercial. Look I know everyone has to make a living, but this isn't a piece of software anymore its a lifestyle choice.

Seems that update to Lion 10.7.2 broke fruux, unless there is again a problem with fruux servers....

Sorry for the late response. Unfortunately we get no notifications from MacUpdate when new comments arrive. Next time: http://support.fruux.com and we'll help you asap.

There are no problems with 10.7.2. Let us know (via http://support.fruux.com) if the problem persists for you and we'll get you up and running again asap.

I feel like I've finally wandered out of a wilderness. Fruux at last offers an easy, even transparent way to sync my Macs' To-Dos, Bookmarks, etc. It took a minute to figure out, in part because it's easier than it seems it should be! Had one day where the server was apparently off and on, but otherwise no problems. Do make sure you understand how to delete data on a "target" Mac so you don't have duplicates after syncing, but this is one great program.

Dale, what do you mean when you say that we should “understand how to delete[s] data on a "target" Mac so you don't have duplicates after syncing”? I thought the only way fruux can delete info on a target Mac is to use its “Reset This Computer” button in the “Revert” tab to “reset the data on this computer with all the data in the cloud.” Is that what you’re referring to, or does fruux have some other capability I’m not aware of? Does the “Synchronize Now” function under the “Sync” tab also have the ability to nuke data on a target Mac?

Really good product. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Plus, when I did have a problem (user error), the guys at Fruux sorted me out quickly and efficiently.

Highly recommended, though it looks like iCloud will duplicate much of what it does. We'll see.

Ever since I discovered fruux, I habe been using it on my 2 MacBooks and my iMac. Initially i experienced some troubles, but they were always solved by the fruux-guys, consistently and speedy. Now, the software is as reliable as the fruux-team itself!
Have been trying MobileMe several times, but in the end the Apple-feature is no match for the combined efforts of fruux and Dropbox.
Wherever i go in Europe and abroad, my MacBook(s) are up-to-date and i have all my appointments, addresses and files at hand.
Looking forward to include my iPhone in the sync-process; a feature which is - as I understood- under development.

Should i buy mobileme or fruux? That's the question. No question. The answer is fruux.
Great features, very easy to use, much less expensive, ok there is no webspace, but you can get webspace for free at every corner in the web, so the only problem you have is to synchronize your devices. Synchronize with fruux is very easy. Install the preferance pane in (all of your macs) the system control (very easy, you can download from the fruux website), create an account and you can start at the moment.
The support is perfect. If you have any problem, write to the guys and they are working hard to solve the problem.
Fruux is one of best and important little helper in mac universum.
Fruux gets a full buy recommendation.

The Fruux app was working fine then an update caused some confusion. Most people were fine after another update but I had lingering problems. The support crew stayed with the problem until it was solved and the response time was quick. Rarely will you get this high level of support under any conditions.

Now all my syncing is done automatically and my Macs are happy again!!!

Fruux is one of those apps that you forget about until something goes wrong. And then it's the end of the world. And then you contact the developers and they have a fix in just a few days (in my case 0.9.7 to 0.9.7.1). And then you wonder how you could have ever forgotten about such a wonderful tool that provides so much, asks so little, and doesn't get in your face while you use it.

Fruux is in that class of apps with DropBox and LaunchBar that takes on a task, executes flawlessly, and requires zero interaction to be just plain awesome. And to top it off, the developers are helpful and dedicated.
