Your contacts and calendars like new
View and interact with your contacts and calendars like never before.
Bento links directly to the Address Book and iCal information you already have on your Mac to display your contacts and calendars in new and exciting ways.
Add places to store important details about each person, event, or task, including related files, photos, and emails.
Plus, changes you make in Bento are reflected in Address Book and iCal so your MobileMe account, your iPhone, and your iPod touch will be in sync.
Take your photos further
Track more details and link to other information.
With exciting new ways to display your iPhoto information, Bento makes it a snap to track more details about your photos.
Add detailed notes to vacation photos, such as the photographer, plants and wildlife included, or directions to the location.
Plus, it's easy to link your photos to contacts, projects, and events stored in Bento giving you a more complete picture all in one place.
Share your information with ease
Keep your team informed and up to date.
Now you can easily share your contact lists, project plans, event details, and other Bento libraries with up to 5 Bento users on your local area network.*
Choose which libraries you want to share, and if you want to allow adding, deleting, and updating of information, or limit access to viewing only.** Even add a password if you like.
Now your family and friends, classmates, and coworkers will always be informed and up to date.
* Sharing requires each user to have their own licensed copy of Bento, and a local area network using a wired or Wi-Fi wireless connection.
** iCal events cannot be edited by others when sharing libraries.
Organize more on your iPhone
