What's New
Version 1.2.3:
- Reworked how Syncman interacts with the Keychain. This will hopefully fix some password issues a few users were having. And in any case there is now proper error reporting instead of silently failing when writing to the Keychain fails.
- Updated automatic updates to be more reliable and secure, and made the automatic update check interval configurable (hourly, daily or weekly).
- Made the help menu more helpful, especially when running in the menubar.

In the last week I have given it another try and whatever has been changed has made Syncman very stable and consistent. Always offers the same result, no duplicated contacts and no unexpected results.
Syncman does exactly what I need. Giving me the ability to sync whilst letting me have manual control of what and when.
I will purchase another licence just to support the developer. Was worth the wait.

Syncman has good interface and it works well and is very stable. Well thought out and elegant design. Is it necessary? Definitely for those not up to 10.5.3 or higher or for some who find Apple sync challenging but for me Address Book already has automatic syncing built in for Google, Yahoo and Exchange servers not just MobileMe.
Just go to preferences, select the General tab and turn on your desired syncing. Now the next time you sync, you're done.

As do many, I rely heavily on Gmail but I hate how it automatically adds contacts for every sent email, like replying to a support message, etc. No one wants all that stuff in their contacts...we generally want the same contacts in Gmail that are in our desktop Address Books.
SyncMan does this...and does it either in a completely automatic mode at any schedule you want, or you can monitor various things and manually confirm them (you will be in the auto mode very soon when you see how accurate SyncMan is). My sincere thanks to the folks at Wateree Software, who have developed this gem and who are kind enough to even answer emails, should you need to talk to them.

The ability to sync just a certain Address Book group or just e-mail contacs would be nice, though. My Apple Address Book contains quite a number of contacts without e-mail addresses and I don't really need those in Gmail …

1) 10.5.3 only offers Google Address Book syncs if you have an iPod.
2) This offers scheduled syncs
3) Not everyone is running 10.5.3
