ClearSync's flagship product is the ClearSync calendar
program which allows users to share multiple calendars and
contacts with anyone, anywhere, at anytime. ClearSync works in
the "Cloud," using existing web connections to sync data via a
secure remote server. Calendars and contacts data are shared
across multiple platforms, including mobile phones, accessed via
the web. The technology seamlessly sends updates, so users are
never out of the loop. Throughout the years, ClearSync has
constantly updated and refined the ClearSync software for
additional platforms, speed, capacity and reliability.
ClearSync's calendars can be accessed through Mac, PCs, laptops
and Android-based smartphones, and it syncs to both Microsoft
Outlook Calendars and Google Calendars. In development is
ClearSync software for the iPhone, Blackberry, Windows 7 and HP
WebOS platforms.
ClearSync started in Portland, Oregon as WeSync back in the
dot-com boom of the late 1990s. When enough Palm PDA users
started using the program, Palm took notice and bought the
company. Not long after, Palm split its company in two −
separating the software and hardware divisions − and decided it
no longer wanted the product. In response to hue and cry from
many loyal users − including John Tanner, president of Tanner
Research − Palm kept the software running on a server, but would
no longer support it. Eventually Tanner purchased the software
and development rights outright, and ClearSync was born.
