Daylite, from Marketcircle, is a great application for Calendaring and managing all the information that you need to keep about People, companies, projects, work opportunities and much more. Like CSSedit, it is the other key 3rd party application that convinced us to shift OS platforms from windows to OS X.
It's like Outlook on steroids
And not the 1980’s Eastern Block kind either but more the modern kind that provide performance without the hit to the looks….
I used Outlook on the PC (still do at my other work) and I must admit it does somethings really well, like customisable forms and views. However, the fact that it only really plays well with others via an expensive exchange server set-ups has always been a proverbial pain in the behind in the small office set-ups I have worked in.
I love the fact that Daylite works in a single user set-up but can scale to 50 users (both local and over the internet) without having to add greatly to the complexity of your hardware or software set-ups. Remote workers are catered for extremely well with off-line copies and synchronisation since version 3.5 is lightening fast.
Also anyone who has been stung by outlook creating but not exporting custom fields will understand the need for a real database. Also being a real database it has proper reports. The reporting engine is very powerful but has a little bit of a learning curve.
