BusySync reaches 20,000 users

Last week we sold our 20,000th copy of BusySync!  We're absolutely thrilled with the tremendous success of BusySync to date and we hope to continue delivering top quality products and support to our growing customer base.

BusySync users come in several varieties:

• Small workgroups sharing calendars over a LAN. Typically, this is a Mac-based family managing hectic work and personal schedules, or a Mac-based office with 5 or 10 users. Although we're not targeting large workgroups,  we do have some installations with 50 or more users.
• Individuals syncing iCal with Google Calendar. Typically, this user is syncing between their computer at home and their computer at work, or sharing calendars with a remote user, by using Google Calendar as a conduit.
• And we have customers that are doing both, sharing calendars over a LAN, while also syncing with Google Calendar.

We're done tinkering with calendar syncing for the time being, and are hard at work on the next big feature -- Address Book syncing. Stay tuned!

BusySync: 5,000 users in 100 days

Yesterday we sold our 5,000th copy of BusySync! It took exactly 100 days from the launch of BusySync 1.0 to reach this milestone. Wow, are we surprised and thrilled!

Sales have really taken off since Macworld Expo earlier this month where we announced and demonstrated BusySync 2.0, which allows you to sync iCal with Google Calendar. BusySync 2.0 will be in public beta "real soon" and we expect to release the final version in late February.

BusySync reaches 2,500 users

We recently sold our 2,500th copy of BusySync! It took less than 3-months to reach this milestone and we couldn't be happier.

We've been working hard on enhancing the product since its launch, and recently released BusySync 1.5, with support for syncing calendars over the internet (in addition to its existing ability to sync over a LAN via Bonjour).

And we're not done yet. We have big plans that we will announce next week at Macworld Expo. So stay tuned... And thank you for your support!

BusySync reaches 1,000 users

Last month we sold our 1,000th copy of BusySync. It took less than 40-days to reach this milestone and it was right in the middle of Apple's Leopard launch — not great timing. Since the launch, we've been spending most of our time addressing Leopard iCal compatibility issues. But that's behind us now and we're excited to be working on new innovative features. We're extremely pleased with the response we've received so far and think you'll like what we have in store for you. Thank you for your support!
