Syncman

Every so often an application comes along that actually changes your life...or at least makes your life easier and you wonder how you ever lived without it. SyncMan is one of those rare one-trick ponies that does exactly what it's created to do...perfectly! 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.

Purchased Syncman and the beginning of this year but found it a little unreliable. Nothing major, just strange results that I could not replicate and I had to keep reverting to backups of address book. 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.

Been looking for this functionality natively from google... Guess not yet. This product just lost some information I had placed in my address book -- it didn't sync to the web, and it is now lost in AB ... also, company only names keep coming up as changed... i have 11 that come up changed all the time and nothing has been done to them... what gives?

For those who don't have an iPhone or iPod Touch, Syncman seems to be a more than viable alternative to Apple's built-in synchronization. It just works (which IMHO is all one can ask for). It even seems to be better at coping with company-type contacts. 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 …

Great. Works as advertised now with version 1.0.2. I'm really happy with it.
