iCal is a personal calendar application made by Apple Inc. that runs on the Mac OS X operating system. It is included free with Mac OS X.
iCal enables you to create events, make To-Do Lists and subscribe and publish to other calendars as well. It is integrated with MobileMe so you can view your calendar wherever you have an Internet connection..
The ability for iCal to subscribe to the calendar of any user has been built into info@hand as standard. This is a one-way synchronization, from info@hand to iCal.
Features
- It tracks events and appointments, allows multiple calendar views (such as calendars for "home", "work", and other calendars you create) to quickly identify conflicts and free time.
