Softpedia Editor's Review for PTBSync
|
Synchronize your PC time and manage your important tasks from your desktop
Written by Bogdan Popa on February 14th, 2012
PTBSync is an advanced software solution that synchronizes your system time with an atomic clock using the Internet connection, while also providing a bunch of very useful utilities.
Once you install the program, the Windows desktop is assaulted with multiple windows, more or less similar to gadgets, supposed to serve various purposes.
Besides the atomic clock synchronization tool, PTBSync also offers a very simple way to customize the tray clock, being able to display the moon state, the Julian date or even the Islam, Jewish, Iran or Coptic calendars.
Additionally, the program comprises an organizer and a scheduler, as well as a desktop calendar and a highly customizable desktop notes utility. You can change colors, fonts and transparency to better fit your desktop.
Getting back to the atomic clock synchronization utility, PTBSync provides no less than 156 time servers from all over the world, allowing you to pick the one you wish to use. Plus, it boasts proxy server support, as well as a log tool to keep track on clock adjustments.
The “Settings” menu is fairly large and boasts configuration options for every single window on the desktop, be it the calendar, the weather forecast, the clock, the notes or the organizer.
A good thing about the program is that it needs just a moderate amount of CPU and RAM resources to work properly, remaining light with computer resources all the time.
Overall, it is indeed a handy software utility that brings multiple useful tools right on your desktop, while running flawlessly on all Windows versions currently on the market.
