This revolutionary new software gives you the power to keep up to 3 computers on the same network in sync with your contacts, calendars and tasks. It syncs…

…between your Mac and PC.

What’s more, it also works seamlessly with Parallels. Want to sync between your Macintosh and your Parallels virtual machine? Simply install the software on both your Mac and within your virtual Windows machine and PlayNice does the rest.
