Things That Sync

by Johan on August 19, 2008

This morning, Apple gave the green light for Things touch 1.1. The most prominent new feature is the ability to sync with the desktop version of Things

From culturedcode.com

Things, my favorite to-do manager for the Mac, is also available in a mobile version for the iPhone: Things touch. Today version 1.1 of Things touch was released that also features task syncing between the iPhone and the Mac! Version 1.1 of Things touch is not yet up on the Swedish AppStore, but should hopefully arrive there during the day.

As with 1Password, both your Mac and your iPhone needs to be connected to the same wireless network for syncing to work. For me this means that syncing is not completely trouble-free, since I’m most of the time connected to a 3G network using both the laptop and the iPhone. But hey, at least synchronization is available so I can use the iPhone as my main device and back up on my laptop!

Sorry about the trouble of needing to be on the same network. It’s because we use Bonjour to detect all the 1Password instances. For most this is ok, but we found several cases where WiFi-only is not appropriate.

We will be adding the ability to sync with iDisk or other online storage systems (i.e. FTP) in future versions of 1Password.

Cheers!
